Summer wheel tire combo. Very slight rubbing on wheel well liner. Strange because I had these exact same wheels and tires on my 2016. Any suggestion for best way to adjust front part of front liners? I've seen posts referencing zip tying. Wondering if they have any pics. Thanks. Bob

2019 2500LT Duramax. Added wheel flares and some chrome accents. Will post a few more when I get all  the winter nastiness off it.

I like that green. Really making me not want blue lol. I’m tired of black.

Tires are stock from the factory (code QF2 - I don't have tire specs handy) on factory 18' rims. Green is a factory fleet color and that limited certain options which accounts for much of list below. Adds / mods include:

- putco stainless window trim

- oem chrome door handles

- chrome bumpers removed and replaced with body color match bumpers

- oem wheel well flares body color match

- oem mud flaps

- upgrade non-power fold trailer mirrors to power fold trailer mirrors (thanks for the help Phil Gamboa)

- front end cranked to level truck

- Leer 100XR cap

Some pics of the front. More goodies

- Low beam: stock projector replaced w/ Morimoto Mini D2S HID kit from fastheadlights.com; bulb upgraded to Phillips XV2 Extreme Vision

- High beam: Morimoto 2Stroke 2.0 LED

- Factory fog location: Vision X 4.5" Light Canons w/ Yellow Elliptical covers

- Bumper filler location: Vision X Optimus Halo and Vision X Solstice Solo (halo only is wired as DRL using harness from Gen5DIY); shim blocks made of marine starboard

- Center oil cooler opening: Rigid SR Series Pro 6" on Rigid mount

- All switched through Switch Pros SP9100 (it's slick!)

Just picked up a 2019 3500 Denali HD yesterday with the Duramax.   It has the off road suspension package which includes twin tube shocks and hill descent control..  First time diesel owner and couldn't be happier.  Much to learn...

2 befores and an after. Traded my 2015 Texas edition 1500 for a 2016 High Country 2500 HD. Cognito leveling kit with bilstein 5100s all around. Toyo A/T II 295/60/20. Rides better than a new truck. No regrets going to a diesel!cee27f2911097d8e44921b5c60cd78aa.jpg46386184cb84e0a7482fc0f10329ceca.jpg23ef01c7d290c0687218d9570470bea4.jpg

I have the same color on my 2015 - I thought it was one year only, though. Your truck is a 2019? I don't see it on Chevy's website. I'd love to see them continue it, though, because Rainforest Green Metallic is awesome.

Are these 275/65/20 BFG KO2s?

They now call it Unripened Green Metallic and is only available thru the commercial fleet program. Long wait and a bit of a leap relying on a paint swatch but very happy with it.

Very sharp rig, man. And, 6.0 to boot! :thumbs: I'm sure you mentioned it before, but what's your lift/tire setup? I love that stance.

The owner already responded, but like he said, that color is only available through the fleet special orders program. Very nice color though. I had a 2006 that was very similar (if not the same).

    • The BORA 3/8" spacers arrived yesterday along with the extended lug nuts. I got the front wheels changed out today, but was overheated and covered in sweat so bad, I figured getting both front wheels done was a win, and took a cool shower. Hopefully, I'll go out tomorrow morning before it gets into the 80+ temps and do the backs. After getting the first wheel snugged up, I backed out one of the lug nuts then hand turned to count threads. I believe I stopped counting around 12-13, so I think I'm good there.    
    • My fullsize truck is averaging over 26mpg so I'm pretty happy with the increased fuel economy targets. When I had my gas Silverado (2020 5.3) it was averaging 21. Again, for a fullsize truck, that's very different from the 12-15 these things used to get 30 years ago.   Whine all you want, increased MPG is a good thing.
    • That is a fair point, and I think an OBD-first proof is probably the right next step. I agree that the value is not the hardware box by itself. The marketable part would be the software: always-on capture, baseline learning, event reduction, system-specific reports, and alerts. Also agreed that if an OBD device is always plugged in and has local storage, it should not miss the event in the same way that a scanner plugged in after the fact would. The only thing I would not want to assume yet is that an ELM327-class device gives all the late-GM data needed at the rate needed. Standard OBD live data, DTCs, freeze frame, Mode 6, VIN, and calibration information are definitely the right starting point. GDS2 also proves that a lot of useful ECM data can be viewed through the DLC without needing a DTC first. The question I need to test is whether the data needed for a useful GM V8 event report is actually available through the DLC, and at a useful sample rate: - misfire counts / roughness by cylinder - AFM/DFM state - oil pressure and oil temperature - fuel trims - voltage / reset context - U-codes and communication events - calibration / software information - whether these are standard PIDs, enhanced DIDs, Mode 6 data, GDS2-only data, or not available So I think the right benchmark is: 1. Build the OBD-only version first. 2. Keep it plugged in and logging locally. 3. Compare it against GDS2 / freeze frame / HP Tuners or another higher-end logger. 4. Measure which parameters are available and at what update rate. 5. Only justify ECM-side hardware if it captures useful evidence the OBD version cannot. So you may be right: the consumer product might simply be an always-plugged-in OBD event recorder with much better reporting. A question for you: when you say ELM327 devices can already deliver all the data needed, do you mean generic OBD Mode 01 data only, or GM enhanced data as well? For a useful GM V8 report, would generic OBD data be enough, or would you expect the tool to include enhanced items like misfire by cylinder, AFM/DFM state, oil pressure/oil temp, U-codes, and calibration information?
