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

Finally got the SuperLift 8” King Suspension lift put on with the Scorpion SC24 22x14 wrapped in some Nitto 35s. Add a leaf and bags are still going in the back.

@WesternMike Off to a good start man. You should go with 37s next go around. Those 35s look like skateboard wheels under that giant lift.

 

Also, how do you like that cap? Been looking at caps recently to have more usable room plus safety and rain protection. Been looking at Leer and ARE. Curious to how the fit/finish is on yours. Those windows slide both ways or just one?

Can’t throw 37s on until I got my custom bumper put on the front; they’re coming. This is just the start for this truck.

I love the canopy as me and the family camp in it throughout western Canada

Rock on man!

 

Are you using an air mattress? I thought about doing that but doesn't seem like the bed is long enough for an air mattress to fit back there.

Out of Curiosity has anyone taking their trucks in for warranty work regarding suspension after they have gotten a “lifted/leveled shock like bilstein, rancho, fox or any leveling kit.

One of my ball joints is squeaking at 1000 miles

Want to know if I’d be wasting my time going if they’re just going to say it’s my shocks fault.

One dealer told me they wouldn’t do anything for my shot balljoints because of a leveling kit.

My new dealer replaced a tie rod that was clearly due to my lift and did some other warranty work. I have something of a friendly professional relationship with the service manager.

If you find the right service manager, are friendly, and don’t demand things and act entitled to warranty coverage, you can actually get a lot of things done with a nod and a wink.

Changed the dash lighting in my 17 Sierra from Chevy blue to the GMC red like it should have came in the first place. (My opinion of course)

It's more than enough for me, it's what I've always done. Don't really care to be harassed by the cops, everywhere I go, over tint.

      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.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

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