Looks good.

 

All I added were the toolbox, N-fab steps, lockable gas door and new bowties with the 30 day tags on it. I have no patients so everything I've done I did asap and I'm dying for some black rims and want the bumpers to be black.

Woe, looks great!

How did you fix the dull sliding rear window plastic?

Thanks!

 

I used high performance vinyl used for decals on vehicles. I am in the business so I grabbed some scraps. I used the same vinyl for blacking out the GMC logos!

I did mine in plasti dip back in October

So far no issues, snow, ice, salt, sand, rain and they still look new. If it was a brand new truck I would do it with something more permanent such as the vinyl you used. But my truck "She-need-a" has 190k miles and it's turning into the "DONT GIVE A F" truck that looks ok driving down the road and wont leave me hanging in a snow storm.

Wife said when our last kid graduates high school i can buy whatever truck I want. Yippie!!!!!!

Truck looks great. Love the new tow mirros you have on it. Glad to see another NH member also. :cool:

Thanks! I am actually not sure I am keeping the mirrors. I would prefer the standard ones but when I ordered max trailering on the truck it came with these mirrors. I didn't find out until the truck arrived at the dealer. Now I am trying to firm up a deal with another member on here to swap.

 

Thanks

Really easy! It will take you longer to drive to radio shack and buy the diode then it will be to install the mod. I installed both diodes (one for fog on with highs, the other for cab,puddle lights on with backup lights) in about 10 minutes!

Bedliner is on the list too. Need to find a line-x dealer local and get this thing sprayed!

      Fluid Change Questions

      I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.

      What are the conditions of this rich idle? Warm or cold engine? Run time? Does every idle look like this or only sometimes?
