How do you like the titanium?

. The fit and finish are great, the rolling up factor is awesome, no noise on the highway. It has not rained yet so I can't really speak to the water seal but with the flaps on each end I think it will do great. The only thing I don't care for is that you have to unlatch the cover to close the gate, the gate doesn't seem to want to close with the cover latched, I think it's due to the rubber weather stripping needing to be on top of the gate to seal and it being so low profile.

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

Just recently installed Smartphone Mirroring in my new 2015 Silverado, basically it was for NAV and In-Motion Video at first but the WOW factor is still sinking in with all the possibilities of your phone.

I started a install guide still in progress (locked) here http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/175116-2015-silverado-smartphone-mirroring-guide/

How much and more details of it all. I'm doing this my car with JVC head unit now. Don't use the traffic enough to pay for it monthly and it is already on our phones, plus it is better.

Yea same here, with the truck cost already...lol...and having a smartphone with way better always updating free apps, not much of a decision after using my family's LTZ GM NAVs let alone in-motion.

 

The prices very by what inputs to the MyLink you may need or desire for the future.

 

Cheapest way is if you already have the GM A/V inputs. My truck didn't, so I had to do that, then decide on the type of device A/V inputs. I needed HDMI and opted for the cable thou wireless is easy, I didn't want RF issues or limited bandwidth using 1080p vids. The MyLink interface I have has 2 more inputs and also a additional camera input so it is a bit overkill for now but it is cheaper having the options instead of replacing interfaces later to add more.

 

When the admins unlock the install guide thread the full guide will help you do it, or perhaps decide what system you may want. I went with one from MVI after reviewing different brands and dealers.

We will unlock when MVI becomes a paid sponsor. We were not sure if you were just a satisfied customer of their work or you worked for them, so we locked it based on our forum terms and conditions. Decision was made from my superiors

Took me a moment but I guess that's the fun of a personalized plate.

Yea, I took several moments and I still don't get that plate

Received my sierrs spec morimoto hid bulbs and the gm type morimoto foglights. Installed the hid kit, but i have no idea how to get the fog lights out. I took the outer ring off, but not sure how to take the actual fog light out. Are these screwed in? I have the liner installed and cant see behind. I'm also at work with limited tools trying to install these in between breaks so i can try them out tonight since i work the night shift :)

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      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.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

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