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

Even though I’m lifted and have bigger tires etc it still won’t look right?

I think there may be something different about the front ends of the 1500 vs the 2500 that's more than just the bumper and hood as I've seen a few and they just don't look right. They often dont line up the grille with the bumper either. Unsure what the difference is here but my $0.02 is that if you want a 2500 get a 2500, otherwise keep the front end 1500. It is a great looking truck.

I agree.  I am all for modifications that celebrate and enhance a truck but trying to make it look like another stock version doesn't make a lot of sense, imo.   This reminds me of when I was purchasing my SLE.  My wife asked our salesman if he had any Denali emblems.  I asked her if she wanted to impress others?  She said no, she simply prefers the name.  The truth is, I may know one friend who could possibly identify the trim level of a GM truck without the badging.   I could sport Denali badges (I don't) to make my wife happy and feel I saved $10k!   If you chose and purchased a 1/2 ton, why try to make it look like a 3/4 ton?

I understand what you’re saying; however, I prefer to debadge than rebadge. I don’t particularly care people know if I have an LTZ than an LT. SL? Or Denali. Heck why not throw G63 AMG on that bad boy. I shouldn’t talk my wife’s pathfinder is a GTR.

Lol, I know people do this all day. To each their own. I’ll never post a 2500 in the 1500 forum again. I didn’t know this thread was in the 1500 forums.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.

      What are the conditions of this rich idle? Warm or cold engine? Run time? Does every idle look like this or only sometimes?
