Spent a week polishing and waxing before winter came. First time living in a snowy climate so keeping it clean is way harder.

Nice! Is this leveled? What size G2's? Nevermind, I read your earlier posts.

My 2017 Sierra. The 6.2L is my favorite thing on this truck, I cannot believe how quick an almost 6000lb truck can be. The interiors are also so comfortable. Love it, my first full size truck. leveling kit and larger tires in the near future. I'll go with either 275/60/20 Nitto G2's or Duratrac. Both weigh nearly as close to stock compared to BFG AT's and slighter larger tires that go into heavier load ranges.

I thought it might be fun to post a few pictures of my 2017 Z71 Midnight in less then a shinny state. We have had 41" of snow in 3 storms this week.

 

The first picture was taken during a 24" Blizzard.

wow that's a great picture love the midnights

Finally figured out how to resize a photo on Windows 10 sos why not lol. 2015 GMC SLT AT 6.2L. 30" lightbar mounted behind grill, 33x12.5R20 Pro comps, AFE intake, Morimoto HID retrofit, full LED interior/brake light swap, Morimoto fogs (to be instaleld), tinted, "custom" leveling kit, magnaflow muffler, 15,000 miles

 

Possibly to come: Coilovers, Procharger, electric cut out, Kooks LT and dyno tune, low-pro vent visors, smooth and paint flares. Still deciding if I should keep for a five more years or trade when the new ones come out.

Didn't do a whole lot with her, this morning, after work. Tried to tint the top of my windshield, but first pieces ended up not sticking, will reattempt in the next few days. After that, I detailed the inside, cleaned the windows (in/out) and dash-glass, cleaned the water marks off the chrome parts, removed my wife's makeup residue from the steering wheel controls (HOLY CRAP, I CAN SEE THE ICONS AGAIN!!!), and wiped the dust from the dash, center console, and doors.

 

Will post pictures when window tinting is done.

trimming that valance up a little would make such a huge improvement!

The shop that put the lift on cut the valence for clearance on the angle but I'm thinking of just taking it off completely

that would look much better too. Either trimming it up or removing will be a HUGE improvement

 

Like that if you didn't wanna remove it

    • 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.
