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.

well I became a real big kid, last week I went out and decided to buy my first big kid vehicle and go into debt like the rest of the world! Got one heck of a deal though, I traded my 2010 JKUR for over its KBB value! I ended up getting a 2014 Silverado 1500 LT crew cab! So far I have been happy with it and actually just spent the last week and a half looking though all the posts in this subject! In that time, I purchased a bug/rock guard for the hood, mud guards (both of those come in the mail tomorrow), and today I went out and got an exhaust put on her so she wouldn't sound like a prius anymore! The local exhaust shop hooked me up with a magna flow muffler, 3 inch tubing after the valve, and a 4 inch exhaust tip! It doesn't sound as throaty as I thought it would, it sounds more.... Race-e like a new corvettes exhaust but I do not mind that at all! Also it is not too loud and I can not hear any drone in the cab so its perfect! Can someone tell me how to post from my mac? It keeps telling me my images are to big to upload! Thanks in advance!

Those are sweet. What brand and how much were they?

 

They were Eagle Eyes and off autoanything for 289, but I am returning them.

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.

I have the new LED DRLs wired to be controlled on/off with the fog lights right now. I may end up wiring them to the DRLs and just taking the amber bulbs out later though.

Thanks. It was a lot of work. No wonder they want so much money to install these things.

Didn't really do anything new to it, but went to the track last night to run it,

 

Left it in 2wd and ran a 15.1@92MPH... Was hoping to get into the 14's but it was pretty hot out and the tires did spin a bit off the line. Next time I will be sure to launch it in 4WD lol

 

Not to bad for 5680lbs though lol

      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.
