Installed some custom fit mudflaps on my AT4 today. First product I’ve ever bought In a long time that actually fit the first time. 
 

Also did my side exit exhaust too to go with the Magnaflow muffler. Excuse the dirty truck-it’s winter in the mountains. And the crooked photos. If someone wants to fix that go ahead!!06B24426-EF39-40D9-9715-2C1D551A3214.jpeg.756b344e79eea15df00ee3e4f72eaeb9.jpeg

Just picked up the Denali 2500 from Pittsburgh custom wraps. Had GSWF clear paint protection film applied to front bumper. Color matched Vinyl wrapped door handles, chrome trim on mirrors, front and rear logos, upper and lower front grille trims and fender badges. Chrome delete around driver and passenger side windows with matching black vinyl wrap. Working on removing side and rear chrome lettering. 3" superlift with
22" wheels should be done within next month hopefully. Looking at some performance/tuning mods in the future. Waiting to see what Banks will have to offer. 272cc076f9cddb9c8bc590dd321d0c46.jpg0ed8eab13ae5b587416966ed354e8f57.jpgfbe3c60d16e3312600b4522ab90348cb.jpg15a53f7666a9d29e50cd2864cda71fb7.jpg33e7f14ecbdbd769f11bf338f2750a81.jpgffb3ba00369f2bee60ecc1ed2de15fb2.jpgff201b5db3b0f70e541774b1547da885.jpg

Doozer- The truck looks awesome man. Really like how that white turned out. I got my suspension/wheels and tires done. Gonna do my chrome delete next week (black truck/black vinyl).

Finished up the CST 4” lift over the weekend. A bit of a chore to get it done but love it and drives great. Took about 14 hours on and off with helpers. The cSt kit didn’t raise the rear enough with the 2” blocks so I will be raising it more with 3” blocks tomorrow. As it sits, the front is about 1” higher than the back. I have a heavy slide-out in the bed with tools so it drops it about 3/4”. The blocks will bring it back up.

Today I had new fuel sledge rims (20”x 9” 20mm offset) wrapped in 37”x12.5” BFG K02. Very minor rubbing on the front of the wheel well liners which I took care of with zip ties. The space between the mud flap and tire at full lock was a little tight so I heated them up and molded back a bit.

I’ll take more picks once I bring the rear up. I included one pic of the lift before the wheels yesterday in my shop.

looks awesome. How much cutting/drilling was there with the CST?

They don't have any instructions posted on their website.

 

Cognito has more cutting than I am willing to do.

Thank you. I had to cut the back passenger cross member about 1” off the front side. The back drivers cross member needed a little more taken out to clear the diff. I compared the cognito and CST and the CST was a lot less with regard to cutting. Only two holes on each side of the LCA had to be drilled. I can send you the CST instructions if you like.

Readylift 3/2 sst kit with fox shocks
fuel blitz 20x9 +20 offset
37x12.50 20 nitto ridge grappler

Initially it rubbed the front felt liner and mud flap in the rear. It does rub the frame rail at full lock. I removed the lower valence just because. I trimmed the mud flap and was able to bend the brackets in the front behind the felt liner enough to eliminate any rubbing.

Very nice, more pics please.!

 

I plan to buy the same kit, just waiting for the Fox elite shocks w/4 inch left to come out.

I just put the 3” blocks in the back. Perfect ride height now.

Considering at the same kit. How does the truck ride compared to stock?

    • Looks tight. Not a lot of working room. Hows yous knuckles?
    • Spot on. The government makes ridiculous mandates, and this causes manufacturers to jump through hoops for every TENTH of a MPG. Main reason quality is in the toilet and prices are in the stratosphere.   The gov't tightened the MPG requirements so much 5 years ago that the only way manufacturers could meet these absolutely ridiculous numbers was to go all EV. Hence the push.     Nobody hates good MPG, Atlas - nobody is "whining". Your side has that trait all locked up. What a stupid argument attempt!   What I particularly hate is the government meddling in the free market system. Had this system been allowed to work as designed and intended by our Founders, cars and trucks would be hitting numbers that would blow our minds, all while costing 30% LESS. Not only that, but engines could probably hit 150k miles again without needing major internal surgery.   My forty year old Ford 302 has 312k on it. Wonder what changed?🤔
    • 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?
