Fog lights off, notice the cutoff line. Very impressed

Anything else??

headlights that work? lol

 

 

I'm trying to show the difference in fog lights on/off not so much the headlights. The stock headlight output is great on the silverados though. I had a hell of a time with my sierra, upgrades and money and mods to just get decent output...

 

The picture doesn't do justice to the output and increase of coverage the fog lights have, again, they finally got it right from the factory.

Looks great! What level and tire size do you have?

Thanks man! Rough Country 2" front leveling kit and BFG KO2 275/70R17

Awesome. This is basically all I want to do with mine. Level and get some new tires. I think I'm going to go with 285/65's on the stock 18's.

 

Here's mine so far:

Here's the exhaust that I just recently added:

New member that has just found this website. Lots of stuff here to check out.

 

New work truck to replace old work truck. Got the rubber floor in this one and using husky X-act contour floor mats and they do pretty good for not moving around.

 

Looking to add Lund rock rails and Roll N Lock A series top.

I'm the same way. Level and a little bit bigger tires to keep the simple and clean look. I was going to go with 285/65s but decided to get 275/70s because they were cheaper and taller. How do you like your exhaust? I have been thinking about changing mine but don't want anything too loud.

I love the exhaust. I built the whole thing for ~$400 for all stainless from the cat back. It's pretty loud, and does have some drone, but I like it a lot.

 

Man. I think I may go with 275's. I'm just not sure.

That's not a bad price at all I might have to check into it.

 

From your pics it looks like you have a double cab. I had a '14 GMC double cab that I put a 2inch level and 275/70s on it. With a 2 inch level it still had a little rake to the front so if you want it to sit level I would suggest a 2.5 inch level.

I see. I was hoping to go a little wider than 275's, but that extra height would be nice. My dad has 285's on his F350 and they look awesome. I guess I kinda doubt I'd be missing the .57" inch difference as opposed to having a little more sidewall height. I think for my level I'm either going to go with the Bilstein 5100s (~2" lift) or a set of the Rancho Quick Lifts (~2"-2.5"). I'm leaning towards the Ranchos because they'll be so much easier to install.

Here's a pic of my truck currently, painted bumpers and wheels coming soon

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
