It's the Forward Collision Alert light.

I thought so, I was wondering if i could just use that trim piece to make my own heads up display. Would you mind measuring the dimension of the hole? And how deep is the collision warning lights. I like to see if it is even large and deep enough for mods Edited by morrislee

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.

Finished mounting the lights on the hood brackets. "Jeepy" for some, but I'm content :)

More moisture got into my fog light assembly because of the shitty LMZ collars separated. The metal and the plastic was suppose to be in one piece as a collar, but they originally broke off once already, super glued, now they broke again. JB welded the shit out of there now too. hopefully my headache is done from now :(

Just the $30 Amazon special haha

The ones I have hooked up underneath the rear bumper have been there for 7 months now and still fire up without skipping a beat (tapped up to reverse lights).... If anything is going to take a beating, it's something inches above the ground, in all kinds of weather and terrain... So I'd say that for $30, they've passed the test.

My lights for my hood brackets came in today. Going to put them on tomorrow all I am waiting on is the switches I ordered to match the one for my light bar. I do need to go to Lowes to find some better nuts to mount these with to try and make it hard if anyone tries to take them off.

Not done too much too her since I am in the process of remodeling so my truck hasn't gotten much love besides finally wiring my tow mirrors up. I do have to say props to Lew and his tunes because now he has gotten my truck the power and MPG I love. Not bad at all for a truck with 7" of lift and 35s. Before anyone bashes that its fudged or whatnot this is so far with 5500 miles on this tune and I live in the mountains of TN here so theres no flat land coasting or much of being able to cost down hills as our mountains are literally up and down steep grades.

I don't see how yall are getting averages of 18+ mpg. Must really baby them things. Especially yall with the 6.2. Maybe it's because I tow a trailer almost daily and I run mine like it's a Corvette lol

I was able to get 18 when I babied the hell out of it. This was before I had the exhaust done. Once I had it done my city MPGs dropped by 2 lol. It's like once I had it sounding like a truck I slowly went back to how I used to drive, but still not as bad though. I tend to be the jackass beside a smart car or Prius and cruise right beside them and then almost floor it. When I was young I used to mess with everybody no matter what they were driving and I couldn't stand someone just passing me. Luckily I've grown up when it comes to driving, but most of it is from getting a CDL so I respect driving now.

No really babying it at all. Mostly 65-75 MPH driving. I think its how you jump on the throttle to accelerate. On my "hey i needa go fast" days I average 15.5 MPG but thats like flooring it at all lights and passing people hardcore weaving in and out of lanes.

I even get 17 on the freeway and that's with a 6.2, 10" lift, and 38"s

I've been averaging 17.5 mpg lifetime, about 70% city driving and 30% interstate. 5.3 with 3.42 gears.

 

Also, today I gave her a spa day. Washed, detailed, waxed. Took me hours but it was well worth it. Of course it's dark and you can't see it, but I took a picture anyway :P

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
