Debadged & 18% tint on fronts to match factory rears

 

*Step bars came off the truck. I had them from my 2013 2500 and wanted to see if they fit the K2xx style and they bolted right up to the factory holes perfectly.

Nice looking truck, and I think a front end level would be perfect.

 

Do you have any night time shots with the original and new bulbs?

Also curious about the phillips crystalvision ultra bulbs. I just ordered mine earlier tonight. And nice score on the wheels.

I would love to level but will only do that when I upgrade to a bigger tire.

 

I do not have comparison shots but they are much whiter than stock. I can not comment on how long they will last but so far I had them running for 8 months. I used to run silverstars until I had to buy them every 6 months. I hope these Philips will last longer. I love the look for being non-hid.

Mirror caps arrived today from Toneygreen on ebay. They were packaged great, shipped Saturday and received today (Monday)!

Got the 20" Denali wheels and tires mounted up yesterday.. dealer wants $50 a piece for the center caps (no thanks).

 

33" or 34" tire with a 2" level is up next once I recover from this hit.

 

I also installed some GM chrome door handles but am not in love with the look. I will most likely sell for color matched ones.

    • I went through again with a test light and everything checked out.    I suppose it could be the MAF itself but I've tried 3 different sensors, 2 of which were in running vehicles previously (the one in this truck, and the one in the donor truck), as well as a new one I picked up from NAPA. I would just be surprised if all 3 were bad.   EDIT/UPDATE: I swapped in the MAP sensor that was originally with the 2010 PCM, that made the code for map sensor voltage high Go away, and the map sensor seems to read normal with key on engine off (14psi or so), but it still doesn't run and does the same thing as before.
    • In addition to a cell or wifi connection, the infotainment needs to be enabled to download software updates. That's a toggle within the system settings.   But...if the truck was prevented from receiving updates in a past life, missing a bunch of updates may mean it won't go back and download all of those because they're not available or the system is too far out of date.   If a formal recall depends on a software update, the recall for that truck remains in an open status until it's applied. The dealer would need to apply the software update in that instance.   Most updates downloaded and applied via the infotainment aren't recalls/safety recalls, they're enhancements and usability fixes which aren't critical.
    • Recently I've been getting a message, "New Brake Pads Detected. Reset Brake Pad Life?", But I haven't had the pads replaced and the truck only has 28,000 miles. The Brake Pad Life shows Front 64% and Rear 79%. I select NO to resetting the brake pad life and the message goes away but comes back at the nest restart.   I stopped by the dealer and was told that it sounds like a software glitch that would require reprogramming. Even though I have the extended warranty, they tell me that reprogramming is not covered unless a module was actually bad and needed to be replaced. Simply reprogramming is not covered. So, they want $200.00 just to diagnose the problem. If it turns out no bad module, another charge on top of that to do the reprogramming. If the cause was an actual bad module, everything would be covered under the warranty.   Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Should this issue be covered under the warranty?   Thanks
    • NHT is diesel only, correct.     The GVWRs for NHT on 3/4 ton bring them to the same numbers as many of the 2WD 1 tons.  A crew 4x4 standard 3/4 with NHT is 11,750lbs, a 1 ton same cab/box/4x4 is 12,100lbs.     Hubs and hub bearings are the same for 11.5" and 12" axles.  Housing, diff carrier and ring/pinion are larger for the 12".   All gas use the 11.5" axle, 3/4, 1 ton and 1 ton DRW. 
    • Yes, I connected it to my home wifi.
