First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

I got tired of my front end looking like it had been sandblasted. The only complaint I have of the truck is the weak paint on the front bumper and grill. So, to remedy this, I installed the Ecoological front bumper and grill covers. The grill cover was a breeze. The bumper cover took some extra work removing parts to get the ends on properly. All in all, it took me about 2 hours working by myself while watching the 5-year-old as well. With me having the 3.0 Duramax, I had to use a trim took to get the top piece of trim off the bumper as I couldn't get to the backside of its clips. Unless you are looking or know what to look for, you really can't tell they are on there.

 

They are a little pricey but cheaper than a repaint. They are injection molded plastic with the color running throughout. I looked into having them wrapped in white vinyl, but I would have had to disassemble the entire front end so they wouldn't have to use a knife on a painted surface. I am going to have the front wings wrapped to get them covered up and protected.

I like that. I thought about getting the grill cover in black when I was contemplating a black grill instead of getting a black grill.

I almost got the black ones for mine. The main reason I didn't is how tight it would fit around the bowtie and maybe show white.

Good point with the white especially.  Mine is dark gray and would maybe be ok.  Can you  see the original white behind the new cover around the bowtie much?

The white does not show through. It fits pretty tight around the emblem. I guess that is how they sell it as a "chrome cover" or color change.

 

I also would have gotten the black rear bumper cover too if I'd have gone that route.

Replaced the round, amber (yellow) marker lights I had installed with these actually amber rectangular marker lights. I think it looks much better. Plus I added my own vinyl on the "Chevrolet" stamped tailgate..

 

Truck is super dirty from last trail I was on so it doesn't stand out as well. But getting my truck detailed next weekend.

Ordered led’s to replace the license plate, reverse and turn signals. Will finally be all led on the truck. don’t understand why they wouldn’t do this from the start

Did the Lasfit turn signal bulbs work for you without any hyperblinking? I installed them on my 2021 RST and they hyperblinked.

Replaced the useless 22" fugly antenna with a 3.5" blue stubby (don't listen to AM/FM); installed WeatherTech side window deflectors; WeatherTech cocoa front and back floor mats; added a console organizer and tray; wrapped the entire front end (bumper to 4" above the Windshield, including the alpha pillars); added ceramic window tint on driver & front passenger windows; clear Ceramic film on the windshield; ordered AMP Power Steps and LUX white LED rock lights for the steps (they are magnetic and more than twice as bright as the lights AMP Research uses) to replace OEM chrome running boards; ordered A.R.E. LSII fiberglass Pacific Blue Metallic tonneau cover. Next on the list is a BedRug bed liner, But, now I gotta hit the Lottery - anybody know some lucky numbers?

I’ve had no issues with mine.  The one time they did hyperflash, I was sitting at a train with my signal on for a while.  Turned off the blinker, went back to normal.

These are the ones. They run white and flow down amber with the turn signal. Only wish was that they were brighter. You see them great at night, not as well in the daytime.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By richard wysong · Posted

      I had an 88 K1500 with a 5.7 that had those symptoms, I know totally different, it ended up being the ECM. Once you get the fuel system fixed if it still runs lousy you may want to investigate that. it didn't set any codes, stalled ,ran rough at times etc

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      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-

      OCI, not when but why?

      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.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      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.
