5% strip across the windshield to help

block some sun from coming in. I’ve gotten the strip on every vehicle I’ve owned and I like it. Not sure about tinting the entire windshield, due to concern about hindering visibility (esp at night)

First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

Contemplating taking the air dam off... 

I took mine off, and it looks better for sure...but I swear it cost me atleast 2 mpg on the highway. I might re-install for road trips...or just accept burning about 3 gallons more on a 500 mile trip ?

Have a new tiny hood dent, can anyone recommend a hood deflector, can't decide smoke or matte. Thanks20200202_092804.thumb.jpg.fcb9fb5b40f0ef59560fdbec8872f18e.jpg

The One made by Lind works well! You can buy it straight from the dealership and it’s only $100. I painted mine to match and from 5 feet away you can barely tell it’s even there

Scored the rough country bed mat from ebay for $96 shipped with a 10%off coupon code I received via email. Love the fit and can now carry my daughters stroller without scratching it.

New to the site and this has been the WORST, best idea that I've had since buying the truck.  I had a lifted tundra with 35's blah blah blah before and got tired of the 12 mpg, so I told myself when i bought this truck, "I am not lifting it, I am not putting bigger, heavier tires on it, I am keeping this as efficient of a daily driver as possible."  After a couple days browsing this forum and that train of thought is out the window.  ??

 

Anyway, only mods so far have been OEM rear wheel housing liners, Undercover Ultra Flex bed cover, and FINALLY got a shipment confirmation this morning that my Bedrug Bed Liner has shipped after being backordered for 5 weeks.

 

Future Must-Do Mods:  Running boards, Chevy full floor liners front and back, clay bar, polish, ceramic coat, stubby antenna, 2" stick-on convex mirrors (got that idea from a post earlier in this thread), GM Performance Exhaust.  Still debating on blacking out Z71, 6.2L, RST, and Silverado emblems

 

Suspension, Wheels, Tires, CAI still TBD.  ?

Hey everyone. I need some quick help please! I am getting new wheels and tires

Wheels:

 

Method bronze nv 18x9 -12mm offset

Tires:

Nitto Trail Grapplers 33x12.5

 

I am concerned about rubbing and am hoping for some input from knowledgeable people or similar setups. I an stock height now but willing to go to level lift. Don't have money for a full lift rn. How big of a level lift do I need to eliminate running with very minor trimming?

Well the guy who was looking to purchase my wheels and tires is a total scammer so, if you're interested in buying my OEM's let me know! Haha they are plasti dipped. 10k miles..

Installed the Premium All Weather Floor Mats which I Highly recommend.  They provide complete protection of the Floor.

Hey, I just got these. The back row has an extra little lip that gets in the way of the under-seat-cargo tray. Does yours have that? I may have ordered the wrong one.bc471ea5fb8510f9d236f7dd2e7cb74a.jpgbcfedfc16d989781ea3807b04867e93c.jpg374a9401b56c02545cd112f8c50e9e90.jpg

Installed the Rear Splash Guards
 
Part # 84109907
 
A Note of Caution! The 1/2" length rivets provided are the incorrect length and will not hold the two plastic clamps to the fender! Had to purchase 5/8" length aluminum rivets in order to install splash guards! Once installed they look great.

You have the correct one, however, the back lip of the mat needs to be trimmed in order to reinstall the cargo tray.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
