They’re not mud flaps. This thread labeled them such for lack of a better term. Their intent was to promote the aerodynamics for the truck....they look hideous and probably add .01% fuel savings.

but he's removed the front mud flaps. Legitimate flaps ahah

Give a 14 y/o $4 worth of oracal satin black vinyl and 15 minutes, this is what he comes up with.

Cleaner look without the "granpa" mud flaps hanging down.

Are these available to buy yet?

I'm not sure they are the OP's design or not, but I got mine here.

WAY too much money for what you get, but I *needed* the back ones.  I added an AMP bed step and depending on the installation hit either the running board or rear Aero flap.  I removed the flaps, but couldn't stand the look of the holes so I bought these.

 

I only used the rear, so if anyone needs just the front pcs, I may sell those...

These are $10 for 2 on sharptruck.com perfect option for the money... all Chevy colors...they are called fender plugs and they’re made to put in the mud flap hole

These don't work on the rear.  The rear holes are oblong slots....

Mine are all oblong holes and the fit good. As a matter of fact that picture is of the rear

Cool.  I couldn't gauge the size.  

 

The website says they are for the front only.  I've already spent the money and installed the others, so no crying for me now, but I wish I had seen these.

Lol I didn’t read that...thankfully not paying attention didn’t bite me in the butt. They do fit a little tight in the rear but still fit.

    • Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/        
    • UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update  
    • GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.  
    • Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.
    • I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
