I believe for the ones without the handle the plastic tether is indeed there to hold it incase the airbag deploys. For the ones with the handle its not needed since the two bolts hold it in place.

Ah that makes sense!

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

That makes perfect sense. I left mine on but if I trade it in for a newer model I will just switch it back out and take my handle. Save 40 large

Thinking about doing something along these lines for the new bowtie. Kind of an inverse of what you more commonly see with the black bowtie/chrome surround. I think it looks okay? It's just a Photoshop so nothing done yet - I do like it as is also though. Thoughts?

 

As is:

It does make the bowtie pop. Hard to even see it when it's chrome. Kinda blends in with the grill.

That's kind of what I was thinking. I've just never been the biggest fan of the gold bowtie in the middle of all the chrome/black. Might have to mess around with some Plastidip sometime soon. I've never used it before.

Changed out my chrome LT grill for the Z71 grill.

I love the Z71 grills, pretty much what made me buy my truck

I originally wanted a Z71 but I they gave me such a good deal on this LT I couldn't resist.

I bought my truck used and found it because the dealer had it marked like $4k under their sticker on the website by accident so I had to have it

Got a High Country grill to swap in place of my LTZ honeycomb. Thinking about the bowtie too. I am leaning towards getting a black one instead of the gold. Probably change both front and tailgate gold bowties to black. Can't get the color matched bowties any more...

Where there's a will, there's a way

If you buy the black bowtie insert, I'd just get that color matched at a shop (or try it yourself) if that's what you're looking for. You could try painting over the gold but it'll have that texture to it and may look a little odd. Looking forward to pics of your HC grille!

      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.
