New Member and 1st Chevy Truck


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi Everyone! I just bought my first Chevy truck (1st chevy vehicle ever) and wanted to introduce myself. Traded my 2015 Ford F150 Lariat for it and have to say that my Chevrolet drives and rides so much better. Thought I would never buy a Silverado and now asking myself why I waited so long. Pics attached.

Good looking truck. I'm pretty fond of the white myself. Here's my 2016 bought 3 weeks ago

So....... what are your first mods planned for her? Be careful, this site will definitely get you in trouble with ideas.

Just curious - what made you trade the F150 in on the Silverado?

My last 2 F150's been nothing but problems. My 2015 had wind noise that was in shop several times and could not be fixed, leaky moon roof, half of the things inside only work when they wanted too and worst of all it towed like crap. Had it 6 months and was a big disappointment.

Congrats, add a clear bra ASAP! Then let the mods begin.

 

Truck specs, engine? options?

Crewcab LTZ with the 5.3L, 8 speed tranny, LTZ plus package, black bow tie emblems package, and think IGot everything except sunroof.

Scott,

 

Got step bars yesterday. They are the 6 inch OEM ones but after a day with them I'm not sure if I like the way they look lol. Might sell them and gets some different ones. Future plans is to level, bigger tires, tonneau cover, tint windows and new exhaust.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
