Washed the truck, then finally converted over to the black exhaust cutouts in the rear bumper. Sorry the picture quality is poor. Just snapped a pic with the cell phone right after finishing the install.925b33f000c20511f39eb9f56a99d06e.jpg

Black exhaust looks clean!

Thanks. I miss home. It's been 12 years since I lived there. I just moved to San Diego. Originally from Salt Lake. You?

I put some new wheels on my truck because the morons at the dealership overtightened my lug nuts to the point of breaking.  Had to torch the old wheels off so I grabbed these:

Does this one (Adams Graphene) come with the applicator?  Thanks

Looks like almost all Adam’s products are on the Black Friday sale on Amazon. Picked up the Graphene tire dressing and their complete Graphene paint coating kit for less than $100. Probably gonna use the coating kit on my boat. But my truck tires will look good!

Not the individual bottles. I think they sell a kit version that does

Ordered some BFGs as well this week, Went with some 285/65’s.   Wanted to go wide, but tall and skinny seem to work well in snow.

This time I am keeping it the stock size. Maybe next time I will go up to the 275/65’s (1” taller). Ended up being $200ish cheaper this route too

Are you currently running some 35x11.5 ridge grapplers?

Ah, gotcha. Let us know how they compare when you get the KO2s. I have the 275/60 ridge grapplers ,and I would love to add the trail boss lift and the 285/65 KO2s. But I’m nervous about the ride quality with the bigger LT tire. So any feedback would be appreciated!

    • Looks tight. Not a lot of working room. Hows yous knuckles?
    • Spot on. The government makes ridiculous mandates, and this causes manufacturers to jump through hoops for every TENTH of a MPG. Main reason quality is in the toilet and prices are in the stratosphere.   The gov't tightened the MPG requirements so much 5 years ago that the only way manufacturers could meet these absolutely ridiculous numbers was to go all EV. Hence the push.     Nobody hates good MPG, Atlas - nobody is "whining". Your side has that trait all locked up. What a stupid argument attempt!   What I particularly hate is the government meddling in the free market system. Had this system been allowed to work as designed and intended by our Founders, cars and trucks would be hitting numbers that would blow our minds, all while costing 30% LESS. Not only that, but engines could probably hit 150k miles again without needing major internal surgery.   My forty year old Ford 302 has 312k on it. Wonder what changed?🤔
    • 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?
