That's a little scary. I'm just going to avoid reading those forums, lol. Do you know if its the trinity's with the more issues or the intunes also? I guess the bright side is they can bring your pcm back to life. Sucks you gotta go thru this though. I've settle on a tune setup so once my free oil changes are up I'll probably just leave it installed long term and not touch it for oh the next 7-8 years.

Never looked at the intune forum just the trinity. If i end up going with another tune (sketched out from this one, my bullydog never gave me any issues) it will be a blackbear tune for sure. First time i figured it was a fluke, now that it has happened a second time im taking any chances again lol

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

Got the bumpers back from powdercoat and mocked up the led fog lights. Going to chrome the Rigid adapter plate so there is no black plastic left on the front end...

Also installed an OEM Summit White NAV Antenna. More pics to follow this weekend once I get the body lift finished and bumpers put back on

Removed the air dam finally.

How do you like it with it off? They look nice off but seeing the tabs where the bolts go bugged me. I had to trim mine and put it back on. Happy medium.

I like the way it looks a lot better. I guess im not too concerned about thay, unless you are really looking for that you probably won't notice it. Not worried about the MPG either. Already have bigger tires on it and going to level it when I have time to install. How does yours look trimmed? Im keeping mine, if if does ever bother me that could be an option for me too.

What did you use to trim it?

IO6 GPS Navi Upgrade with apple CarPlay from OEMautoparts

How do you like it? Would you mind posting some videos of how it works?

 

Do they offer a discount if you send your core back in, or would it be possible to sell your HMI to recoup some of the costs?

I literally installed couple hours ago, so far, so good. Is fully integrated, fast and work as intended (I did research quite a bit before I purchase, so my expectations were right) I have upgraded a couple systems with them before and never had an issue.

Install is very easy, came with good instructions and there are good videos on their web site.

I have no idea about core exchange, but doug is really good at replaying to emails.

 

As far as video, here is a good one (not mine but is very detailed and accurate)

Awesome, thanks.

 

Can you hold the phone button on your steering wheel to activate Siri (as it currently works on my 2015)?

 

Also, do you have to have a USB connection or does it work through Bluetooth?

I didn't try the steering wheel button, if you hold the apple home button on the screen of the truck Siri come up.

CarPlay work only when connected via cable so the phone needs to be plugged via usb

They provided me with a dual usb plug to replace the one inside the center console so the media slot and aux in are lost ( I don't care because I don't use them) Bluetooth works are usual but no CarPlay via Bluetooth

      Vehicle Payments

      By KARNUT · Posted

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      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.
