How thick is your sunstrip? And % tint? Im getting mine done tomorrow

Front doors are 15%,sun strip is 5%,rest of the truck is factory tint.

Brand ATC,cost was high didn't have time to wait for other shop,105.00 with tax.

Sun strip is 10" measured from the outside windshield edge,to low part of the strip.

My experience is sun strip needs to be 5%,

Front doors Windows may look little light on trucks cause windshield let's light in,although mine seem even shade and I'm happy.Some are doing 5% fronts,and lower(wider)sun strip,been there and done that,where I'm from I just won't get away with it for long.Good luck.

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.

Gotcha! I got my fronts matched about a few weeks after I had the truck. Got quoted last week $50 for the sunstrip just havent decided how wide (coming down) i want it.

Measured inside the truck in corners 7.5" and 5.75" in the middle review mirror.I have 03 dodge truck its 12" outside,10" inside corner.Most important thing,is how you sit make sure you can see comfortable,the guy cut mine and I sat in it before install.

My only thought you might want to to go 6.75" or 7" in the inside by the mirror to cover this up.Its 1" difference.post-159186-14691227831_thumb.jpg

Finally got the time to replace the Z71 decals on the bed

 

I'm not sure if I like it. I may move them down to the front doors

I'd agree with you and say they look dumb.

I think you need a macro picture to see the overall truck with them on

Still trying to decide.

Doesn't look bad in that pic. It's different but not in a bad way. Only you can decide if it's what makes you happy but it would look good on the door as well. Especially if you debadged the Silverado emblems on the doors and replaced them with those

Changed out the front bumper insert yesterday. From all black, to the two piece Z71 front insert.

How much was it and did you have to take the whole bumper off to add it?

Someone else did this mod and I was thinking of doing it but decided not to,I have them on the doors so it wouldn't look right.

I liked it at the time and think it still looks good on yours,it's better then the damn sticker.

Oh what tonneau cover you have there?

      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.
