Those of you with aftermarket exhaust and DFM, does it sound any different when DFM kicks in? Anything like AFM of the older trucks, with a helicopter/choppy sound? My understanding is DFM can't be deactivated currently.

Can be deactivated with an aftermarket device made by Range or by putting the truck in tow haul or one gear lower than the top gear. So L9 or L7 depending on the tranny you have.

The Range website says it's currently not compatible with 2019+ 6.2L with the 10 speed. Has this changed?

I’ve read that it’s hit and miss with that combo. So I don’t know....

Anyone know roughly what % the factory tint is on the rear windows?  Window stickers says "Deep tinted rear glass" but no details.  I want to get it matched to the front and want to know roughly what I should ask for.  Thanks guys.

I'd guess 30 but tint shops should have a meter to check

25-30% That's what my tint guy tells me. Actually he tints them a shade darker in the front and due to the amount of light that enters the windshield the front and back then match.

Do you not have this on your glass?  

 

Rear side windows 20%, rear glass 22% +-3%.  Easier to read from the inside hence the reason it is backwards.  Excuse my dirty truck, going to wash it after work today lol.

My tint guy figured 30, so I went ahead and had him to 20% over the side/back windows and 20% on my driver/pass side.  Came out awesome!  Front/Rear bumpers are getting color matched when I get home off this business trip!

My guy had a match to the rear but looked darker, so we went a shade lighter. Which I’m fine with because I don’t need the hassle with police. I have ceramic tint, not sure if that makes a difference

Yeah that's the biggest thing, I don't want any cop problems but also hate the transparent blue-fishbowl front glass.  The rear window color I'm happy with so a close match should be perfect.  May have to have the eye doc write me up for my light sensitivity...

I have to get tint on mine. Previous truck had it and loved it. I washed mine and bought the jlt catchcan and x15 tonneau. Looking at magnaflows muffler pipe replacement and with airaid mit short setup or c&s cai system. Might ditch the steps and mudflaps and put the cap replacements on in place. Would love to colormatch the plastic fender surrounds and the mirror caps too. 330265b14e0b15fcb3eedb5f453a6a55.jpg

Cleaned and protected the interior that a lot of people love to hate on (including myself at times).

I have to say it’s held up pretty well over the past 20 months. I’m in and out of it 10 times a day for short trips. Plus I eat lunch in it a lot, and have little tornado kids in the back seat so it’s never clean. The only things that have broken are trim pieces the dealer broke when doing the rear window.

    • I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY
    • I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.
    • 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.  
    • 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.
