Nice job. This is got to be one of the best looking black rides I have ever seen.

Thanks very much for the compliment. Just trying to make it mine!

Great looking truck!

 

Question on your tires....are they the HL Alenza Plus or just the HL Alenza's? Got a set of new wheels coming and I like the looks of your tires. Thanks.

They are the GM Part number version of the H/L Alenza. You can order them from Discount Tire Direct and ask them for the GM specific version. Here is a repost of a previous picture, you can get the data off the sidewall.

Thats a wicked looking truck, man!

One of the best trucks I've seen on here!!! Very well thought out and executed.

 

For the color matched handles/trim, and the painted Grill/tow hooks: Did you have the dealer/body shop do all of that for you? I was looking at the plasti dip but really don't want the matte black look.

 

I've also been deciding on whether or not to get the Black AT grill, but might be a good option to just paint my SLT grill and bumpers onyx black instead?

 

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the comment. I still have a few things custom I am working on, but its getting there.

Denali Grill

Emblems

BR Center caps

 

Plastidip will work, but I prefer to have it color-matched and thats a hard task due to the different shades of black. The stuff I did in my garage was with Shadow Chrome so I could get the outline of the coated items to stand out while still being black chromish. I have even tried black 3M 1080 wrap and its off from Onyx Black as well. Some might not notice, but I will and thats something that would drive me nuts.

Very nice man, makes me wish I went with black. Even though I baby mine, I can't live with that color after owning one before. But you've maintained yours well, keep it up!

Sweet truck!

I'm interested in your wrap for your boards! Custom made? How are the holding up? I wrap all my snowmobiles sure helps with tree riding in the mountains. The 3m wrap is tough stuff never thought of putting it on running boards. I like it! Would you mind pm me a few pics of it?

 

 

Thanks

    • I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations. 
    • You don't want to become predictable now, do you? 😏
    • Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.
    • What are the conditions of this rich idle? Warm or cold engine? Run time? Does every idle look like this or only sometimes?
