Update on my progress today.  Something I expected to be delivered tomorrow actually arrived today, which allowed me to continue my work on the molle panel.  I will be working on routing the electrical this weekend.

Where did you get the third brake light cover and do you know if you can get them for the lights with the cameras.

I can not say for sure about the cameras. I got all of them on americantrucks.com

On my 09 sierra i had a tote that fit in front of the bench like it was made for it, but it was to big for my 21. So after looking for a solution i came up with this, its a husky bin fits pretty spot on sits a little low so i added foam to the bottom until i find something else. Been working great for months, and today i added some bungee to hold stuff in place.

I installed my VSE catch can on my 2024 LZ0. Now it will keep the oil out of my charge air cooler.

How many miles on it?

 

Was yours using oil? 

 

Did you take off the inner cooler and clean it out and if you did how much oil did you find?

 

thank you

My LZ0 has 1,200 miles since November when I bought it. My previous LM2's that I've had, had considerable oil in the turbo outlet. Demon Works on YouTube has a video where he poured oil out of his charge air cooler. The design of the crankcase ventilation and having it routed back into the turbo and then the charge air cooler will condense the vapors back into a liquid, this collecting in the charge air cooler.

Just washed up the sierra, got the wheels polished up. Just order a mini cradle for it with traction bars and kicker bars with mirrored stainless steel layovers from Papis Garage

Bought it... technically yesterday.  CPO 2022 RST Z71 Duramax with 11k miles on it.  Replaced my 2013 Avalanche Black Diamond.

Well, not so much a mod, but three weeks ago, I finally towed something with my 2020 Custom Trail Boss for the first time.  My son and I made a trip from Eastern PA up to NH to pick up a project car.  (2014 Caprice PPV former police car)  We left at 2:30am, paid for the car, picked up the reserved u-haul trailer, then went to the maintenance building and got the car.  Loaded it up and headed back home, arriving around 12:30am.  Way too much traffic on that entire trip!

 

The 5.3/6L80E in my truck did better that I expected towing a 4000+ pound car.  The surge brakes on the trailer were a little weird, but I got used to them.  I was able to maintain highway speeds without problem, but once I got on Route 15 in CT with the steeper hills and sharper turns (and construction narrowed lanes....) it was putting more pressure on the truck.  In tow haul mode, it was really winding up the RPMs coming down a few hills.  But all in all, I was impressed as it did much better than I expected.  That said, I understand why people who tow frequently get a 2500 with the diesel engine.

 

As for mods, I picked up some aftermarket fog lights for my Trail Boss which have cool looking daytime running lights and turn signals built into them.  Unfortunately, they are not "plug and play" as advertised.  Well, they are plug and play with my factory fog lights for the fog light functionality, but I'm going to have to tap into a few wires to get the DRLs and turn signals working in them.  Maybe somebody makes a harness that I could buy?

    • Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning. 
    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
