Hello,

 

I'm not the best at Photoshop but I was wondering what my truck would look like with some color matched parts. I figured I would share it with the community and see what everybody thought? If anyone has some actual color matched pictures of the bumpers for tungsten that would be awesome :-) ideally I would like to plasty dip them to see how they look or maybe even the final rap but I don't want to spend that much on something that I might not know if I like.

I have a Tungsten Metallic, but chrome bumper. Here's some pictures off Google though...

 

I'm a fan of Plastidip, but I think the bumpers would look like crap quickly by doing that. Just my 2 cents.

 

Vinyl wrap them if anything!

Really? Maybe my eyes are going haha.

 

There's no harm in trying to dip them. Worst case you peel it off. I just think they'll take a beating from rock chips. Although it's durable stuff, I think you might be touching it up quite a bit.

 

I still think having them vinyl wrapped or powder coated might be best.

I think vinyl would be best because I could just pull it off. I have no idea how much that would be though

Well, if you do it yourself it'll be way cheaper but I don't know about you, but I don't trust myself to do it because it would never be good enough lol.

 

When I got my vinyl done on my hood and tail gate it was only around $400 or so CDN. I would imagine the bumpers might be similar. No harm in getting a couple quotes, but I think it would hold up better and is easily removable down the road if you decide to. Plus then you can get a better colour than black :)

Hah they make an anthracite one but apparently it doesn't look right. I asked for a couple quotes just now so we will see!

In my opinion, a vinyl wrap is much more practical and gives awesome look to your car. My vinyl wrap project was installed by Gatorwraps and I am very satisfied!

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the help!   I'm going to stop into the scales one of these days and weigh my axels, for the time being, I am going to run Toyo's recommendations and also do a chalk test. I have a tire shop that's going to try their scanner to reprogram and set the the factory psi values lower, and if they can't I'm going to order a scanner and do it myself!

      Exhaust Question

      You won’t do better than stock exhaust without headers. Just put your favorite muffler on it and it will do the job.

      Exhaust Question

      By C. Hart · Posted

      I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"     I'd say its the head, and its either leaking at the casting line and dripping down the intake into the cylinder, or its another spot on the casting itself at the cylinder that is getting wet.

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.
