Update on truck:

 

Got the fueling issue worked out on the second trip to the dealer. First time around they replaced the vent valve with no luck. Took it back and got a brand new tank and fuel pump under my same deductible for the extended warranty, which means it's paid for itself so far lol. They said there is an overfill check valve on the tank that's non serviceable so you have to replace the tank, lol, okay

 

Next up, been trying for over a week to get some headlights from Amazon. The first order I put in they had a set with a damaged box for $100 cheaper than a new set, so I hopped on it. They only sent me one headlight (sold in pairs) so I requested a return and just ordered a brand new set. Well, I waited to return it till I got the new order in. Again, they sent me only one headlight but this time for the opposite side, so now I have one complete set even though I should have two. Contacted them yesterday (Sunday) and resolved the issue. They refunded me for the second order, sweet! Brand new headlights for $250! Nope, not that lucky. Got to looking at one of the headlights, and piss poor quality control/ assembly didn't move a wire when assembling them so this is what it looks like:

So I ordered another set (hopefully they get it right this time, fingers crossed!) and just gonna return the faulty set under the new/ third order lol

Just send me your old lights. Lol

The one side is broken. I was diagnosing why my HID was not firing on the passenger side and stupid me didn't put a bolt back in it and it fell and hit the ground, breaking things loose inside of it

Broken, or just came loose? They aren't "that" bad to open up. Lol

I can grab the back of the high beam bulb and move the high and low beam assembly, it's very loose

Gotcha. Hard to tell then. Probably broken plastic inside. Any thoughts about selling them?

Once I get my new headlights squared away I'd sell em, just as long as you know the one side is messed up, not sure if repairable or not

So I finally got my new headlights in and squared away. Had to order new HID H7 low beam bulbs and also new H1 LED high beam bulbs. Ordered a transition harness on amazon but it's coming from China, so who knows when it'll get here lol. So I took it upon myself to make my own leads. I don't solder often but I think it came out halfway decent. I mean, as long as it works, right?

All installed! Took me longer due to actually taking my time to make sure everything was correct, and because it was hot lol. Found out why my passenger side HID wasn't firing, and it wasn't the striker from what I originally thought. Turns out one of the relays in the dual relay harness went bad. Guess that's a good design, that way you don't lose both headlights at once. Luckily I had one that fit the bill until I can order the correct one. Here's some pics

Overall the cosmetics and lines of the truck flow better. Hopefully they throw a decent amount of light out. Headlights are Winjet for 14-15 Silverado, the fog lamps are Morimoto Type C LED fog lamp direct fit replacements. May need to adjust everything a little more since it wasn't even dark out yet, shouldn't be too bad though

Adjusted my headlights tonight and also messed with the camera settings on my phone and figured out the light filter. For being a phone this thing has served me well taking pretty decent pics, never really an issue besides the random lag and every once in a while it'll freeze up

These headlights make my truck look like it's from the movie Tron [emoji23] Also, it makes it look more like the 16+ Silverados, which are growing on me

 

The light output is amazing all around once adjusted properly. Gave the truck a completely different look and I'm happy with them so far. Not sure what's next on the truck. Probably tint soon. And thinking about saving up for some 4.88s [emoji16] [emoji16]

I also took my truck in to the dealer on Monday to get my A/C checked out. Of course I had a bad condenser BUT they just so happened to have one! How lucky can I be!? I feel bad for the people waiting weeks/ months to get a condenser

Thanks man! Believe me, if I wouldn't have broken my stock headlamp I wouldn't have spent the money just yet on aftermarkets. Putting stuff on credit sucks but luckily PayPal and Amazon Store Card got my back with special deals like 0% interest for 6 months [emoji23][emoji23]

If it's a larger item I always try and find it on eBay or amazon so I can get interest free. Hey they offer it, it'd be stupid not to take advantage of it!

    • It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
    • It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.       
    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
