Nice... After your first post and providing the link, I purchased the same.

I am quite impressed. We'll have to see how long they hold up. If they don't, I'll either get the OEM wheels powder coated or go with an aftermarket.

But for now, these accomplish what I was wanting.

 

Mine is a lease, so these fit the bill perfectly!    So far I've had no problems installing them.   I had to take out the center squeeze retainer.  You'll see that when you get them.  Mine fit better without them.  

 

Funny thing is, one of them had very faint scratches on them from shipping.  I wrote the seller and he told me that he would send a replacement.  By then I decided they weren't really noticeable.  

 

He sent me not just one, but a whole new set!!   So I don't know what I'm doing with them yet....but they are perfect with no scratches.   Maybe sell them here???

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

I matched the front and rear GMC emblems to the paint. 

 

And I had to get a new tire at 2,481 miles because of a stupid nail in the sidewall.

 

Debating on taking the Sierra off the tailgate and Plastidipping the chrome on the AT4 emblems.

I'd debadge the AT4 emblems and the Sierra but that is just me. The GMC can stay as I think the multi-pro tailgate would look naked without it

They are Firewire LED's. I am a volunteer firefighter. They are my response lights. The rear light is Blue/White and the front is Blue/Blue. There is a 2 head LED in the windshield to the right of the rearview mirror.

Built custom box, main goal was to retain storage. Non Bose system and now the cabin's audio is filled versus hearing audio beating from the doors. Plenty of low bass, enough to vibrate the mirrors and seats.

Thanks! I just tapped into the drl. No need to remove the grille just the plastic air intake cover under the front of the hood to access and run the wiring.

 

I wanted to get these installed to get rid of the old ones I had that didn't look go is and half burnt out (different lights then these), so I just used zip ties for now but will fab some kind of brackets eventually. But this is holding up great!

Shout out to Atelliott89..Your tip, pointers and pictures helped encourage me to complete my grille lights.  Thanks man! I put them in the top channel of the grille due to the hood deflector. Wired it to a fused relay and a wireless remote switch (NC) and programmed to homelink button 2. Turns on with ignition and can toggle off with homelink.

Before and After. GM Part number 84993582 Trail Boss Lift kit installed on a 2021 Short Box Z71 3.0 Duramax. Currently running stock wheels and tires. 275/60/r20. I think the After picture is skewed causing it to look like it's dragging a bit. I'll get to see it tomorrow when I get home.

I know its too soon to know right now, but I'm curious to know how much the lift alters you MPG's.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      Sugar Bears 2015 GMC Terrain SLE-2 2.4 AWD

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
