Both bulbs are from DiodeDynamics. I've had great experiences with them in the past so I've continued to stick with their products. Everything on my truck right now is from DD except the LED tail lights which you can't really change, obviously. I did put in their LED reverse bulbs though.

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Found an hour of free time yesterday and installed GM - Illuminated Door Sills. Love the way they look! Of course, made a how to video. The box didn't come with instructions and tried searching he

Friday wash day.

Ain't got much shade midday here that's why I usually do it in the evening.

BTW

If you are looking for a good "waterless" wash, I found it for you.

Mother's Speed waterless wash & wax.

I've tried several and wasn't impressed, this stuff did.

Last weekend I was up north for the 4 day weekend and the nearest car wash was about 20 miles away. It never rained so my truck didn't get dirty but it was so humid every morning the truck was soaking wet. It was 90 and very humid every day we were there.

I travel with all my detailing stuff in two homer pails.

15-20 microfiber towels, a few ounces of this, about 30 minutes and it was spotless. No streaks or smears. I did this 3 days in a row every morning. Probably have 3 left in this bottle.

I recommend it. Five stars.

I didn't see a new member intro thread, so... Hi.

 

Not today, but this week I traded in and got new to me 2017 Silverado 1500 LT Z71 - crew cab/standard bed.  14xxx miles and the price was far less than 'worse' trucks. Only things I didn't like were color (Iridescent Pearl) and the color match bumpers instead of chrome.  Live in city, and parallel parking won't bode well for painted bumpers. I'd have preferred something like Graphite Metallic but if that's the worst thing to complain about, I'm well off. It was originally Canadian so it has metric gauges I can live with for now.  Also has some more rust underneath than I care for; understandable since it spent 3 years in harsher winters than I get. Appears to be just superficial, I'll be getting that treated then undercoated shortly. Has soft tonneau cover that I'll be switching to some form of hard (folding?) cover.

 

Today I did order some new console trays, rear under seat storage, K&N 77 series intake. Seen mixed reviews for that now but had it & liked it on my old truck (02 Silverado LS ECSB), so it was reflexive decision.

Installed ReadyLift 2.25” rear blocks for 1” of lift. I would not recommend them.

I really like that the ReadyLift block is cast steel. However, we had problems with the install because the sand casting was too rough. The hole that accepts the bolt head from the spring pack was too small. The hole was .500 and the bolt head was .622. A whole 1/8” too small, so it would not seat properly. They really should have machined that hole after casting. Luckily the neighbor had ends mills and we could machine it ourselves.

All told, what should be an easy job took 2 hours to get it done properly.

Installed my 33s on MotoMetal 970s 20x10 -24 offset. I'm very very happy with everything, did some minor plastic trimming with a dremel and have only slight rubbing on fender liners at full lock.b74c845a88ddcdb01b9f593b0465baa1.jpg177c4554e94c9fbe685b47beccbffda5.jpg06a6500f507009a2064d201cf82622d0.jpg

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
