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

Had the windshield tinted today and added a tint strip.

 

Off subject But when I was going thru the thread I saw where you changed out your headlights and fogs. Did you do all of them HID?

I put HIDs in for my headlights and LEDs for the foglights.

Do you like your set up? Can you tell a difference? Did you do highs and lows? Edited by TungstenZ71

Yeah, you can definitely tell a difference. I like the color a lot better and the light output is better too. I went with 6k for both. The fogs are real bright. I haven't done the highs yet but I'll be going with LEDs for sure since HIDs take a bit to get to full brightness.

Added these bad boys to cover up the airbag warning stickers on the sun visor. Picture isnt the best but it looks amazing in persone438b21c79f4935cc22bc1a6c88a8f7c.jpg

Thanks! I had my dad make em for me but I'm sure you can have a vinyl shop make em for you.

 

Do you think he could make a couple for my visors? I'd pay you for them and pay for shipping. Us brownstone metallic boys gotta help each other out :thumbs:. You can message me about it if you want.

He could but I bought very little chrome vinyl and he had the silver but it was the end of the silver. He and my grandpa are taking about closing the shop down... :(

Is your headliner black? How'd you manage that? The visors look sweet too!

Sorry to hear that they may close down the shop. I would buy whatever vinyl is needed, I'm just not sure of how its done and what would be needed to buy. If you could let me know the process and what needs to be bought and I would buy it all and mail it to you to get cut.

You'll need a small piece of silver or grey. That I can't help you on because he already had it and it matched pretty good. Just a 1 x 1 foot square would do or a 2x1 since they come in 2 foot rolls. Then get a longer piece of mirror chrome vinyl wrap. It didn't want to cut very good so he had to waste alot until he got it to work right

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      I never understood the hate for the column shifter. The console shifter just gets in the way, takes up prime cargo space and in my wife's Jeep, the dog constantly bumps the console shifter into neutral!    Best choice ever to just make it a column shifter across the lineup and be done with it.    (Bonus: Makes swapping from a 5 seater to a six seater far easier)

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      I had an 88 K1500 with a 5.7 that had those symptoms, I know totally different, it ended up being the ECM. Once you get the fuel system fixed if it still runs lousy you may want to investigate that. it didn't set any codes, stalled ,ran rough at times etc

      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.
