Has anyone added a stek dynoshield ppf to the front of their truck.  Living on a dirt road my 2017 and 2019 got tons of paint chips on the front bumper and grill.  The local shop will install a stek dynoshield for about $1k to cover the whole front bumper and grill.  Like that its a Hydrophobic and self healing paint protection film.  Looking for thoughts and if anyone has done.  Would like to keep this truck looking nice for a while.  Thanks

We are a PPF installer in Dallas, Texas and we use STEK DYNOshield on our installations - as it is the best film on the market right now. As you mentioned, it is a hydrophobic film and differs from the other films on the market with its manufacturing technology (impregnated vs. laminated). No other film on the market right now has the gloss and hydrophobicity of STEK DYNOshield. Here you can find some information about how it compares to other films on the market:

Hope this would be helpful. GM trucks' paint (especially Silverado's) is less resistant to chipping, compared to other makes (RAM and Ford). If your truck's wheel sticks out like the 2500 HD below, PPF is almost a must if you want to prevent chipping.  This truck came with only 200 miles on it, and before installing PPF, we found 8 to 10 chips on the side panels. Not surprising. The owner told us that he drove it on a gravel road several times in the first 200 miles.

      Acceptably cheap tires?

      By Atlas · Posted

      Looking at cheap tires for this project '95 Blazer. I'm seeing all sorts of brands I don't recognize. 235/75/15 are the size I'm after.   "Dirt cheap" (<$100/each) Starfire Solarus (AS or AT) Rocky Mountain HT2  Mohave HT Westlake SU318 H/T Laufenn G FIT Entry Level AS (yes, Entry Level is the name of the brand!)   "Somewhat cheap" (<$150/each but >$100) Kumho Solus TA51a Ironman (Les Schwab) Cooper Discoverer RT AT Hankook Kinergy ST (H735) Milestar Patagonia H/T Toyo Extensa AS II   The only one that stands out is the Cooper Discoverer in looks and actual brand recognition for me. $120/each. The buyer for this truck will probably want a visual look of not a completely smooth car/highway tire and this one has slightly blockier tread.   Starfire is supposedly a sub-brand of Cooper. Mohave is a house brand of Discount Tire. The spelling bugs me, I've always known it as Mojave. Kumho, the name, still makes me giggle.   If I was selling it tomorrow, I'd probably go with anything in the Dirt Cheap category. But I may drive this around through the fall and my mind would be ruined knowing I'm rolling around on "Laufenn" or "Entry Level" tires, name alone.   In a world where *most* tires are now offshore-produced, is one low-buck tire much better than another?

      Is your l8t engine bay super dusty?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Most vehicles have engine covers. The cooling fan’s are below the cover. That probably doesn’t help. I cleaned collector car engines. The rest not so much since the last one protested by missing for a few days drying out.

      Transmission temperature 10speed with 3.0 LZO Duramax

      Point of clarification on this graph. It is the life of the FLUID not the Transmission being graphed. Compare to his comments below the graph. Get it to the top of the graph and you can kill one in an afternoon.

      Did all this valve cover work slow the oil consumption?
