Nothing noticeable. I don't rely on fog lights for night driving, the headlights on these are more than bright enough, but their website claims you only lose 3-9% of your light output. I would say that is pretty accurate.

Thank You for the info.

Added grille overlays to cover the black chrome. I was hesitant, but I am actually very impressed with the quality and how they fit the grille. Also painted the fog light surrounds and tinted the fog lights. Thinking I may need to change up the color on the GMC badge to red... thoughts?

I like that grill. Details please. I like the black chrome that comes stock though.

 

Edit: Didn’t see you had already posted the link. Have to do some thinking on this. Haha

No worries. I like that you can easily go back to stock if you wanted to. Attaches with 3M two sided tape, but fits really nicely.

Installed the Boost Auto 6Hi mod. Works. Will come in handy in this deer infested area that I live in.

Just installed Bilstein 5100's all the way around. Had them set to +1.1" in the front. Still need to put a few miles on them to get the true feel for them, but the ride seems much better. I also swapped out the 2" block in the back for a 1" so it is sitting much more level. I will get some pictures up tomorrow.

Did you have to change your shackle bolts when you put the shorter block in? Where you pick the 1" block from?

 

Thank you

I was able to re-use the factory U bolts with the shorter block. I picked up the 1" block from ebay, but it is made by supreme suspensions. https://www.ebay.com/itm/282178911788

Does the auto brights feature still work with this mod installed?

Yes. Also turns the fogs on. Now, it still acts stock too. So, if you manually turn your fogs on, the intellibeam does not function.

Thanks!  So your fogs are always on when brights are on,  and when brights are not on the fogs are still controlled by the fog button switch.

Correct. If you leave the fogs off and turn on the brights(with or without intellibeam) the fogs come on with the brights and go off with the brights. If you turn the fogs on before the brights, intellibeam doesn’t work just like stock but the fogs stay on with the brights.

Man. That reads confusing. Best $20 mod for the truck though. And easy.

That’s awesome.  Just ordered the Fleece Version “All Lights On” on Amazon.  Thanks for your help!

    • The BORA 3/8" spacers arrived yesterday along with the extended lug nuts. I got the front wheels changed out today, but was overheated and covered in sweat so bad, I figured getting both front wheels done was a win, and took a cool shower. Hopefully, I'll go out tomorrow morning before it gets into the 80+ temps and do the backs. After getting the first wheel snugged up, I backed out one of the lug nuts then hand turned to count threads. I believe I stopped counting around 12-13, so I think I'm good there.    
    • My fullsize truck is averaging over 26mpg so I'm pretty happy with the increased fuel economy targets. When I had my gas Silverado (2020 5.3) it was averaging 21. Again, for a fullsize truck, that's very different from the 12-15 these things used to get 30 years ago.   Whine all you want, increased MPG is a good thing.
    • That is a fair point, and I think an OBD-first proof is probably the right next step. I agree that the value is not the hardware box by itself. The marketable part would be the software: always-on capture, baseline learning, event reduction, system-specific reports, and alerts. Also agreed that if an OBD device is always plugged in and has local storage, it should not miss the event in the same way that a scanner plugged in after the fact would. The only thing I would not want to assume yet is that an ELM327-class device gives all the late-GM data needed at the rate needed. Standard OBD live data, DTCs, freeze frame, Mode 6, VIN, and calibration information are definitely the right starting point. GDS2 also proves that a lot of useful ECM data can be viewed through the DLC without needing a DTC first. The question I need to test is whether the data needed for a useful GM V8 event report is actually available through the DLC, and at a useful sample rate: - misfire counts / roughness by cylinder - AFM/DFM state - oil pressure and oil temperature - fuel trims - voltage / reset context - U-codes and communication events - calibration / software information - whether these are standard PIDs, enhanced DIDs, Mode 6 data, GDS2-only data, or not available So I think the right benchmark is: 1. Build the OBD-only version first. 2. Keep it plugged in and logging locally. 3. Compare it against GDS2 / freeze frame / HP Tuners or another higher-end logger. 4. Measure which parameters are available and at what update rate. 5. Only justify ECM-side hardware if it captures useful evidence the OBD version cannot. So you may be right: the consumer product might simply be an always-plugged-in OBD event recorder with much better reporting. A question for you: when you say ELM327 devices can already deliver all the data needed, do you mean generic OBD Mode 01 data only, or GM enhanced data as well? For a useful GM V8 report, would generic OBD data be enough, or would you expect the tool to include enhanced items like misfire by cylinder, AFM/DFM state, oil pressure/oil temp, U-codes, and calibration information?
