Looks good man. How you liking the Reklez arms? I'm torn between those and the McGaughys. Bad thing about McGaughys is being on back order.

I like them but I should of sent them to get powder coated, not liking the cheap paint they used.

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.

Lifetime warranty. $500
20,000 miles on my lift and these have been flawless. Grease every oil change.

On another note I’m loving the new headlight harness I got from @pgamboa I can have parking light and fogs on like the rest of y’all ?


this is a 2014 Silverado LT with the 2016+ LTZ frontend but with the painted bumper

The cold/snow have kept things a little slow, but I recently decided to change my cabin air filter. Had the new one sitting around the house for a while. I did the cardboard method and slid it under the old one as I took it out, and I'm very glad I did. To be honest, I'm almost positive this is the original filter and it has never been changed before (I got the truck used, not sure if previous owner knew about it). Noticed an immediate difference in the HVAC system! :)

 

Also cleaned up some small headliner stains and spruced up the engine bay.

Rain is giving us a break so I finally got a chance to wash and shine. Also, I like to take a run up the highway to blow most of the water off before drying and for some reason decided to try the trailer mode. I tried it once when I first bought the truck and noticed it shifted firmer at higher rpm but this was the first time under hard acceleration and it was like I unleashed  “performance mode” as this thing lit up that on ramp like greased lightning! (I got such a jolt I went down and up several ramps just to do it a few more times! ?)

Dropped it off yesterday @ the local service place. 150k service; brake pads & rotors (originals still on it); anything left over from the 100k service that didn't get done; a front & back groan when I go over speed bumps; & a slight, intermittent noise from the right rear at low speeds (yeah, good luck with that).

Few Projects completed this weekend. #3 on the list was that i finally got around to putting in the external lighted bed light switch and an additional set of GM bed lights. This is a must have,.. No more going in to the truck to turn bed lighting on..

Little update on the ceramic coated long tube headers. Just parked after about a 30 mins drive. Ambient temp is 46 degrees. The header at the top is 182F. The beginning of the Y pipe (coated with VHT primer and fire proof spray paint) is 257F. Not bad! Can’t wait to see what the temp differences would be on a hot day after some hard pull.

Also got the waste gate (my version of exhaust cutout) opening at 8PSI. Did a little quick pull. Its a lot raspier than I expected. The boost did dropped a little bit from what I can tell on the gauge, about 0.5-1psi.

I used the mod here from jaeisber as a guide. The second set of lights was a kit i picked up cheap from ebay for a $100. 

 

I wired and installed the switch first with the same color coded wire instead of using all black, an ran it down to the bottom of the truck first in the wire loom.

 

I just wired in the second set of lights to the original set under the bed rail.

 

Be careful. The light wiring (gauge) is super thin. 

 

I also found the 12v hot out of my hitch connection was the large black wire in my harness..

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.

      Will not stay in Reverse

      By TheGeek · Posted

      I have a LTZ and it has the shifter in the console, which I like, but, every now and then, it will not stay in Reverse. I go through all the motions, hold the button in, push the shifter forward and watch the dash.  The big red R comes on and also the back up camera.  Then, it just pops out of Reverse with the shifter all the way forward.  So then the game begins.  Back and to Drive, Reverse.  This goes on 8 - 10 times. Very frustrating. Had it back to the dealer and they replaced some kind of computer, but it is now happing again. It is so bad, my wife will not drive the truck, she is afraid of being stuck somewhere.    Anyone else with this PIA problem?

      I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that.
