Finished my black badge inlays by wrapping up the tailgate Sierra badge (AT4’s we’re done previously).

Also check out the Gatortrax. It is the same cover and usually runs a little cheaper. I bought the Gatortrax and the inner packaging even said Retrax. Also get bed pocket covers.
Thank you! I did not know that.

Like the idea of using grip tape to make the lettering on the side step red.  What kind of grip tape did you use and how has it been holding up? I was thinking about using plasti dip before I saw this. 

The grip tape is on the steps themselves.... I used a red vinyl used in wrapping cars for the Sierra part underneath.

Finally got around to putting the black and white American flag gel coated decals on. Wasn’t raining today so I slapped them on. I like em’... if you end up plasti dipping and then putting these on like I did you should know that they actually cover the little gap from the red to the chrome.... so if you end up not liking the plasti then when you peel it it will take off the decal.

Cleaned her up a bit after blacking out most of the chrome:

I'm still debating on whether to do the front bowtie and Z71 emblems...

Installed the following: Chevy Offroad running boards, Bak Revolver x4, Rough Country grill lights (wired to high beam fuse as switch), Putco Blade LED tailgate light.  Painted the bow tie in the bed (northsky blue), installed BD Trim domed black tailgate lettering.   Have black badges coming for tailgate and hood badges.

Hardest part was getting to 1/3 fender wing screws on each side. Absolute nightmare and had to get my girlfriend and her tiny hands get to them lol. 
 

And yes, I used the gen5diy harness so everything was plug and play

Haha I’ll keep the small hands tip in mind when I do mine. What grill is that?

Quick question for those who did the auto fogs / all lights on fogs with hi-beams on mod - does your fogs come on with parking lights too?

I think those are 2 different mods.

If you want the fogs in automatically (and stay on with the high beams) do the auto fog method. If you still want the dogs to act normal EXCEPT that they’ll remain on with the high beams, so the high beam one.

I want the fogs to automatically turn on when low beams come on automatically. Basically I want to be able to leave my lights set to “auto” and the fogs to automatically activate once my lights cut on in low light / rainy conditions instead of having to manually turn them on each time. I also want them to stay on with high beams. Do you happen to have a link to the part I would need for this?

If you’re lucky enough to have a radio shack near you all you need is a diode. Costs $1.50 for 2.

 

If not, then this is what you need

This activates then with the parking lights. They specifically state to not use the headlight wire for this mod though I don’t know why.

Is there any way to get them to come on automatically without activating them with the parking lights?

    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
