Thanks.....I know some people like the "clean" look, but I like it to stand out a little from the others. I design, cut and apply the graphics myself. I am a tech teacher and have a 15" (hobby size) vinyl cutter in my classroom.

Oh yeah Right on ! I own a screen printing, embroidery, large format digital graphics company and do a lot of custom stuff to my truck. Really turns heads because it si one of a kind or something original I designed. If you ever need any help with anything, hit me up I’ll be glad to help. Check out my build page you can see what i have done.

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.

Ok so I didn't like the stock huge z71 sticker on my truck but I did want my truck to say z71 somewhere. Here's what I came up with. ...

What do y'all think? Personally I like it.

In my opinion….. no! Truthfully dude, my first impression …and with absolutely NO insult intended… for my taste, it looks ghetto.

I do custom graphics and if you want to do something custom hit me up and I will take care of it for you at my cost…CHEAP. ANYTHING you can think of pretty much. You have such a nice ride I hate to see people get that impression. You know, like when you see a car go by that has a crapload of those fake vent add ons stuck all over it that they bought at Wally world!!!

So that's before and after.... If you think replacing a cheap vinyl emblem with a laser cut OEM emblem is ghetto then you probably have never been to the ghetto. I removed the original emblem to get away from the cheap vinyl look.

 

Also the new emblem is even smaller then the original... Definitely not a crapload of fake add ons.

 

As ESPN would say ... COME ON MAN!!! Haha.

 

Long story short we will have to agree to disagree.

Whoops......I totally missed that!

 

.....although VORTEC sure sounds better that Ecotec3

Well, I knew i never should have posted that, and that is why I made sure to mention that in no way was I trying to insult you. If you like it that's all that counts. Everybody has different tastes. Personally The first thing I do when I get a new truck is take ALL of the stickers off and de-badge it as well. The Z71 emblem in the grille is enough for me. I know it's a Z71 and 4X4 and don't care if everyone else on the road does!.

 

Sorry if it cam e off the wrong way and I was trying to avoid that in the first place. It's a nice rig and if you like it that's all that counts. Hell, i got ripped for putting Rally Stripes on mine!!

 

As far as the ghetto, I drive through it at least 4 times a day!!!

 

Stay cool, truck looks nice…….. we don't have to disagree….. I'm on your team!!!

 

Cheers!

Nice. Did you request it? Looks like it may be something I'm probably missing also. Where does it connect?

Nope, I've never requested anything from GM and I have no Idea where this thing connect it to.. LOL

 

Looks like GM sent it out to the people that suppose to have them here: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/161289-did-gm-send-anyone-else-a-trailer-brake-wiring-harness-in-the-mail/

Under the dash, probably by the driver's left foot. If there is a junction box there, that is here it goes

My truck on the upper dash to he left of the steering wheel there is a lever to pinch together to adjust the trailer brake I think. Might I need one of these also?

No, these are for the trucks without the OEM controller so you can add an aftermarket one

Got my dash cam installed, but I still need figure out how to remove the headliner glass storage console trim and find a circuit to tap off of to get rid of the hanging wire that's now plugged into a power port below. Wouldn't it be nice if one of those many power ports were installed up there to begin with? :banghead:

I put rear headrest monitors in tonight, two Concept CLD-700`s from Amazon.com. Black matches the interior perfectly pretty simple install. Both can play their own DVD but are also linked to share the same disk.

      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.

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