For further clarification they posted a note in their FB tonight. For some reason the 10 speed is not ready (even though I was email it was [emoji2373]) it is being beta tested at the moment. I have to call range tomorrow. I’ll update in the morning

Alright here is the update. They have received reports on some trucks (6.2/10 speed) it doesn’t work and some it does. They are beta testing some trucks at the moment. I was told (since mine has shipped) I can try it out if it doesnt work I can send back (refund or update to the module when that is finalized). We will see when it gets here if it works.

Center console light was useless with the tray on top, so I added a led book light and velcro’d it inside.  Plenty of light now

So I guess you like the console tray? I’ve been debating getting one for small items so I can find them easily.

Stock tire size is 33''. The offset and width could case a bit of rubbing but I don't think it'll be extreme. 

 

If you need to level, I went with a motofab 2.5'' top spacer on mine. It was painless enough to install and inexpensive (70$). But you could easily get a set struts for about 300$ that should level the truck out a little up front to give you more clearance. 

 

Take pictures and update when it's done. The wheel and tire combo will be nice. 

I finally got my wheels and tires. Got a great deal too! (Fyi I looked up my OEM tires and they are actually 31" but maybe they have different options especially for the trail boss)

So here's what I've done with my truck so far since my purchase back in July '19:

My truck is a 5.3L Crew Cab Standard bed RST.

I worked in custom leather seats and spray in bed liner into my deal with the purchase. Beyond that I've got..

- weathertech side window deflectors
- center console tray insert
- found the bed had some holes already drilled for an optional accessory, so I purchased some light mounts to hold a flag in the bed.
- teaching myself how to wrap interior pieces before I do exterior. I need to add the bronze to the rest of the chrome trim on the interior.
- 5 or 10% ceramic tint and windshield strip. 80% full windshield ceramic tint.
- full matte black American flag decal on back window.
- removed the front air dam
- Matte Black plasti dipped badges
- Ronin .50 cal antenna
- Baja Kits Leveling Kit
-18x9 -12mm Method NV in bronze
-33x12.5r18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers

It's a must have, I couldn't find a dam thing in my center console before I added it.  Mine was kind of a loose fit (maybe 1/4"), so I added little pieces of rubber to edges, and now it doesn't rock back and fourth when I'm driving.

That’s why I bought the ones on eBay it was about 21 dollars and it’s double sided tape that holds it in place

Which link did you use?  Do you mind sharing?  I have a 2020, so I have smart key up front, but none on the rear handles.  So I need to buy both

Ok mine is a custom with no smart key but they do sell with the hole let me see if I find one

Where'd you order the window flag from? How was the install?

    • Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-
    • Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.     
    • I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
    • I do too. I’ll never be stuck again 😂
    • It has happened to me a few times. I carry a jumpstart-tire inflator with me.
