I ordered a Westin Bull Bar for my 2015 GMC Sierra. I started the install and realized it requires me to cut the trim piece thats on the bottom of the bumper. Does anyone have experience with this? Any suggestions? Also, the bull bar sets off my front park assist sensors. Other than turning them off completely is there anything else I can do? I just ordered the Rigid Industries Fog Lamp Kit so I will post pictures once I get them installed.

Go rhino 3171b, has brackets that attach to the tow hooks bolts so you still get to keep the hooks which is good for me. Works great pushed my 03 Silverado up the driveway cus transmission went out.

You can buy a complete new harness from Gm for 56.00. I used it and did this

 

Ypou dont happen to know the part number so I can go get one of these harnesses? I would rather not cut the wires to the connections incase I go back, but after that initial connection im fine with that! Thanks!

The fog lights are 1 spot 1 flood, the grill insert is from eBay and I added a 20" 5d light bar in the center and 2 spot flush mounted led pods.

Yes, check out my YouTube channel, I have a video on how I set the lights up on the fog lights. Link to my channel is on my signature.

Cant tell from the picture did this mess with the parking sensors... if you have them

 

 

 

I've been looking at a Lund bull bar with LED lighting built in. Has anyone bought this/or have any suggestions about it?

 

I have been looking at the same thing a little concerned about the LEDs being integrated if something goes south with them, also concerned about it being 3 1/2" not many mounts if you want to add any more lights. Do you know what the texture is like, is it more a hammered powder coat finish?

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
