Flares. Spacers. Led fog lights and headlights and Led DRLs. Thought the DRL install came out pretty clean.

Looks good. Which LED setups did you use for the heads and fogs?

Both just plug and play.

Debadged, still deciding on whether I'm going to keep the chevy badge on the back, cleaned and tire blacked. I love the Deep Ocean blue when it's clean...82c1c44b99a01a28b096d65f3cca9386.jpge1c5ce5ef246b8f6e9c581b5477cbdbc.jpg3facb1ecf2fa5e37f03437fa82083c1d.jpg

Hard wired my Escort Radar.

 

Why did you mount it so low? I have mine hardwired and mounted above the rear view mirror

It's been a productive morning.

 

Wrapped my bow ties with white "carbon fiber" wrap. Not an exact match to the IP but I like it.

I also filled the gaps at the front of the bed in preparation for the final install of the bedrug

 

I used black silicone and left it a little textured to hide it in with the spray in liner

Added Gm factory chrome skid plate and tow hooks...it makes the front end look more finished than the cutout in the chrome bumper to me.

 

Planning to do some more color matching and possibly powder coating the bumpers. Still want to keep the white / chrome theme with minimal black.

Hey brother

 

Im liking the fogs you got installed, are those rigid? If so, what did you do to color match the fog light frame plate? TIA

Thanks Roger! No, they're not Rigid...they're generic ebay-ish type LEDs that I got from Auto Light Depot in white from the link below. I got two spots and two floods (one of each for each side) and used the installed similar to the write up in the other link, and just painted the housings after I trimmed them to fit. Hope that helps!

Did you make the LED strips your DRL's and have them disabled in the headlights? I want to add something like Putco Dayliners but I don't want the low-beam DRL's on at the same time.

    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • 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.    
    • 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.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
