Ordered a set of the black grid with silver countersink pedals and floor kick plate today from Performance Pedals. They state 3-weeks to manufacture and deliver. They should look sharp with the black interior and floor carpeting.

Hauled this precious cargo home for the first time from the NICU after 40 days!   Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

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

Pulled the DIC surround and wrapped it with Carbon Fiber...

Damn. That looks nice!

Where'd you get the wrap from?

What brand?

How much?

Do you plan to do other assorted trim pieces such as the steering wheel and wood trim on door and center console?

I added Weathertech floor mats, and the GM chrome bug shield. That's it for today.

I was going to put in the bedliner, but they gave me the wrong one. It goes back tomorrow.

That looks great. I'd like to know more details about it also.

I also like that carbon fiber look. Did you wrap the original bezel or was it a new item?

Today I picked up the black touch up paint I ordered earlier from the dealer for those parking lot idiot dings. While I was at the dealer I also picked up the Chevy dashboard sun screen for the big black truck! Gets just a little hot in there on a sunny day - just a little.

MIke, I own a graphics company so i have access to a lot of cosmetic materials and the ability to do them cheaply. I do Screen Printing, Embroidery, and Large Format Digital Graphics (54” inkjet for signs, banners, posters, vehicle graphics, lettering and wraps). The wrap I used for the center DIC surround is 3M 1080 Black Carbon Fiber, and is about $4.00 a square foot. Compared to other vinyls it is pretty pricey, but 3M always is because it is the best material out there. There are other brands that aren’t quite as expensive but anything in Carbon Fiber is going to be pricey. If you go to my build page you will see the other parts of the interior I have done, as well as rally stripes on the hood with the same material. The DIC surround was the only piece so far I removed to wrap, all the other pieces were done in place. Here is the link to my build page, if you go through it you will see the various other parts hive used the Carbon Fiber on.

Max, I just removed the DIC surround bezel, I ran across a good you tube video of how to take it off, it’s really easy. Wrapped it after I removed it. Any of the other bits I have done were left in place when I wrapped them, because of the way this piece is mounted to the dash i wanted to get the material behind the outer edges. Check out my build page, there’s pictures of the other pieces done,

      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.
