I did a search on here as much as I could and read through Sotally Tober's build and now was wondering if many have swapped out the lower front bumper off of an High Country onto an RST?  My main reason I want to do it is for the same reason Sotally Tober did his, I want to paint it white and completely change the look of the front of the truck, it looks killer!  Just asking if anyone has any real good details on how it difficult it is to do or of there is an easier way to get that lower bumper trim onto an RST front bumper.  Thank you!

Make sure you get PPF put on ASAP and you will be golden.  Wish I could elaborate on the installation, as I had Black Jack Speed shop here in San Antonio do the install.

I'll have to do some more digging.  I was hoping to just be able to buy the PN:84176756 (Skid Plate they call it) and mount it to the existing bumper but not sure if that will work or not.  Might be worth just spending the $105 to find out!

Unfortunately, it wont.  You need to buy both pieces of the lower bumper off a High Country.  The shop purchased directly from our local dealership parts department after getting the VIN off of a High Country (to look up the parts) on the lot.

That's kind of what I figured would need to happen.  I absolutely love the look of your rig but if I'm going to end up with $500-750 into that lower bumper, I might just wait to get a high country or LTZ next go around!   Thank you!

Thanks.  It was about $700.00 when everything was said and done.  Totally worth it in my opinion as it changes the entire front look of the truck.

Do you have the part numbers to make this happen ?

      Ac not keeping up

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
