Just curious if anyone has purchased the AVS LOW PROFILE ventvisors for the 2014 sierras and silverados?? Trying to see what they look like. Please post pics. Thanks for the help!

I installed regular AVS in-channel vent visors. I think the profile is low enough. I happy with the purchase as I also didn't want anything to stick out to far.

Those look great exactly what I was trying to achieve. I actually sent the low-pros back in exchange for the in-channels. Thanks for the pic and info. Much appreciated!

Those are exactly what im looking for. Do they just snap in the channel?

They come with a scotch bright pad and four alcohol wipes. You just clean the window track with the scuff pad, then wipe them with the alcohol wipes. The vent visors themselves have 3M tape on them that they stick inside the window channel with. I know what youre probably thinking.....M3 tape? The none in-channel ones just stick on the outside of the vehicle and don't come off. So it's pretty strong tape. Once installed it says to keep windows up for 2 days. I installed them in the cold and thought it might cause it to not adhere well, but those things are on there pretty good. I also have window tint and ha d no problems with it scuffing or anything. Below is a link for install.

I like mine also.... and if you want to remove the white AVS advertisement take some acetone or your wife's nail polish remover and wipe it off.

How cold was it when you installed them? I was planning on heating up the garage to put mine on tomorrow. Highs are finally gonna be up into the 30's the next few days. Think the tape will do its thing as long as I keep the windows up as the instructions say? It doesn't say anything about temp in the directions.

I bought them on Black Friday.....so I installed them early Dec.....in western MA. I would say temps were probably around 30-40. So you should be fine. Wouldn't hurt to warm up a bit in the garage first I guess. I was skeptical they would stick well bc it was cold. I just kept the windows up for two days and have not had any problems. Have put the windows down multiple times since then and even drove around with the window down to see if it would hold with wind blowing at it. No problems. If for some reason you do have any problems you could most likely scrape the stock tape off and buy a roll to reapply.

I got mine installed tonight, garage is well over 70 degrees and will be for the next couple hours. So fingers crossed I will have no problems. Gonna open the windows Monday on the interstate on my way to work and see how they do.

Sorry for the late response, but I've had these on for about 2 weeks so far and no complaints whatsoever. I installed them in the cold.. 40's and left the with the windows up for 3 days. I've drove with all 4 windows down going interstate speeds and zero complaints. Really like the looks of them. And satisfied with durability (...so far)

I have the weathertech in-channel vent visors and they haven't caused any issues with the tint

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off you mentioned "Toyo Says" and then gave the pressures 45/50, was this some person at the tire shop that pulled those numbers out of his head ?   Now of course I can't know your exact axle weights front and rear, however I have much the same pickup as yourself other than not knowing your starting weight as per the pounds the truck rolled out of the factory at due to the options yours did or didn't come with or what you have added beyond the extra tire weight. The correct way to know 100% where a person is at is by weighing each axle with the typical weight the vehicle is driven with and that means taking into account passengers and making sure you figure in a full tank of fuel and a little grace for whatever you may put in the bed "groceries" !    I am looking at and not that it really matters as all the tire companies use the same charts anyway, but I am looking at the comprehensive Toyo tire chart in the section that your tire falls under and I know it sounds confusing but your tire is not an LT metric tire like your factory tire but instead because its a standard inch measured tire its under a different category called an LT floatation series tire. That makes a difference as LT metric tires they don't want to see run below 35 psi at highway speed where as with the LT floatation series it can be run down to 25 psi on the highway as long as the weight on the said size of tire is agreeable with or less than that minimum 25 psi. It blows many people away that how is this physically possible, an empty truck for one thing and larger tires with the same size wheel diameter have a lot more air volume so they can carry the same weight as the smaller tire with less air pressure.    So my truck, I have the stock 275/65R20 wheels and tires and I have a bit of weight in the box with a bak flip cover and a rubber bed mat and some tools and spare gas. The front of my gas truck weighs a bit more than some trucks of the similar spec due to double batteries and alternators. However with full fuel and just me in the truck I am weighted such that I can run 40 front and 35 rear and so that is what I have done since day one.    If I base your truck at or slightly below the weight of my truck, in theory with your tires going by the tire chart you might be right around a minimum of 30 pounds front and 25 pounds rear. Of course that would hit pretty much minimum cold inflation pressure one could run with that tire size and a near empty truck. If you have access to an accurate weigh scale to do individual front and rear axle weights I would suggest you do that and make sure your topped up with fuel and whatever else in the truck before you weigh it and then you will have a great starting point to work off of and figure out what your bare minimum pressures are you can safely run. If you do much in the way of hot weather high speed driving, bumping up a bit for a safety margin is never a bad idea but just depends on what type of driving you do. I will include the Toyo chart and the floatation series sizes start on page 31. Without a doubt at these pressures I am speculating at minimum wise for your truck, it would most certainly ride very different then it did when you were using 55 lb front and rear.     https://www.toyotires.com/media/pxcjubjs/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      This landing is worse than most. Patchy blacktop with washouts, soft gravel/sand at bottom that washes out with every heavy rain. I tell everyone to put it in 4WD. A lot of them think they can pull out their trailer in 2WD. They end up digging a hole and then putting it in 4WD.  The lake is a pristine lake and has a lot of money on it. There are several wake boats and lot of large tritoons. The people with the money don't want it improved because they don't want more traffic.    Boat Landing 1.jfif Boat Landing 2.jfif Boat Landing 3.jfif
