Nope there are tutorials online.

 

Shit, go to a library if you have to and use there. If you're installing your tune on the AutoCal it'll take 5 minutes and you won't need the laptop again, unless you change your tune.

You could split the computer, and still run windows....

 

 

 

Is that a lot of work? Noob when it comes to this

 

BootCamp.. It's your friend and has a wizard to help you create a windows partition, especially if you don't want to run a virtualization software like VMWare Fusion or Parallels.

 

Instructions from Apple.

Put a set of Bestop Powerboard NX automatic running boards.

Also got in my new skid plates. Gave them a good vinegar and water wash. Then a few coats of self etching primer finally black epoxy paint. It was a long day. I am covered in that frame coating.

Are those the upgraded metal skid plates... good fit?

Wrapped my B pillars, Silverado emblems, and door moldings. I really like how the Silverado emblems blend in with the white now. At night you can barely see them.7d3b75756a3184f574ca31f058722074.jpg7c4e90dc4a957f39e865bd718fbb5f51.jpg

Yeah looks sweet! I want to paint mine black just a little nervous that I would put them back on straight or even spaced.

Take a ruler and Measure the distance between and use a level when you put them back on.

 

It's not as hard as it looks. I can't even draw a straight line with a ruler and I did a meh job

 

Or you could keep them on and plasti dip them and peel off the excess with a tooth pick 6c77297aef3ad078f18ebfc8c1aa56d1.png

not bad can you choose to just have a clear white light option?

    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • 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.    
    • 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.
