Are you still able to turn the fogs off separately?

No. The fogs are on anytime the parking lights are on in this case. You should theoretically be able to turn the fogs on alone, though, but I think the truck turns on the headlights as soon as the fogs are turned on.

I've used air shocks before, just don't get crazy with weight on them as the next weak link is the shock mount. Not that I experienced it with a GM, but ripped the mounts off a Ford Ranger and a Dodge 150...

When you turn the fogs on, your parking and head lights all come on. I use the fog light switch/button as my "one touch" way of turning on my headlights in the "Daytime Headlight Zones."

Does anyone know if you're able to to take off the stock seat cover (non leather)? I am thinking of putting one of the thin massage/heat inserts and have it under the cover, rather than have it always outside the seat. Thanks!

For anyone that wants to use vinyl over plastidip for their emblems hit up your local sign shop. They have a million different colors of vinyl and can even do prints. You might even be able to score scrap pieces for free. This is what I did on my Cruze. For the truck I went black plastidip with glossifier. Gives it a nice satin sheen. $5.86 for a can of plastidip.

 

Just use a plastic trash bag to tape off the area and try not to spray on a windy day. If you have any over spray just rub it off.

Made a docking station for my phone directly into the center console. It works with Android Auto.

Does it stay put if you make a sharp turn? I'd be afraid that the charging pins on the phone would take a beating.

I plan to beef it up with some rubber on each side to support the phone from rocking but so far I've had very little movement. I Dremelled the right angle USB-C connector to give it some tilt towards the backrest. The sub under the console supports the connector.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
