Anyone out there know if these are an easy install do they latch on the door upper sill or drilled?? Which I don't want to do just asking saw a truck that had them look classy yet sporty on his 4 door and it was partially lifted look nice need info if any of u have experience or knowledge on how these are installed I'm really liking the Yukon OEM pics are below to give example. Price just hope it ain't over 300$ and not looking forward if I have to drill through the roof ? and opinions are welcome for yay or nay. Thanks

I've been researching how to do this with a Roll N Lock. Looks like it would be more functional than a roof rack.6538.jpg

Thule is the name for a premium product, but it doesn't come cheap!

That's why I bought a Diamondback cover for my truck bed it has tie downs and it can be loaded up to 400lbs :driving:

GMcant33 - where did you pull the picture from with the roof rack and tracks? Would also like to investigate this further...

Googled ive seen trucks in my area that have looks pretty good makes it look sporty with adventure style. I'm mostly going for looks not functionality though I would like to see one photoshop with the Yukon/Tahoe ones. A little bummed thought this subject would reel in more fish.

i'll be doing a roof rack on my 2015 sierra 2500, heres what I got so far. a basket from the local surplus store, and i'll be going with the Yakima Q tower with the Q clip system. I paid $120 for the basket and the Yakima system is around $450 new.

Wow interesting looks good seems like no holes were made in the processed .... Well seems like if I want to do the Yukon /Tahoe style ones more than sure it would have to be customed..

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
