Made the 900 mile trip up to our cabin in Maggie Valley NC. We had to make a pit stop in Atlanta for some of the best cup cakes as well!

I don't post much but do browse the forum regularly.

 

Here is my 2014 Silverado LTZ Z71 6.2L. Debadged and waiting for silver bowties.

 

Recently bought these 22" wheels from a forum member that removed them from his Sierra Denali - about 2 weeks ago. They're a huge improvement over the stock 18" wheels, IMHO.

 

Thanks!

They look way better on your truck! I think the Blue sets them off! Looks great!

Finally able to get the bass boat out the last 2 weekends! I've also put 20k miles on the truck in a year! Gas mileage towing not so good lol.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Chevy has a very similar color called Slate Grey Metallic. It is a rare color also. Mine is a 2015. Have only seen one other one just like it.

They no longer make the blue granite metallic. They replaced it with slate grey metallic for 2015 trucks.

That is what I was thinking, that they replace blue granite with the slate grey color. Very similar, but not a perfect match. Both are great color tho, IMHO.

I wish I would have held out a few more months for the slate grey color

    • 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. 
    • There are no stickers in your glovebox?
    • Look at the numbers on the stickers in the door jam...
    • 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.
    • 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.
