I moved the shovel to the to the other M.A.P.S. bed panel and mounted a WaterPort to the passenger side panel.  Much to my surprise, when mounted it sits darn near perfectly to the panel and fender.  It pressurized nicely and has held up well so I'm pleased with it thus far.

 

The truck is getting very close to how I imagined it, I just have to finish the winch.

I've seen that video and its very simplistic, clean, and well done.  I also found where an individual used a hidden winch mount from the prior generation silverado/sierra and was able to mount it to h

Went to Colorado a couple weeks ago and made some big upgrades before leaving. I needed to get my tent up higher so I could close my tonneau cover. I used 1.5x.120" DOM tubing for the new bed rails. They are mounted to the stake pockets, not the bed side so they can be removed with 4 bolts.

 

After a lot of arguing with myself I used the stock running board brackets and 1.75x.120" DOM for a set of rock sliders. This is not a rock crawler but I did bang them on Black Bear Pass and they survived with no body damage.

I found a "water proof" outlet to for the AC unit.

 

Made a small panel that I can turn on lights from the back or front with my up-fitter switches.

 

Then fabbed up a mount for the AC unit.

Pretty sure any 5000BTU window AC unit will work.

Not a cheap option by any means, but I love my FabFours Matrix bumper with prerunner. It affords me 2x 3” cubes on each side (2pair) plus a 30” light bar but is also able to mount a winch. I mounted an open road 13500 winch. Any winch you mount has to relocate the control box if you have a 30” light bar installed but it’s really not that big a deal. I actually prefer having the control box in the engine bay, it’s much higher and I’ve had my whole bumper underwater/mud several times. The control box is the weak point so far as “ipx67 ipx68” is concerned. My box in the engine bay never gets wet, I’d have to screw up big to accomplish that with a 3.5” lift and 35” tires on it.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That should answer the maximum depth difference between the stock and the PPE so its not hugely lower. As to the PML pan, they don't make any claims that it fits the L8T with the same transmission and in fact leave their information confusing, however on the surface it says "for Duramax" and so its hard to say. I know a while back and not sure which brand it was that specifically stated that the extra capacity pan that particular company made did NOT fit the gas version.

      Installed Bilstein 5100's on my 2024 2500HD - Worth it - VIDEO + GIVEAWAY Inside

      By fondupot · Posted

      There are several versions of the 5100's. Some for stock height, some for leveled, some for lifted.    Side note. I finally had a chance to tow with my 30' gooseneck with about 10,000 lbs of material on it this past week. Hands down the 5100's made the trailer towing much more stable and comfortable. I even had 10 cmu blocks in the bed. What a difference over the stock shocks.

      According to PML, the stock pan is 4.3" deep - (PML info): Dimensions: at deepest area, PML pan is 7 inches, stock pan is 4.3 inches    PPE is 5.4" so roughly 1.1" deeper than stock

      I had not realized that PPE has come out with a version of a cast aluminum oil pan specific to being able to fit onto the 10L1000 with the L8T engine sometime this spring. I was doubting that anyone would come out with something beyond what Dorman had in more of a direct factory pan swap. I see from one comment that is on the PPE site that they found the pan to be tighter to install then the factory unit and having to flex the exhaust down to fit it. I didn't lookup any specs if they have any as per how much lower it hangs but as it holds more oil and has fins outside the pan it would no doubt hang a certain amount lower.    I looked back at the site and they do have some depth measurements to get a rough comparison to the factory pan total height or hang down if you will at the front and rear of the pan so that will give a good idea how much further down this pan would end up being for ground clearance issues.    2024-2026 GM 6.6L Gas 10L1000 Heavy-Duty Cast Transmission Pan – Pacific Performance Engineering

      I'm in constant amazement over the number of people that do oil maintenance by how they feel, what they were told, what materials cost, what brand A claims vs brand B.     Come to think of it, this behavior isn't exclusive to oil. 🤔 They drive this way too. 😬   There is a 20 plus page thread on BITOG on Mobil 1 Advanced Clean vs Valvoline Restore and Protect it would be amusing if it were not so........humanly pitiful.   Last Sunday we were are sitting at services and listening to a speaker talk about Jesus parable of the wide and narrow gates and he said something that hadn't dawned on me but totally fit the way people in general are about just about everything. He said there are so few people on the narrow path leading to a good reward not because the the narrow gate was hidden or hard to find but because the wide gate leading to a bad end it so darn easy and uncomplicated to follow!!!
