I got an M2M one also. Mine says USN in the cutout, since I'm retired Navy. I should paint those plastic pieces on either side black as well. The grey seems out of place. IMG_1401small.thumb.jpg.5f66da3fd946ffd62c180de3609f9444.jpg

I put on a metal insert on the lower opening of my 2015 2500 within a few weeks of buying it new.  A little dirty right now.  It is a country pickup that just did a road trip to Wyoming.  It has a bug screen over the main grill area also.  Can remove it in winter and snap on a winter front if I feel the need.

I made 1 from pierced metal & painted it. Grille removal was necessary to install. Too bad the bean counters wouldn't let them add a proper grille to the opening.

I bought a piece of painted metal gutter guard from Lowe's and cut to fit. It worked great and blended nicely with the front of the truck.

+1 for mountains 2 metal. Easy solid bolt on install. Just don't do it in 10 degree weather like me. Lots of dropped bolts and expletives.

I use the billet grill kit from ebay. Not sold on the main grill cover, might plastidip the chrome behind it black so it disappears better. I modified the bumper one to fit a light bar mount.

What light bar mount is that? Thinking I would like to do something like this to mine. Those lights look massive, any idea how big they are?

I built the light bar and the lights are the 9" 225w leds (more diodes that the typical 9" led light). I have actually thought about changing things up again and selling the setup. Would be the bar mount that goes the factory bumper mount (no drilling), the four lights, and the modified billet bumper grill to fit the light bar. 

 

The amount of light these put out is ridiculous and I feel looks better that the typical light bar that everyone has nowadays.

It looks absolutely killer! If you sell it, let me know. Might be interested

      Winter Returned

      By OnTheReel · Posted

      .30” of rain all month and it’s been weeks since that. “Mowed” our two properties today for the first time since July 2nd. It only took 30 minutes because all I had to do was level some weeds and saplings in a few problem areas. Everything else is dead.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Dealer reported a failed shifter module assembly so the whole shifter is getting replaced. Yet another premature repair… up to $12,000+ in extended warranty payout in only 5 years and 80,000 miles!

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      According to the dealer it’s an internal leak/failure of the compressor.  Again, another failure that shouldn’t happen at only 5 years and 80k miles.  For some reason the compressors must be hard to come by right now, because the truck’s been at the dealer almost a week and they just located a compressor at another dealer several states away today.  We’ll see if this fixes the issue.

      Brake Bleed Procedure

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a reply on this thread or a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - ACDelco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles. When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so i did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance.

      I wasn’t commenting on your post. Certainly wasn’t arguing. I was making an observation on my long term experience with supposedly proper length of driving for proper heat cycles. Works for me. Although I have seen water or vapor come out of exhaust when vehicles weren’t run very long and shut off. It’s very humid in the morning. Then hot and humid.
