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

Installed a 1" bottom mount strut spacer to go along with my top mount 1.5" strut spacer in the front.

 

Groud to center of fender before:

 

Rear = 40"

Front = 38.5"

 

Ground to center fender after:

 

Rear = 40"

Front = 39.5"

 

Finally happy to have gotten rid of the rake and riding pretty much level now.

Good looking stance above.

 

My little contribution to my truck today was to order some 25w HIDs for the fogs from HID Guy. Pricey little things. I'll see if they're low enough lumems to actually use with oncoming traffic or if they're like the 35w HIDs I've put in my earlier trucks where they just flame-thrower so big that adjusting doesn't do enough for oncoming traffic. You have to shut the fogs off on my other truck or you blind the other drivers.

Got those pesky radio knobs fixed! Lol.

I took mine in to get an oil change. I mentioned how these do not light up, thinking they wouldn't know anything about it (small dealership). Anyway, the manager didn't have a clue, but said he'd talk to the guy in Service to see what they can do. Well he called me today, said there was a long note put out by Chevy that they wont fix it, and basically to bad.

 

I guess its not a big deal, but I wish they would have told me all this prior to me buying it. O'well..

Had a pleasant day with the truck today. Took it to the dealer to get recall work performed and pick up license plates. Also had them look at a blemish in the paint on the drivers door that I didn't notice until after the first wash. Got to the dealer and they checked their records and recall work had already been done while it was on the lot waiting to be sold. I didn't have high hopes for the blemish as I expected them to tell me that it was tree sap or bird poop from my house and I would be SOL. But they had their paint guy look at it and confirm that it was bird poop; he took it in the back for 5 minutes and buffed it out right then. So what I was expecting to be a long day at the dealer turned into a short morning.

      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.
