Recently someone backed into my bumper and left a pretty big dent in the left corner of it. I went ahead and ordered a fancy ol' aftermarket bumper with the light bars and the pods, and I can't wait for it to be fabricated.

Only problem is that I live in Missouri, and you have to run both the front and the back plates and I won't really have a good spot to put it on the front. Has anyone else run into this problem yet?

Make sure the welder puts a place for it. They have to do that all the time.

Some states require it be on the most forward portion of he vehicle.

What brand bumper and truck is it?

You might have to refer to local police desk. But in Maryland it's acceptable as long as you don't have a license plate holder. I drove for about a year in my s4 with one in my window with no issues or even a warning. I ended up with a recovery bolt plate holder. Which you might have them make instead. So you can unbolt it whenever you want.

This is more or less what the bumper will look like. I just don't even know where they'd mount it.

You can weld in a bolt off the center and you just screw it in.

Just an example of what it looks like.

I'd punch 4 1/4" holes on the bottom center section. I'd check that it's legal at that angle/height but I'd bet they'll be fine with it.

Id run it without until you get pulled over. I know people that dont have them here in wisconsin (which requires it) and haven't had any issues.

Yeah, but my truck already pulls enough attention as it is. I don't really want to give cops reasons to pull me over.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
