I installed some helpers to allow a bit more precision in setting the rear end height. Also to help with the lean when I tow the boat.

Little update as I kind of forgot about this thread. The truck fund went a bit dry while house shopping last summer but finally got around to putting new tires on the truck once I was sure it would fit in the new garage. I was 100% planning on getting Ridge Grapplers but I just couldn't say no to the beef factor of the Trails when I compared the two. There's some rubbing but it's mostly just on the carpet fender liner so I will eventually zip tie them back.

Also bought a new Sierra to replace my Tahoe so I've recently been debating selling the Chevy as I hardly drive it enough to justify having two trucks (6000 miles on it in 4 years)

Been awhile since I updated this thread but pulled and sold the lift, wheels, & tires in order to make the truck a bit more drivable. Have been using it a lot more since and have really enjoyed driving the truck again. Also pulled the rear lift bags and they will be getting installed on the Sierra. The Chevy is heading to my father as he’s been bugging me to buy the truck for a while. Him and I both prefer reg cab short box GMs but I need the extra space with a baby due in the coming weeks so I finally gave in. With the limited miles on it (just under 7k) it’s hard to justify keeping a second truck around especially now that I’m working from home full time.

How it sits currently, 2.5” TGC level installed

Will likely pull the level and rear blocks as well as convert to leather for my father to set it up properly for him to enjoy.

    • 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?
