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

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!

I bought a billet grille emblem and had it powder coated "tractor red" and it's nearly a perfect match to my Victory Red truck. I don't know if powder coating shops all use the same stuff but if you can find something as close as I did, I think you'll be happy about the match if they have a lot of colors to choose from. Just a thought.

Thanks Tom. Your mod is what I am interested in doing. I was hoping to get a color matched bowtie but this is a good option that I'll look into.

Just an FYI, your truck is the reason I wanted the HC grille. I googled pics of it since I knew I wouldn't be able to buy a High Country a few months before I even bought the truck. The #1 thing I wanted to change was the industrial style grille and loved the factory-yet-billet look of the HC. I also think it looks better on non-HC than it does with the color-matched bumpers that the HC has. Goes well with the chrome bumper IMO.

Where are y'all finding these high country grills? I found one on eBay for $420.

 

I found mine on eBay for $378 but they were running a sale and went up very shortly after I bought it. Then I sold my LTZ grille to make up some of the cost (which was a big fail due to much higher-than-expected shipping costs, but that's another story).

Got mine from Rydell Surplus for 330ish shipped. Think I saw Chuck get his in classifieds.

Yup...Wifey's car...she busted a stock rim some time ago, so I just had to replace them with American Racing wheels and Yokohama skins.

I got mine from a forum member in the For Sale section. Last time I looked, there was another one on there for sale.

just installed some foot well lights in mine. I used the Type S led strips from auto zone. I can change the color and pattern of each led strip individually from my iphone via bluetooth.

Today I installed a Truxedo tonneaumate toolbox. I have liked my Lo Pro QT since installing it and this toolbox fits perfect. Also installation was a breeze.

 

Only change I would make is to have the rails the toolbox hangs on be the full length of the truck box. So I could set the box in the back of the truck and when needing to haul something larger I could slide it to the front.

 

I'm gonna do some looking to see if this is an option.

I have taken my Lo Pro though several carwash's (usually the soft touch type) and washed it by hand. The truck box has stayed dry through all of them. I recently went through the car wash and had several blankets in the box they all stayed dry, with the pace edwards i had on my S10 they would have all been as wet as if the cover had been open. So needless to say I am extremely happy with the Lo Pro

 

I wasn't expecting the tonneaumate to be as big as it is. A guy can fit a lot of gear in it.. Also it can be locked too!!

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
