No. My truck is an LT. When I upgraded to LTZ lights and tried the dealer route - BCM programming, I was told "it can't be done". Initially, my Service Advisor was like "We can do that no problem. We'll flash the BCM with an LTZ profile". 45 minutes later, he came out shaking his head and apologized.

 

So I ended up making my own inline PnP harness with the resistors.210414fd91a03824858505d1f9ffe2e7.jpg

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

Finally got around to getting an 'after' pic. Well, maybe a in-between pic as I don't have the wheels and tires on yet.

 

Kings and Cognitos on the front, Kings and a 3" Readylift block on the back.

 

My floor jack wouldn't quite get the frame high enough to stick the new block in, so I had to get creative. The frame is still on jack stands, this was just to compress the springs [emoji23]

It's tempting. I'm going to put a rack/platform on the shell with tracks and am considering getting something similar for the cab instead of the clamp-down feet so it will match and be the same height.

Put in my 5100s last week. Installed the rears today. I think the ride is most noticeable on big bumps or dips in the road. I don't really feel much different over a rougher road or washboard dirt road.

Are you still running stock tires? After I installed fox 2.0 front and rear, I got new tires the following day, 33'' goodyear duratracks. The fox helped on the very bumpy road that would normally cause the truck to skip like on washboard dirt road, but the new tires softened everything. It's still harsh for my liking but overall much better.

Yes, stock. New tires are next month.

      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.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

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