I wanted to go ahead and get this opened up. I have a lot of things I've already done and tons of information and things still to come. I'll try to get this updated soon! In the meantime you can see some pictures in my gallery...

looking forward to seeing the mods, want to see what those painted calipers looked like and if you feel powder coated would be better....

So this story has a pretty long start to it. Back on September 26th 2015 I placed an order for a 2016 Colorado LT 4x4 CCSB pretty much loaded with a V6. I wanted black leather and you couldn't get that with a Z71. On Monday September 28th my order was entered and I got my order number. So the week after Christmas my order still hadn't been accepted by GM and I cancelled it. I'll leave out all the frustration I endured during that 3 month fiasco of an order but the story ends well. On March 20th 2016 I ordered my Silverado. I got my order number the next day on the 12th. TPW followed on March 17th of 4/4/16 and she was delivered overnight between April 21st and 22nd. Yes I refer to my truck as a she. I picked her up after work on April 22nd and below is the image the dealer sent me that morning after she had been prepped. BTW I also got a $750 accessories voucher from GM for all the hassle with that first order I mentioned. My dealer asked for that without me knowing so kudos to him!

May 2nd 2016 I dropped her off for a 2.25 level and 1 inch taller blocks in the rear. This is also when I got the driver side Swingcase and all four calipers painted red. All this was done by Down East Offroad. I picked it up the next afternoon on the 3rd.

So I used the voucher I mentioned in the first post to get the BedRug tailgate mat & bed mat, Chevrolet Sunshade, and the Backseat Protective Cover. I'll also throw in a pic of the Seatbrella seat covers I use for the front seats when I'm dirty or sweaty purchased from Amazon.

I have a bunch of things that are in the works but not finished...Dual Battery, Front Camera with extra imput for additional camera i'll likely put over my daughters rear facing car seat), Air Tank and Compressor, Air Bags (complete), removed rear bowtie and dealer logo (complete), illuminated bowtie (ordered), LineX sprayed Aluminum skid plate kit (complete), frame hole plugs (complete), Unlocked HMI (with rear jumper for rear camera on demand and video in motion complete)... I'm also leaning towards getting the trailering camera system and footwell led kits between now and Christmas. Hopefully I'll get some time to document everything with pictures soon! Stay tooned!

I used oznium leds for my foot well. I think it was one of the first mods I did to this truck. I love them!!!

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • 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?
