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

I installed a sail panel here in Florida. Great for keeping it shaded.

How many HP does that mod add? :)

 

I might have to use this while out camping sometime.

I tried washing mine at 8 am, but without shade I got water spots before I could get the vehicle dried off. Then after I pulled it into the garage I spent quite a bit of time with detail spray removing water spots. The last couple of times I set up some lights and started washing around 10 pm. It was much better in the cool of the night, but I'm sure my neighbors think I'm crazy.

 

Thanks. I had to add some blocks to make it over the cab. I work in the heat so once I'm inside for the evening I stay there. So I hit it at 8am today.

I added the dupont option at the dealer. It seems to be helping fight the spots

Unfortunately the truck is too long for the garage, for some reason where I live in Florida garages have the a/c, water heater and washer/dryer.

Ag76 I had similar issue, I added an inline water filter to my outside hose with a .5 micron filter. Solved 90% of problem.

I'm gonna have to look into those, I get a ton of spots as well, never would have thought about an inline filter. Thanks for the tip!

It's a .5 micron carbon filter, I had found a guy that was having similar problems with spots on his charter boat. I'll try and find the link. The whole set up costs around $100

At first I thought the rear of the sail was being held up by something attached to your hitch.

Thanks, Tom. I'll take a look at that. I'm usually okay if I can dry the truck off before the water dries, which I can do at night. But there's no way I can prevent water spots if I wash in the heat of a Texas summer day with the sun shining on the truck. I'm curious to find out if a filter could prevent spots even in the heat of the day.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
