Yup really.  Next time I’ll try to hide my “I’m cheap and dated” membership card.   They’re work truck trims so I give them a pass. 

I understand their purpose and drive a Silverado SSV at work but to say they look best???

Nah, I didn’t say the refreshed WT/Custom looked the best.  (Check my old post)

 

I said the refreshed HC and ZR2 looked the best.  
 

And I also said I “prefer” the previous style  WT/Custom frontend but I like the matte black letters on the refreshed.  Just don’t like that it’s not centered.  For what it is (a work truck), it’s fine.  I was comparing the previous style WT/Custom to the refreshed WT/Custom.  Maybe that wasn’t made clear enough on my part.  But not saying WT/Custom (previous or refreshed) was the best looking.

I gotcha. All good 👍

Can anyone get some better pictures of the front and rear door panels? Wondering if these would be a direct swap into last generations. 
 

thanks!

Different door panels.

Clearly the panels are different, not what he asked.

 

I doubt the door itself changed at all. Decent chance the panels would swap.

The interior door handle has changed as well. Not sure if the new one will swap to the other models. The exterior door shell hasn't changed, but I'd bet that the inner door structure has.

modifying the arm bar for the door panels is very easy. If the exterior door skin is the same, which appears it is then the likelihood of a re-worked interior panel from a structural standpoint is fairly low.  If anything, may just need longer wires for the power windows. 
 

What I’m more concerned with is the panel shape/size itself and the mounting tabs.

Sweet.  How is that 2.7 so far?  Any MPG reports?

So what is he trying to do? Put refresh door panels on a LTD?   Why just change the door panels?  Big expense for such minute cosmetic change. There's nothing that special about refresh door panels. Good luck getting them anyway.  I seriously doubt GM has them to sell right now like all other parts you can't get.

    • 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?
