Whats up guys! I'm gonna be taking my truck on its first sand dune trip in the next couple weeks and was looking to get a flagpole. I have seen plenty of mounts that hook right up trailer hitch but they look flimsy. Just wondering what you guys are running??

I built one with 2x2 tubing for recover hitch and welded a 1x1 inch square tube for upright and hung flag on it. Not flimsy at all. Have a 5x4 flag on it I think

i built a C shaped mount out of 2x10 and tied it to the front (cab side) drivers side tie down. Then screwed a piece of PVC to that and it works great. even on the highway.

One of the most important things, besides the mount, is to have a sturdy flagpole.  The last thing you want to happen is for the flag pole to break off and become a flying object on a highway.  It’s important that you stay safe and keep other drivers safe.  Be sure to select a pole and grommets that are solid and will not fail.  Get an extremely rigid pole made of metal that will not bend or break off.  Try to refrain from taking the vehicle on highways at a fast rate of speed when the flag is mounted.  Most flags and flag poles aren’t made to withstand winds from driving at fast speeds.

For a dune flag? ee7bb76b0c4b11ae43a04e60480a75cc.jpg

 

A piece of flat stock maybe 8-10 inches long. 2 Holes on one end to pass a small u bolt through and around the tow hook. Half inch hole on other end for the dune flag.

That looks like your flag pole would chip/damage your grill.  Besides, you have stake holes on the bed for that.

Lol the dune flag has to be in the front for safety at the park I go to. Plus the mount offsets it far enough forward that it won’t hit the grille, if you look closely you’ll see the bottom half of my flag is wrapped in a 2 dollar piece of foam in case it does bend back far enough to make contact

Do you have a better picture of this mounted to the tow hook?

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
