If you like the front eyebrow on the windshield then you'll love the whole windshield tinted with the eyebrow. Makes a huge difference and how dark it looks and it really helps cut down on drivers headlights at night.

So jealous of you guys! I had to go VA legal as ALL cops from State, County and town just watch for that and hate tint. I mean they hate it so bad it's your pulled over and given orders by loudspeaker to roll your windows down and everyone place your hands outside the window as the Trooper approaches your vehicle. I ran the dark stuff when I was young and was even given a ticket while parked at a car crash that I responded to in my truck. He worked the wreck then gave me a ticket.

That's so excessive! It you had prior's for violence it's understandable but whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Especially for a damn traffic violation. Im so happy we have good cops here in Ontario (for the most part).

I even have FD tags and work with the cops all the time plus they know when I'm stopped that I'm a legal gun owner with a permit to carry, it's tied to our tag through DMV so they know I have been thoroughly checked out. They paint their windows black but me and you better not. Do as I say, not as I do lol lol.

I had 35% on my fronts in my Sierra. Didn't match perfect, but I feel that 20% is too dark for me for a functional night vision standpoint. I think it looks bad ass, but I cant see shit!

I agree with you on this, 20% fronts is a pain to backup at night using the mirrors. Luckily i mostly rely on my back up cam to reverse and if I REALLY need to ill roll the windows down a bit to see the mirrors. I would much rather have matched windows and the occasional hard time backing up than different % window tint.

I don't have any trouble backing out at night in my dad's '17 Silverado with matched front windows at 18%. With the help of the back up camera I see fine. My '16 Silverado regular cab with 5% rear window is a total nightmare backing up at night, the rear window is practically useless.

Has anyone had there back window done over the factory. It looks good with the factory, but with the windshield not tinted i feel like you can see in the back too easily. Wondering what % was added to the back that wont ruin vision when moving in reverse.

      287,500 Mile Service   8/13/2026   Reset Fuel Trims   Since the work done in the previous post there was a good improvement in response in all areas except right after a fill up where the LTFT would go -20%+ for about four miles while the STFT was near neutral. Before the work they both went very negative for a few miles after a fill up but act normal thereafter.    We did a systems check of the vapor recovery system for functionality and ability to hold a vacuum. That checked out fine. But this doesn't mean the charcoal canister is dead in the water. Testing that is next up. For now the reset of the fuel trims.    I intentionally shorted the fill exactly two gallons to eliminate any chance of filling the canister. On start up the trims were behaving normally until I got up and rolling where the LTFT went -10 / -11%% but the short was + 2 to 0%. Within a mile the the STFT offset the LTFT and by 2 miles they were neutral. HUGE improvement but still not hunky-dory.    I'll watch them for a few days. Perhaps another tank where I will fill completely to 'first click' and compare. Meanwhile on the hunt for a new canister and I'll toss another purge value at it for good measure. Pending the outcome of the canister test that is. Progress of any kind is welcome.    Fuel economy improvement with bringing hole #3 back to the living was a noticeable bump to the positive. Even on the few miles I drove after the refill I already see another bump up by the trims reset.     She's purring like a kitten with a warm bowl of milk.    BTW, adding 50 rpm to the idle took the majority of the negative timing out on cold start up and leaned the cold idle. No longer burbles in the cat. What a dumb way to heat a cat.

      Yeah, shame I can’t really get that filter easily anymore. Running a PureOne. Your fave!    TAN would be neat to see. Confirmation I ran it too long probably. 🤣

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By superdave160 · Posted

      My son and I both bought new trucks in 2017. Both of us immediately put Truck Covers USA American Roll Covers on our trucks. My son still has his truck and it never sees the inside of a garage. We live in Alabama, so not much snow. My truck was my daily driver and was in the garage when I wasn't driving it or at work. No issues with either cover even after almost 9 years. About a year ago I sold my truck to my brother and bought a 2025 Silverado 2500. The second thing that I put on that truck was a new Truck Covers USA cover. They are very well made and have a very positive locking system. I looked at a Retrax and my concern was the way that the cover locked to the rail. BTW, the first thing I put on the new truck was step bars. Those new trucks are high!

      The Allison 10 speed torque converter doesn't "lock up" like the previous transmissions. It has 4 operational modes; open, slip, transition from open to slip; transition from slip to open. I have an Edge CTS3 monitor and I monitor transmission torque converter slip. Step on the gas and you get a little slip. Take your foot off the gas and you get a little negative slip. I have not found a way to display the torque converter mode beyond that. My Edge CTS3 also displays something that our trucks should already display, the current gear. I also monitor throttle body position and engine load. If I see the engine load getting too high, I'll manually drop a gear.

      Nice result. Your filter is working well  I'd have like to have seen the acid number for this sample. Curious type that I am.
