Few updates:

Getting ready to order a '14/15 fts kit for this truck as I found a local buyer for my red/silver 07-13 fts coilover lift that I bought for my nnbs. Most of the parts are the same as I previously discussed so I'm just going to swap the chrome components and coilovers with my new kit, then sell the other kit as the basic fts nnbs kit.

My weld cheyennes still need to go for polishing and the plan is to take them to the shop tomorrow or at some point within the next week.

I'm going to order a CAI in the next week as well and I've narrowed my options down to an Airaid Jr kit or the afe full dry CAI system. I had the Airaid Jr in my nnbs and it seemed to respond well but part of me wants to try a full system this time. Any recommendations?

Also decided that I'm going to add the high country chrome front skid plate to replace my silver z71 one. Was debating painting it blue or black but I didn't really like how those photoshops turned out. At some point I would also like to upgrade to leather, redo my exhaust and get a tune but I think those are lower priorities still.

Finally dropped the wheels off to be polished, can't wait to see how they turn out

Also picked up my smoothed and painted tailgate handle.

Hell yeah! What size tires you plan on running with the lift? Those 33"s will look tiny under that lift.

Planning to run the 33s, I'm only going to set it 7". There's a few trucks around here with 6-7", x12 wheels and it looks right and just clears. The plan is have the cencal clean look with some new and old styles kind of mixed together.

 

Something between the two trucks below.

Stopped by the shop that is polishing my wheels so I could check them out in person since I was driving by on my way to the airport. Now I know why people say polished wheels shine so much more than chrome, the picture doesn't do it justice.

stopped by the shed today to wash the truck but our 7220 is having some starter issues so I couldn't get it out. F7794106-E025-4E5B-85DF-05B3567D0ACC_zps

wheels look sexy on the truck....polished came out beautifully!

Man that thing looks amazing, can't wait to see the lift. I had a 2000 RCSB on 4" and 33's back in my college days about ten years ago. I'll always be a sucker for how they look.

    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • 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?
