Under seat lights on with headlights always or when you open the door?

On with doors opened, or when you turn on the interior lights.

Awesome work!

 

I guess you used the wires in the door sills?

No, there's a wire very easily accessible at the BCM which is right under the driver side dash. I forget the color but can tell you later

Changed a few things up recently. Took the vinyl tint off the taillights, tinted the windshield 40%, and changed my Borla catback to come out behind the tires instead of straight back on the bumper.

You're making me wish I got a sierra! Gotta say I liked the black wheels just a wee bit more but not my truck. Pics on the first couple pages with the HID's are pure sex. :drool:

Also is it just me or is the left tip hanging a little lower than the right?

Yeah, I liked the black wheels too, but I like the bigger tires now better, I keep kicking around the idea of powder coating these ones gloss black but that's kinda irreversible lol.

 

And in the pic the left exhaust tip looks lower but in person I haven't realized it. Great, now I have to go scrutinize it lol!

Gloss black would be sweet. I agree on the tires. My exhaust guy didn't even put a tip on my exhaust, he suggested hiding it under the truck since it was cheaper anyway so I went for it. I like it, plus no dealing with uneven-ness lol. Sorry! :ninja:

Your truck is the tits! The Tahoe looks sweet too.

 

I just got my all terrain, but we test drive a silverado redline and the wife says mine needs red tow hooks.

 

Can you remove them with pulling the bumper? Seen a few people complaining about having to pull the bumper for simple things.

Thank you very much!... I had to pull my bumper, no way around it. Now I've done a few 17 silverados for the red line edition and they supply new bolts, so those can be done without pulling bumper, but not on my 14 gmc.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Most thermostatically controlled ATF systems use a 'wax' pill just like the one in your water thermostat. They work on the expansion volume of the wax and the pill is constructed in such a way as to limit the travel to remain within that range. This means it has an opening temperature often called the 'cracking temperature' and a fully open temperature. For whatever reason oil is designated by it's fully open temperature and water by it's cracking temperature.    Between the two it the "Regulating Temperature" The entire range is about 20 F from closed to open. In your example the lower limit, opening point of 145 F then has a fully open temp of 165 F and a throttling temperature of 155 F.    Thing is, the throttling temperature needs two things to work properly. Enough system load high enough to reach the minimum and a heat sink (cooler/exchanger) large enough to prevent any load applied from exceeding the fully open temperature.    If your system exceeds the fully open temperature it is screaming MORE COOLER.    Here is the silly part of the whole thermostat system where the oil is cooled/heated by the radiator. Nothing is flowing to that system until the oil temperature reaches the cracking temperature unless it is equipped with a minimum flow bypass orifice or a bypass built into the seating surface of the plunger. That system meant to get it up to temp quicker isn't doing a thing until WORK drives if from ambient to cracking temp. One a cold winter day, like zero F, it may never get hotter than about 110 F. Sometimes not even that.    People forget or are young enough to not know that until this millennia transmissions were cooled by the radiator cold tank alone and without a thermostat at all.  In the 50's they weren't even cooled. OEMs learn everything the hard way.    When an OEM tells you the trans "Works best" between 175 F and 220 F it means works best for THEM. The transmission thermostat is fuel play. If you watch you trans temps like I do you will learn that it may take a hundred miles if you are not towing and not driving more than say 55-60 mph on a zero F day to even reach 120 F and it might sit there all day if it's colder. Yet if functions perfectly over about 100 F. It may need to get a bit warmer for the fuel and spark maps to go without an multiplier.    Worry more about too hot. Use a cooler large enough to put that thermostat in range.

      Around 2008 if memory serves they took sulfur out. That was when diesel went up.

      Gas Prices

      By richard wysong · Posted

      Question for you Grumpy, why is diesel so much more than gasoline? Seems to me that it may be slightly a little less refined than gas and it doesn't have 10% alcohol which presumably lowers the price of gas

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      Some Assembly is Required

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.
