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

Lol....crazy thinking. Let's break the law and pollute the air that'll show Obama!

They don't spend a bunch of money just to make the black smoke. They spend the money to make them perform and the result is the black smoke. If sports cars were diesel you would see it constantly. My friend's truck sure was a lot of fun to drive on the highway. After you were doing 50 it would pull like a sports car because the turbo was already going. You have to power brake it to get it run anything like that from a stop or down low.

Front emblem is stuck on by a few clips. Only back uses tape.

Still gives me a reason to get rid of old tape and paper haha. Since were on the subject, anyone know how to remove center caps without removing the wheels by anychance? If anything I'll end up trying the Velcro method but was just wondering on anyone else's experience.

I did it! I used two small smooth flat heads. If you can get one behind it and start pulling it out, you use the other to hold it out and then you pry around the circle till it pops out.

I have completed my Dash Cam install: running a BlueSkysea G1

 

http://www.amazon.com/Black-Box-HD1080P-G1W-Novatek/dp/B00J2OVN74/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1405015602&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=Blueskysea+g1

 

which is relatively cheap and straight forward. I ran the power to the 120 volt plug on the dash and tucked the power wire up under the headliner, behind the pillar post and under the dash for a nice clean look. The camera powers on with the ignition and turns off when I shut the motor down, so I couldn't ask for more. Cheap insurance if a jerk pulls out in front of me or other mishaps as they occur.

Did you paint the emblems or something? I'll be trying your method tonight to black out the bowties.

I tried to black them. But it got annoying using plastidip since the emblems are seperated from the rest of the cap like the are on the grille and tailgate emblems. I tried 10 different ways to paint them, all failed. So I gave up on it with plastidip. If I do paint them, I'll take them off again and have to tape off all that I don't want painted, and then I'll have to use a permanent paint.

If you MUST pull the emblems, do it while the truck is hot in the sun, and use fishing line to saw back and forth behind the emblem. You won't damage the paint, and it comes right off. After that, just remove the adhesive residue, wax and you're good to go...minus the OEM badging.

Oh no. I didn't mean pull the emblems out. I meant since they are seperate on the front and rear, the plastidip basically seperated from itself between the actual emblem and the chrome surrounding it. So you can pull the plastidip off the chrome. Whereas with the center caps on the rims. Atleast on the Sierras, the emblem and cap are all one entire piece and there is no division at all. So the plastidip sticks to itself across te entire cap, and if you try to pull it off all but the emblem, it just pulls it off the emblem as well

      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-

      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.
