Hauled this precious cargo home for the first time from the NICU after 40 days!   Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

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

Hand washed, clayed and waxed. Light in the garage doesn't do it justice but I'm happy with it. My arms are tired!

Tool box or gun storage would be great, but doesnt seem like there is a lot of room. Will the seat stay in the up position after cutting the tab?

I built a full length underseat sub box in my truck. Amp is mounted on the back wall. I did the seat mod so I can adjust my settings/gains and access it if I ever need to instead of having to unbolt the rear seat just to change a set of rca's or something.

Changed out the factory fog lights and went with a set of rigid midnight edition spots and a set of rigid SAE fog lights. Took a bit of modification to the factory fog light housing but I love the look so all the work was worth it!

looks good. how much housing got cut up ?? do you have the part numbers (light's/mounting) ? one switch or two ? now you need a light bar, Behind the grill.

As far as the housing itself there wasn't a ton of shaving I had to do just some minor work in a few areas so I could get the lights in the right position. The majority of the cutting was on the shroud that fits on the front of the housing and that was fairly substantial.

Parts were all purchased through Amazon:

Midnight spots - Rigid Industries 20221BLK D-Series Midnight Edition Black Spot Optic, Pair

SAE Fogs - Rigid Industries 50481 D-Series SAE Fog Light Set

Fog light bracket - Rigid Industries 46517 Fog Light Mount Kit

The mount kit isn't technically the right one because they don't make a mounting bracket that fits two D series lights for these trucks(hence all the modifications I had to do) but I was able to make it work!

I actually wired the fog lights direct into the original fog light wiring harness so they will come on when I hit the fog light switch inside the cab and the spots I'm going to wire separately but I haven't fully decided where I'm going to put the switch inside the cab... any suggestions would be appreciated lol

Use one of the 12v cigarette plug-ins.

 

Switch would look like this:

Can you send a link to the jack that you purchased?

      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

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