A street tire on a “trail” boss?

Haha

I knew that coming !!

It's actually mud and snow rated.

But yeah Love the big truck look but don't like the roar of all terrain or mud terrain tires.

Spend 99% of my time running up and down the highway.

That explains it.

My 6.2 always shows well below 210 but my 5.3 shows higher. However, the actual temp is closer to 193 on the 5.3. I think maybe the analog gauges read different than the digital ones?

Anyone with a digital dash and a 5.3? What does your temp show?

Installed my Road Armor Spartan bumper today. Gotta figure out what lights to put on it now.

Does the install require trimming the fender liner? I'm looking into the HDX Bandit but dunno if i wanna do the cutting

Did you take advantage of their 50% off sale?  I ordered the front and rear stealth bumpers and I’m just waiting for them to ship.  I plan to have them Cerakoted.

Yes the fender liner needs to be trimmed. Honestly it wasn't difficult at all and can be secured to the frame with clips.

ARE Z2 with all the fixings. 

 

Lost the bed cam and rear-view cam, but overall VERY happy!

 

The next fight is going to be to get the ****ing dealer to install the remote locks.

I got the 35% off and free shipping. It was slightly cheaper than the 50% deal. But since you got both, it totally makes sense to do the 50%.

 

Took about 6 weeks to get mine. For the price, it was worth the wait.

Installed the Xtang Trifecta 2.0 soft tonneau. I was debating on so many of them I wasn’t sure what to do. I’ve had good experiences with these in the past and I needed to get my bed covered so this is the route I went. 
 

Pros: easy install, easy operation and affordable 

 

Cons: needs adjusting to allow tailgate to auto drop, doesn’t cover bed rail holes completely but it isn’t a deal breaker, could be a little wider. 
 

I’ll post pics soon.

I think it's best to not cover the bed holes so you can still install roof rack if you want one to go to the front of the cab

I have the same one and having had the GM branded ones this has by far has the best clamping system to date, i also had to do some slight adjustments to allow the auto drop to function properly.

Would you mind to share where you got the reflective lettering?

Camper toppers are so dang handy and personally I love the way they look. Your truck looks great. Now if I can find a used one on Craigslist...

    • The BORA 3/8" spacers arrived yesterday along with the extended lug nuts. I got the front wheels changed out today, but was overheated and covered in sweat so bad, I figured getting both front wheels done was a win, and took a cool shower. Hopefully, I'll go out tomorrow morning before it gets into the 80+ temps and do the backs. After getting the first wheel snugged up, I backed out one of the lug nuts then hand turned to count threads. I believe I stopped counting around 12-13, so I think I'm good there.    
    • My fullsize truck is averaging over 26mpg so I'm pretty happy with the increased fuel economy targets. When I had my gas Silverado (2020 5.3) it was averaging 21. Again, for a fullsize truck, that's very different from the 12-15 these things used to get 30 years ago.   Whine all you want, increased MPG is a good thing.
    • That is a fair point, and I think an OBD-first proof is probably the right next step. I agree that the value is not the hardware box by itself. The marketable part would be the software: always-on capture, baseline learning, event reduction, system-specific reports, and alerts. Also agreed that if an OBD device is always plugged in and has local storage, it should not miss the event in the same way that a scanner plugged in after the fact would. The only thing I would not want to assume yet is that an ELM327-class device gives all the late-GM data needed at the rate needed. Standard OBD live data, DTCs, freeze frame, Mode 6, VIN, and calibration information are definitely the right starting point. GDS2 also proves that a lot of useful ECM data can be viewed through the DLC without needing a DTC first. The question I need to test is whether the data needed for a useful GM V8 event report is actually available through the DLC, and at a useful sample rate: - misfire counts / roughness by cylinder - AFM/DFM state - oil pressure and oil temperature - fuel trims - voltage / reset context - U-codes and communication events - calibration / software information - whether these are standard PIDs, enhanced DIDs, Mode 6 data, GDS2-only data, or not available So I think the right benchmark is: 1. Build the OBD-only version first. 2. Keep it plugged in and logging locally. 3. Compare it against GDS2 / freeze frame / HP Tuners or another higher-end logger. 4. Measure which parameters are available and at what update rate. 5. Only justify ECM-side hardware if it captures useful evidence the OBD version cannot. So you may be right: the consumer product might simply be an always-plugged-in OBD event recorder with much better reporting. A question for you: when you say ELM327 devices can already deliver all the data needed, do you mean generic OBD Mode 01 data only, or GM enhanced data as well? For a useful GM V8 report, would generic OBD data be enough, or would you expect the tool to include enhanced items like misfire by cylinder, AFM/DFM state, oil pressure/oil temp, U-codes, and calibration information?
