ok so this is my first post. I've lingered on this forum for months. love it. a big thanks to everone that has shared so much..

I decided to share my recent experience / forced upgrades...

Basically I smoked an antelope doing about 50mph in my 15 sierra 4 dr z71. It smashed up my hood, factory led headlights, grill mirror and bumper. So naturally when the insurance check came I opted for aftermarket parts.

I chose the spider with drl head light. Denali chrome grill. heated chrome tow mirrors with side amber led . magnum bumper with pre runner bar and cree light bar. also added flowmaster super 10 as a bonus, as well as the rough country 2.5 front lift with rear block also. that allowed me to stuff some toyo open country mt 35x 12.5x 20 that I had picked up for 100 bucks used. yes they rub but not that bad. only when I turn haha... so here's a few pics. I'm not exactly happy with the flowmaster due to the afm. not too happy with the way the tow mirrors are wired up. and my drl led do not work but once again I believe it's the way they are wired up. In order to get all the cool aftermarket parts I wanted I had to allow the body shop to do all the work. that's why it's not exactly how I wanted but with I'm sure I could easily correct this. also the low beams in these headlights suck. but will be swapping them out soon. and sorry for some of the pics being sideways. this is my first post, but will not be my last...post-165329-147935454446_thumb.jpgpost-165329-147935456137_thumb.jpgpost-165329-147935457386_thumb.jpgpost-165329-147935459529_thumb.jpgpost-165329-14793546346_thumb.jpgpost-165329-147935468322_thumb.jpgpost-165329-147935474028_thumb.jpg

I got lucky on the ltz grill. Buddy works at chevy. He drove an ltz to my house. I swapped the grills. And slipped him $200. The dealer wants 750 plus tax for the grill

Pretty freaking shady.. your friend is an A-hole. Now some unsuspecting person is going to buy that truck and pay for an LTZ and he's getting a shitty grill.

I agree to a point but he ended up buying the truck himself. And it all worked out.

Completed my truck last week. 2016 GMC sierra all-terrain, 5 inch rough country bracket suspension lift! rides smooth lift was a little bit of a pain in the ass to install, compared to your traditional knuckle kit!!! But worth it IMO. Nitto Ridge Grappler 295/60/20 with Moto Metal 970 gray with black lip, 20x10-24!! Slight rub at full lock on factory mud flap.

My next purchase for sure. The infamous and very hard to find 6.2L max towing package.

 

Just picked up my 2017 Summit White Sierra 6.2L Max towing package last night.

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
