Few weeks late, but I got the MBRP 5080AL installed and am loving it! Pic also shows my OE mud guards installed. Been raining so much here lately that I haven't had a chance to get her cleaned up how I'd like. Quick wash today was good enough for a quick pic though 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.

When I first got my LT I wanted to swap out mine with the LTZ/HC projector headlights. After awhile I actually started to prefer mine since it's all square and the main design of the '14 and '15 Chevy 1500s is blocky and square. So now I'm glad I didn't swap them out. I don't even mind the amber lenses on this one even though I liked the clear corner lenses on my '98. Maybe part of the reason is because it's way more work to have clear corners on these trucks (and the '07-'13). If anything I'd rather just get aftermarkets if I decide to want clear corners.

Yeah I think it looks better, and it pays a better homage to the 90's designed trucks in my opinion.

The main reason I like the '14 and '15 1500 front end more than the '16 is that it reminds me of both of my previous trucks (only owned trucks), an '86 C10 and then a '98 Z71. The '16s aren't ugly to me, just I don't like them as much and also it's too "busy" for me I guess you could say. Just has too much sharp angles and everything.

Added the Husky under seat storage and works fine with the full rear mat. Looks factory and keeps everything from shifting around under there.

Nice! This is on my list and it's good to hear it works so well.

I kept putting it off, but was cleaning my truck this weekend and was tired of stuff being all over the floor. Amazon seems to have the best price think it was 149.

 

At first I was worried it only had the one strap, but once tightened and had stuff in it doesnt move around. Only complaint I saw regularly online was that the dividers were flimsy. They are a dense foam that slides in. I think they are more than sufficient and nice thing is you could trim them to hold something long if needed.

I thinks just due to the angle and the shading by the house. It's the factory stock tint on the back and 25% upfront. Dealer installed for me before I picked it up. It's plenty dark though

      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.
