Add the Bakflip MX4. Looks much better than the soft fold for sure.

Got my truck back from the shop with a prototype 3rd brake light. Space for 5 Baja designs S2s. Going to swap it out in a couple weeks with a powder coated production version that will have an antenna mount built in. Will make for a killer chase/dust light. Has 4 red LEDs for brake lights and 2 whites for cargo lights. If you're interested evil manufacturing is the shop that's going to be selling them.

Nice. You have any pictures with it on and from diff angles?

Installed some bullring tie down anchors. Nothing extravagant I know but every little bit makes it more mine lol.

Added Borla S-type exhaust. Sounds pretty decent from what I could hear over the rain lol. Not as loud as I was really hoping though. Of course, after I got it home I had to go under and tighten everything up cause they apparently didnt do a good job. How far should the tips be sticking out from the bumper or should they be level. If they should be level, I guess Ill have to go loosen everything back up to see if I can get them to move.

Got bored so I traded my '21 AT4 3.0 for this '22 LTZ 3.0 today. Ok, so I didn't get bored. I got more than I paid for the base AT4. This LTZ has everything but HUD, sunroof, and mirror camera (which I'm fine without those options).

I also swapped the S&B intake and the PPE turbo resonator delete from my AT4 onto this tonight. The S&B went on a lot easier on this truck for some reason. The hardest part about the swap on the AT4 was removing the OEM intake tube. This one almost fell out. It seems like there is more room around the rear of the engine in the refresh.

The picture of the OEM turbo resonator is how much oil is in the intake after 48 miles.

What effects have you seen from the COI and resonator delete?

More turbo noise, a slight seat of the pants power increase, and about 1 mpg on the AT4 these came off of. I've not driven the LTZ since I put these on tonight.

Recently changed up my stance. Bottom pic is the before. It was lowered 1-1.5” on 22s using Belltech adjustable lowering struts in the front and drop shackles in the rear. Top pic is current with a 6” RC lift w/ Vertex shocks and 35” tires.

I like the look Both ways. Just wondering how is the ride both ways? Riding stock on my 2019 Sierra 5.3 Crewcab is a little stiff and bouncy if you ask me.

I added a 12vDC power outlet in the driver side center console pocket. It still blows my mind that GM removed them from the truck. I will probably put on one the passenger side as well.

Changed out the standard red and chrome emblems for plain black. The body shop that did it for me didnt even bother to charge. Savings-$50 not having chrome ones anymore - priceless lol.

    • Yes.   Yes.   We might be intermingling ideas with the term 'severity', in one of my past vehicles it could pull up DTC via the vehicles own user interface, at any given time when one would do this there would be an assortment of codes that were 'trivial' including 'communication' issues. This would generate a bunch of, potentially false alerts or some many that they would get ignored. Which you mentioned earlier.    You also mention several things that might be redundant with the vehicles own systems or indicators: The truck has an oil pressure gauge, monitoring it via this other system wouldn't be a priority except in comparison to other values or if there is an actual oil pressure problem.   Same thing for miss-fires or other problems, the MIL already signals the operator to an issue...   ...to the point about what one wants to see first, if there is a miss fire detected, I want to see miss fire counts or fuel trims first, if I have an oil pressure problem I want to see the oil pressure first. So, perhaps the 'systems' that are showing abnormalities are what gets displayed first.   I think your device is what connects at the OBD port, ease of use for the consumer, it could still have a 'pass-through' port for a second scanner, computer, etc.   Yes.   Based on my comment above, if an error appears, the report would be more specific to the system having an error.
    • Saturday 87 was 2.98 at the local meijer when I filled up my car with 93.
    • I like the idea.  I thought about putting a deposit a few years ago when they first dropped.  I still want to drive one and have inquired about doing this with them, like a ride and drive event they said they are coming but it hasnt happened even with them built in Indiana.  
    • That's a tough spot to be in, I personally would question spending 1/2 the book value on a repair vs. selling it as-is.    Presuming you own it out right, sell it for 10k and have a down payment for a replacement truck, or spend 10k on the one you already have...   I still think there is a cheaper transmission out there via recyclers, aftermarket or rebuild. (Cheaper than 5k for the unit)
    • Sadly, there's a drought of good 92-95 4.3 cars at junkyards in the area otherwise I would have gone fishing for parts. Not that they don't come up, there's just nothing good in the yards right now.   I tore into the intake yesterday evening, easier than I thought, and I might have this problem licked for cheap. Two of the intake studs came up with the bolt on removal, no big deal but that's why it looks funny with studs only on one side.   There's pooled gas on both sides of the plenum. Highlights boxed in green. Picture-right side has an obviously split pressure line from rubbing on the #5 injector nylon line. #5's line is worn in that spot but not all the way through. Passenger side intake (picture left), not sure, but I think the pressure regulator is hosed. Rebuilt spiders don't come with the pressure and return hoses so I'll need to replace those no matter what. A pressure regulator is $30 so I'll try that and if I end up having to swap the whole spider, it was $30. I'll be grinning ear to ear if that's all I need.   Parts arrive Tuesday.   Sure enough the shop was here before. That's a new gasket. Vacuum lines and wiring are a tangled mess, I sorted that out last night as well. Spent about an hour just picking up general slack and shoddy reassembly around the engine bay. Cheek-pokered the battery tray, got it all cleaned up. Sometimes things just need a little elbow grease and a few minutes of time to be right again.
