I swear the factory LED reverse lights are really powered by fireflies. So I fixed that issue yesterday. I made my own bracket out of aluminum and bolted it to the underside of the receiver through existing holes. I already know I'm going to change the bracket to make it into this shape '''''''''''''''''''''''''''\__/''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''. Then the lights will hang from the bracket. You'll never see the bracket because it will be behind the bumper, and its all completely removable. The only permanent mod is cutting the tip off the accessory firewall grommet behind the battery to run the wire inside for the switch. The bracket isn't painted yet because I was literally just mocking this up to see how it would work. I'll probably make the new bracket next weekend and get it painted black. 

 

I used Rough Country 6 inch slim line lights. They put out 2880 lumens. I may swap them to the 10 inch slim line lights that put out 4800 lumens when I make the new bracket.

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

I've decided I can't cover all the chrome because there is just too much of it.  It's around or under ever button or dial on the truck.  So Instead of the AC vents, I am going to wrap the area around the radio and call it day (other than wrapping the back seat handle trim just like the front).

Bought a new toy. Will being using it first on our older Tahoe for practice. Not sure when I’ll need it for the truck though. Hand washing and spray on wax during drying process is plenty right now.

2020 LT Duramax chrome and badge delete with 3M matte black wrap.  Mirror covers, rear bumper, front bumper and grill piece.

Looks good man. Is that 3m wrap on the grille and bumpers, or am I reading that wrong? I'm debating on how I want to remove the chrome on mine as well.

Yes 3M 2080 matte black.  Removed front and rear bumpers as well as the mirror caps to get a good tuck of the wrap to prevent it pulling back.  Bumpers come off without too much effort.  All the plastic end pieces on the bumpers come off pretty easy once the bumpers are removed.  Mirror cap clips are super fragile and easy to break.  

 

The tricky one is the center grill piece.  There are literally 40 small clips that hold the piece onto the main grill as well as reinforcing brackets.  Nothing too difficult just time consuming.  

 

Also the center piece on the grill needs inlays.  The radius is too tight and wide to use one piece of wrap.  If you've never wrapped it sounds harder than it is and actually makes it much easier and cleaner once done.  Sorry for the long description without pictures but if you go onto Youtube there are videos on how to wrap and do inlays.  If you use knifeless tape its even easier to do the inlays.  

 

The areas on either side of the bowtie are the places where the inlays go.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!
