Got the cheap Tiger T1 tonneau cover and I’m impressed! Only took 15 min to install and is surprisingly sturdy.

I have the same one, surprisingly good quality for the price and does the job, keeps everything dry and held up great last winter.

Something interesting is going on with the forum. I don't see any of my posts from yesterday. If, somehow, this is a repost, please ignore it.

For Christmas I got the GM tailgate gap filler. I didn't take pics. It is a very easy install. You only need a T-20 torx bit driver/socket/etc, microfiber rag, and 15-20 minutes.

I also got black plug nuts and wheel locks. These look much better than the chrome lugs nuts do on the black 18" Trail Boss wheels. The black plugs nuts are also a bit longer so they're the same length as the wheel locks.

I also got black Z71 badges for the front fenders. I don't have pics of them yet due to being out of Goo Gone. I ordered a bottle from Amazon, and will have this done in the next few days.

What keypad did you have installed? Is it a GM product?

I have the gm accessory keypad. Installed by the dealer so no idea on the details. Here's the receipt for item code reference.

Just had my shell installed. I created a whole new thread for canopy pictures and questions since I couldn't find one when I was shopping.

This is a Leer 100XR. See my thread for full details.

Installed my Lasfit LED high beam bulbs. Already had the low beams so this completed the set. Very bright and an easy install.

Installed the gm full coverage floor mat in the back of my crew cab. I have the under seat storage which had to remove so the mat fit underneath. The mat then had to be trimmed along the back for the storage to fit back in. It was all pretty straight forward and they look great. It's already helped clean the mess from little kids in the back.

My only issue is a gap between the storage and the mat where crud can gather. I'll find something later to make a gasket with.

Since I had a 10mm deep socket on an extension handy from removing three jack, I used that and a hammer to get the joints to seat really well. I don't think you can do the joints adequately by hand.

There's also a carpet screw on the drivers side of the storage unit that I had to drill a hole in the mat for, sorry no pic.

Do yourself a favor and buy this under seat storage from DU-HA. It is not only larger but eliminates that gap. It's worth the cost.

+1 on the Duha.  Best investment yet.  I had to trim mine a bit in the same spots because of the mats.   I can fit so much stuff in this thing it's insane.  As you can see all my first responder and safety gear on my side, on the other are cables, tow straps, rope, tie downs, tools......

    • 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?

    • Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
