I agree, your truck, your money, do what you want! At the same time, don't post pics of your truck and expect everybody to drool over them. If you decide to be an attention whore then expect some negative with the positive, otherwise, don't waste your time. There will always be somebody who thinks your truck is a turd!

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

Got rid of my chrome on the lower valence with some plastidip.

Washed and waxed the truck as welldc86c83cc399ae9f85a80d2102b29cd1.jpgcfc0c194bf5c2543f0df8fc560e152a4.jpg7ad2c3cf41c1b7afe9ee0e76e8b632c9.jpg

Found the handles and mirror caps on eBay, they were new take offs.

 

Bought new trim from an oem chevy parts site.

 

So worth it! Million times better looking than all the chrome ltz stuff.

Got my tint done Thursday.

 

Put on the driver's side assist handle today.

 

Also pulled off the dash bezel and added two Panavise mounts. And pulled the screen out and put a screen protector on while I was in there. Which requires taking 13 gold T15 screws out of the back of the screen assembly - I kept thinking surely they don't all need to come out!!

 

If you decide to take the screen out of its frame for any reason, pay extra attention to the long pins when fitting it back up with the frame piece. The 8 pins has specific holes they need to go into and could easily be bent (see the last few pics)

I did it to install a Panavise mount also. It is very hard the first time. Make you have some of those plastic trim removing tools. The clips will be very tight to break free the first time. It feels like you could crack or break the bezel at times. And if you aren't slow and patient you just might. It was scary when the tougher clips finally broke free. Upon subsequent removals to make adjustments some of them were much easier to break free. Right tools for the job is key.

Removed lower front valance and installed a Flowmaster super 10 series, removed resonator and tacked the valve open. d910f03e7de6f454bfa18941f1d037ab.jpgf71009bfef4bc9474747bf55621f644f.jpg

Forgot to mention, the muffler swap, resonator delete and valve mod cost me $155 bucks at a local shop near me. Was going to swap tips for a dual but that was an extra $100 I didn't have right now.

Nice! I'm thinking about doing the same thing only with a 40. How does it sound and is there any horrible drone?

Thanks. Sounds really good so far just driving around the neighborhood, no freeway tests yet. I can't even tell about the drone. When cruising 35 - 40mph it sounds good even after dropping to V4. I love it and for the price, great mod IMO.

As already mentioned, it's a bit tough. I've got a trim removal kit and it still feels like you're on the verge of busting something the first time. There's a decent YouTube video for a 2015 Silverado Screen Removal that does a decent job of showing where to pry and in what order, but the guy's bezel looks pretty loose to start with as it pops off easily. That definitely wasn't the case with mine. In that video, he doesn't have to pry the clips off on the lower middle section - they just pop off. Those were the two hardest to get off, IMO. I had to use a trim tool and push one of the clip tabs in to get it out.

 

The screen assembly also comes out pretty hard. There are four screws, but also two clips behind. You feel like you're going to bend the screen in half, then all of a sudden the clips release. That part is also in the YouTube vid [emoji1360]

I agree, 100%. I am looking for the same stuff right now for mine. How bad did they hit you for the new trim?

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      OCI, not when but why?

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
