Finish installing the dashboard and doors panel trim pieces with painted gloss black trim. Turned out a lot better than what I thought since I had them as extras I still have the gray ones just in case.. cc9d514f9b9d9294f567f9be6e20f6da.jpg792576899f5f367a4d75e862caa2fda9.jpge0a6d89b92ed6bd9039226dbdfa12270.jpgde1b0b813f1b3b311e3b069732550c00.jpg648c38d76c5ca2f8c32e742aa3a616ab.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

That looks really good. I did mine in Realtree vinyl.

Thank you.! The black gloss really offsets the matte leather finish and it it gives tons of depth to the painted trim pieces.

Nicely done! Doesn’t seem as tacky as some of the weird colour matching that goes on.

Used the same paint and clear as the exterior of my truck.[emoji1303]

Is it the shadow(s), or is the shell just a touch too long?  Looking at getting one for mine.

Just a shadow.  The cap fits really well all around.  The installers did a great job of getting it centered on the bed.  I'd say there's less than 1/4 inch overhang all around - just enough for a drip edge.

Dropped my truck off at the dealer to get the AC fixed, still under warranty!! They put me in a 2018 Silverado as a loaner, probably to try and persuade me into trading mine in since it only has 35k miles. It's nice but the only difference is the front end, interior is the same as mine, can't believe nothing has changed in 3 years.

I installed a B&M transmission pan to go along with the rear diff cover i installed a few weeks back. I am so glad i did it. The oil was gross, it was last flushed ~30k ago. Today i did the pan and filter and filled it back up with Amsoil ATF. I also did the transfer case too. The front and rear ends are both also filled with Amsoil. 
 
The pan was kind of a pain to install since i had to drop the Y pipe to get some clearance but beyond that is was easy.
 
One thing i will note on the transmission is it shifts way better than before, not sure if its a placebo effect or not but it has never felt as good as it does today since it was new. The rear end seems a lot less clunky too with the heavier oil in there, the factory oil was like water.
 
The pan,

Looks good. I plan to put this on for my next oil change out.

Didn’t pay the sticker price. Got a hell of a deal for it local.

Thanks. I bought a white one off craigslist and had to have it painted. The high country trucks are not available in silver-ice color.

      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.

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