I dig it. I put a pair of LED bulbs in my fogs on my tundra that were toggleable from white to yellow. They were always white when they came on, but if you turned them off/on real quick they’d turn yellow and I used it a ton. What’d you use to wrap them??

Here's the wrap I used. And I wish I could have just changed lights. Disappointed that the lights are leds and cannot be changed out.

@Lsgun1 i agree, thats why I'm mixed. Kinda want to rewrite and make them a bit more dull and orange color.

Yeah me too. The fixed leds are nice as they match the headlights and DRLs in temp, but there’s so many options out there when you just have a bulb. Headlight revolution has a pair where you can change the color temp of the light just by changing a plastic sleeve that slides over the bulb inside the housing. And it comes with like 5 different ones.

I think the wrap came out good tho, and the yellow (like 3500 temp I think) they say is the best color for seeing in the fog and heavy snow. Idk if you’ll get much visibility from an orange. But, worth a shot. Just peel it if you don’t like it after!

Hey guys!

Very excited, just got my truck back from the shop tonight after having Bilstein 4600s installed on all four corners. Now, I was adamant about getting this particular set since I could tell it was the go-to replacement for Z71 Ranchos , but part of me tries to always think something won't live up to the hype. These shocks absolutely live up to the hype, I am beyond impressed. I definitely feel more in control of the truck over bumps and it doesn't feel rough at all anymore!

 As of late, my ride has been pretty bad to the point where I would go out of my way to avoid imperfections in the road. I was under the impression it was normal? Maybe my wheel/tire setup or just general suspension wear from age? No, it wasn't lol. After the install we did take a look at the old Ranchos and sure enough all four of them were pretty much toast. I won't lie though, I know the OEM Ranchos aren't the best, but I did like them. They were very smooth on the highway and did their job for 100,000 miles, just didn't feel like it was the best decision to get new ones.

Here's a picture of the new shocks. Unfortunately it gets dark so early now so the shot isn't the best, but wanted to make a post and share how happy I am with the replacement. Hope you all have a good night ?

Can’t go wrong with a 16.1” rotor and huge calipers!!!! Was either gonna be ZR1 setup or Wilwood Aero6 setup. Both are slightly under 2k.

Dammit that’s clean, been thinking of upgrading the cross member to the premium one (I had my parts powder coated gloss black so it would match) seen it at summitracing.com for like 380$ and it’s local so I could pick it up for free

I would leave the body lift , run it at 9", for sure get UCA'S (you're going to need them at 9") and I would get 38x13.50 tires .

That would be roughly 13 1/2" taller than stock and badass.

 

BTW I think McGaughys quit making the basic black because nobody has them anymore . They were around $500 less than the Stainless trimmed kit.

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Deadwood · Posted

      I bought belts and pulleys for my '20 L5P at Rock Auto a couple years ago. I have used them for many years, and almost always save significant money, especially when I buy maintenance stuff ahead of time.   They carry many OEM parts, which is all I use unless an aftermarket is shown to be same/superior, or if it is an insignificant part or unavailable OEM part anywhere else. RA is usually lower priced, often by a bunch, but parts are sometimes unavailable or out of stock, and I do shop around and sometimes find better prices at other sites.   Be aware that you pay shipping, and if you buy multiple items and they are coming from different warehouses, the shipping can kill the advantage. Planning ahead is best if possible.   If you have a transmission service in the near future, check out their OEM (AC Delco ULV) fluid, usually MUCH less than anywhere else.

      10L1000 anyone with High Mileage ? I hate Damocles....

      By Deadwood · Posted

      New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      By swathdiver · Posted

      At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.
