Had a couple of hours...LOL...So I removed the front seats again to put the carpet back and start putting my truck back together... what happened instead? LOL.

Dropped the headliner instead to finish Sound Deadening the roof. Since I had all the bottom half pillar panels off, it didn’t make sense to put the carpets back in then have to take things off again to drop the Headliner.

I also wanted to see if I could completely remove the headliner through the back door. It was really close but didn’t want to take the chance of creasing it. Also, doing this by yourself is a PITA! It’s like hanging ceiling rock and trying to screw it in at the same time.

Anyhow - roof sound Deadening is done. I installed the Flip Down Bracket. I’ll cut the hole tomorrow and get a harness built.

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

Got new shoes, washed and waxed, traded window trim with a fellow member, drove all the way to Florida, and ruined my detailing job by driving through a rain storm. 7407ecbeb2a04fa324c39b8502d664f8.jpga8c688fe85ae4a65d5df3d31fc219e4c.jpg

Key question...... does the sound deadening really make a difference? Have you tried it out with that installed?

Nope. Lol. Had extra material and needed to install the bracket for he flip down anyway... so might as well :)

Swapped stock muffler with Magnaflow 12909 (Dan Fast Muffler is a great shop in Seattle area), deleted the flapper valve, added black tip; installed a Black Bear Performance ECM only tune. Sound is good. Could be a little louder at idle, but plenty sweet at WOT. Louder in cab for sure, but no longer notice the loud part, just the better sound part. Kept the AFM enabled for now, and don't notice it. Love the tune! Makes the truck respond so much cleaner and faster.

RC .25in front spacers came today. That should give me the clearance I need to stop rubbing on full lock hopefully.

Just ordered 4.10 Yukon gears for the beast.

I’m stupid excited to upgrade from 3.40 to 4.10 with the 6” lift.

I don’t really understand that kind of stuff. What would this do?

Lowering the axle ratio (number is higher) makes the gears shorter so you can get up to RPM faster, tow more, have more low end torque, and more fun! But it reduces your MPG and you'll be revving higher in your last gear while cruising on the highway.

      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?
