Shocking results? You mean as in great light output? I like how it works and haven't experienced any negative effects

Sorry I was being a smart azz. I couldn't help but notice that no one made a "shocker" reference.

Switched out my single row light bar for a curved double row. My measurements were off just a little bit so bar is a tad bit higher than I wanted it. At some point I'll redo it and slide it down just a tad and that should center it perfectly, just ran out of time yesterday. Anyways, this thing is crazy bright. Much better output than the single row. Exactly what I was looking for.

Id love to run a double but the z71 grille is going to block almost an entire row of lights.

 

Anyways, what brand was your single row? Was it oz usa as well? If you arent using it would you sell it?

 

I cant decide between oz usa, totron, or spend the extra money on rough country.

Got rid of the clamps and bolted down my A.R.E. Z series cap. You can still see the shavings. I also had to take a Dremel to the fiberglass and the plastic bedrail cap at the tailgate end to get a tight flush fit near the cab. If I ever remove the cap permanently I'll replace the plastic bedrail caps but I don't see that happening.

Looks good. I've bolted down my caps in the past. I feel more secure and the holes are no big deal when you remove it. (-just a little touch up paint to protect from rust)

That really looks great! Any special paint you use? I want to do mine when it gets warmer.

Gotta love it when a low bid you throw out wins an ebay auction. Scored a brand new OEM exhaust tip shipped to my door for less than $35. It arrived yesterday and went on the truck this afternoon.

I can attest for this paint. Had some on all 4 of my calipers on my 02 silverado. Applied back in 2012 sold the truck in 2015 and when I cleaned the brake dust off of the calipers the paint looked as good as the day I applied it. Very nice gloss sheen to it. I used red, it went with some other components that were also red

Washed it, changed the oil, and rotated the tires. Also add some felt straps to the corners of the front seats to help with the seat squeak, and center console lid.

When I lay my arm on my console it squeaks like crazy, are you saying you have a fix for this Grjfer?

Thanks,

Bob

    • I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY
    • I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.
    • Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.  
    • 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.
