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

Cut off the factory exhaust in front of the muffler and had a Flowmaster 50 Delta Flow installed with turn downs at the axle.  More than pleased!

I have finally fixed the front end of my truck.

Needed a new grille, air baffle, and bumper. I went with a aftermarket bumper cause oem is too expensive. Night pictures make it look odd though. I was able to salvage quite a bit of this. If anyone needs any frame rail bumper brackets I have two brand new that have been bolted on and bolted off as it turned out I didn't need them.

I'm looking forward to the night pics.  I'm trying to decide between LasFit and Xenon Depot.  I keep reading that the LasFit is too bright in the fog lights, and I'm looking for an LED that won't break the bank (Morimoto) that is better than stock.  Read another guy that said don't go over 5000k color?  No idea why, as I thought it was the lumens that make everything brighter.

 

Two nights, no one has flashed me driving home.

I’m going backwards.  I just ordered a set of OEM wheels like below.  I’ll install them when I decide on new tires.  Probably going with a mild tread AT.  Something not as noisy as the STMaxx.

Good choice.  I like those rims.  Don't go with the Defenders for tires.  They SUCK.

Got the LTZ headlights, LTZ headlight bezel trim, and painted grille ready to be prepped & painted Deep Ocean Blue.

Only another month or so before I can install.

Ellis & Salazar called, headlight trim is painted - they're fixing a problem with the grille for me and then painting.

 

Will be collecting the parts on Friday before I leave for Galapagos Sunday! 

 

The parts will sit for 3 weeks at minimum before being wrapped.  Can't wait to get back to finish the install.

I am a fan of the Defenders.  I find them to be quiet, smooth and have great all weather traction.

Other than the noise was the STmaxx tires good?

Besides my daily ritual of driving to/from work, drove out to Stater Bros in Mojave for a few things, came home, put the perishables away, and went out and tuned my CB antenna.  Didn't quite get the measurements I was looking/hoping for, but at least now I'm less likely to fry my radio while transmitting.

Switched out my headlights. I* decided to be a guinea pig and try out Alla LED headlights. So far they’re not bad. Output is better than stock. I* haven’t gotten flashed at all. In the process of putting in my LED fog lights (same brand) I* broke the clips off of my stock fog light. So I’m hoping I can still get it out. The one thing that was way easier on my F150 was switching out the lights, that’s for sure.

They started off fairly quiet for as aggressive as they are.  They progressively got louder.  I can't use my voice recognition on the highway above about 35mph and my wife can't stand to talk to me over the hands free built in mic.  I had a conference call every morning when I was driving to work and they couldn't understand me and complained about the background noise.  I had to buy a Blueparrot B450-XT noise cancelling headset to be able to call hands free.  

 

The STMAXX hooked up good in the dirt, ok on the pavement.  But around the 1/2 or so tread wear, they started to feel out of round. I balance them and it helped but didn't cure it.  I just live with it.  It's not so bad it shakes the truck badly, but I'm sure the people that have complained about their new trucks vibrating would find it similar.  I had a friend that had a couple sets of Coopers with the AT3 carcass. He had similar out of round issues.  I'm probably going back to what I know with some Toyos.

Thanks for the info I'll look into the toyos and see.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
