Here it is. I have not got mine yet. It moved to production phase today. I have made one on a local printers machine and have that one on my driver side light now. I just have not seen it from this service yet, but this price is way better than the $200 I paid to get the first two made. Give it a try and let me know, plus provide pictures. Thanks.

With the current design of the cap, can you install the cap with out having to remove the whole headlight assembly? The modified stock cap is nearly impossible to install with the FXR projector. Does the new cap address this issue?

I was just wandering through here and noticed this thread. What are these for? Are they to replace an existing OEM design?

Yep. They are supposed to be an exact replacement with more depth, so u can do an fxr or similar, retro-fit. The housings and d2s hid kit together bottom out on the existing cap and without a cap, the housings will fog up like a sob. U will still have to drill them to run the wiring, but u can seal that up with a grommet and/or silicone

I know this is an older post but I purchased one and am very happy with it! I'm installing VLEDs into both high and low beam and the high beam works great but the low beam fits, it just smashes down on the wires/fan area a bit on the back of the bulb. Just curious (I sent you a message in ShapeWays too) if you could make the depth on the 3D file just slightly longer (like 1/4" or so). I'll be buying 3 more but for $100 each it would be great to make sure the low beam lamps will have a tad more room for air flow. Any possibilities of this? Thank you for your hard work!

How easy is it to install the cap over the longer bulbs with the Headlights installed into the truck? I had a terrible time trying to install the modified stock caps. Hoping these work better.

I have never tried to do anything with the headlight assembly without taking them totally out. I got new assemblies and have been trying to retrofit these LED bulbs into it before I even try to install them. It's a pain but well worth it to do it correctly.

Are these still being made? I see them on shapeways but didn't know if they were still being made. I need a set.

I too would like to know if these are still being made???

They don’t keep them in stock. In other words, once the order is placed, they’ll make them and ship them out. They’re quite sturdy, can get them in different colors too if you’re into that.

      GM discontinuing interior parts on a 5YO vehicle??

      By Dkd71 · Posted

      The part # is 84520447, mine does not have the cooled seats but I'm willing to possibly change the cover and foam if needed.   I tried that site and a few others,  added to cart and then paid. About an hout later I received a refund stating it has been discontinued.

      Installed Bilstein 5100's on my 2024 2500HD - Worth it - VIDEO + GIVEAWAY Inside

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Thought I would add to what Bruce answered, not only do the HD models use the torsion bar system, there are I believe 5 different torsion bar spring ratings that are all physically interchangeable with all the HD trucks going from a two wheel drive 2500 all the way up to the duramax or a gas engine truck with a snow plow prep package front end weight capacity that use the maximum sized torsion bar. It starts from a 4400 lb rated set in 400 lb increments up to 6000 lb. If one wants to fine tune the ride for a certain truck application they can swap out the torsion bars.

      OIL CONSUMPTION

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off pay close attention to what Newdude pasted as he is a GM tech !.    I have a couple of questions which might cross off some questions others on this forum would be wondering about as well. So when was the engine oil changed prior to this trip, was it almost brand new oil or did it already have a fair bit of use on it before you started the trip.   Did you check the oil level on flat ground and was it at the full mark just before leaving on this trip which I gather from google map is about 700 miles or so. Why I ask and this is not the first time in history that has happened, that either a dealer or some other shop changed the oil on the vehicle and the vehicle left the shop and the owner ( you ) assumed the engine oil was full but in reality the person who changed the oil simply did not put enough oil into the engine .. it happens !. Also that a shop put the wrong viscosity oil in and an engine was not happy with that thinner viscosity and oil got past the rings at a higher rate than the proper viscosity. Not to mention if there was any leaking out of a drain plug or the filter gasket etc.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You could, although in the end it really doesn't make much difference what comes out in exact terms since it comes down to putting enough back in so that there is enough volume so that something flows back out once the trans is up to temp for the check procedure. I presume your putting a pan on that has a drain plug but its probably the same pan mold/size as at least a while back no extra volume pan was made for the gas truck version due to the exhaust cross over pipe issue. All I can say as per volume I put back in and this was based on changing out the filter as some is trapped in it that does not come out until its removed because of the way its made inside and my truck had sat over night with the trans having been hot when shut down and dripping internally before I pulled the pan. I went off of what the trans shop suggested as a minimum volume he found worked which was 9 1/2 quarts and I had enough flow out of the stand pipe that I knew I was right on the money once it slowed to a dribble and never wasted hardly any oil but it would be totally fine to throw in a full 10 quarts too. I guess personally I wouldn't ruin a perfectly good pan by drilling a hole in it, not with the cost of replacement pans up here or the dorman one anyway with the drain was 500.00 when I priced one out a while back, totally stupid.    I might not have said before but this trans oil type really expands with heat and I think its been said on this forum and the trans shop said the same so I wanted to try and hit the lower temp of the range vs at the top or go shooting above it as that would allow more oil to flow out which wouldn't be ideal.

      Since I am going to be replacing the pan, I am just going to drill a hole in the original to drain it so I will be able to catch the fluid easier and measure how much I took out.
