Ordered my wheels and tires...tuck should be back from the shop next week finally! Wheels take a couple more weeks to cut.

 

Opinions please...while my truck is getting repaired, I'm having the shop splash some paint on for me...trying to decide:

  1. White painted rear bumper and tailgate handle and factory black plastic bumper cap and steps
  2. Factory chrome bumper and white painted tailgate handle, plastic bumper cap and steps

I have a white painted front bumper with quad white LED fogs with white housings, factory chrome honeycomb grille, chrome lower skid plate and chrome tow hooks with billet emblem and cleared LT headlights, so my front end is a morph of the two front ends here. I'm not sure if weird to have a painted bumper on the front and not on the back but with the chrome valence it might look OK with white on top of chrome both front and back...othewise its more of the High Country / Denali look.

Did you keep the factory air filter and box? It appears that you did. If so did it change the sound of the motor? I'm considering this as a future mod and hoping it will make the truck growl a little more....

Yeah, what he said ^^ but ultimately it's up to you. You drive it and pay for it... we just sit back and admire it. :)

Quality looks great. I'm not a fan of the form factor though, my Street Guardian tucks up nicely behind my rear view mirror and you really can't even tell its there. So stealth I've had multiple people drive my car and not even realize it has a dash cam. Real nice when you have idiot technicians at the dealer take your car out for a joy ride.

 

Will post install pics tomorrow

 

I have to either hardwire mine so it turns on with the ignition. Or alter my cig lighter so IT turn off when the truck is off. If I leave it plugged in, the cam stays on the whole time I'm gone.

Installed my new 50 cal antenna... no loss of signal either and it looks great. Don't mind the dirt, weather here in TX has been crap. Trucks getting washed this weekend. 46929e8a348135d062171b47a8f9de16.jpgee9f72c9645b73c6a2d6034b5dc3f040.jpg

Looks cool, where, and how much? My luck, someone would steal it, or worse, screw my truck up trying to steal it...

I did keep the Factory box. I do plan to drop in a better filter in the future. It might have a little more growl than the stock tube but not a whole lot.

mostly when you kick it hard. I'm happy with it, just Haven't drove it a whole lot since I installed it.

Gave her a bath and installed my Jam Handles today on both the front driver and passenger door. This is an awesome product and a must for black vehicles! No more finger prints on my paint!

So the 3 hole is enough to get a good grip to close them. The site recommends 4 hole for larger vehicles and trucks.

Thanks in advance.

    • 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.  
    • 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.
