All the emblems on my truck are currently black, except the Z71. What do you guys think I should do with them? I am debating and cant make up my mind lol.

As soon as I get my waiver from the state, Im tinting the windows. The sun is killing my head. After that though, I guess wheels will probably be next on my list. I found a set that I think Id like on my truck. The link is below. I had thought I was going to replace the Rancho shocks/struts like I did with the Sierra but this set doesnt ride quite as bad. So with that in mind, I think Ill wait the year and a half til the warranty is up and see about a proper lift. Why pay for it twice lol. I had thought I was going to get the Pulsar LT for it but I borrowed my neighbors before I dropped $500 on it and my mileage took a dump. Lost about 3 down to 17. Just cant see that with my commute. I have still yet to figure out the difference between the LTD and the 21s.

 

So far I have changed my antenna, intake, exhaust, added a tonneau cover, LEDs for the license plate, LED reverse lights, and tie downs.

As for enthusiasm, I have modded my rides for a long time. It never fades lol. Got to make them mine.

I removed all the badges on my 2021 Silverado RST. It looks fantastic, clean, and elegant. I also deleted the mudflaps.

Custom emblems must be a curse. Put the black and red ones on our 2020 and it got totaled also.

Black Z71 badges ordered. I thought about dipping them but when I read on it, it seems that most say it only lasts about 3 years. Well, I dont feel like doing it more than once. Now It can be like Fixodent, set it and forget it lol.

Luckily no major injuries. Ended up getting a 22 Boss with 3.0 diesel. Loving it so far.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, SnapOn can remotely disable the device if it's flagged in their system. And, customer service can tell you if it is, if you're thinking about buying used. B) Make sure it's paid off. If the seller still owes money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid. It's less clear if SnapOn will tell you if a balance is still owed; I didn't make it that far with the used model I was considering. I did read that SnapOn has no way of tracking any "truck financing" deals between the SnapOn rep and buyer, only if they financed through corporate. So there's that extra caution needed.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about. Value, or principles? There's a $1k difference.

      Winter Returned

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.

      My point was: If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   But, I will have a talk with AI to make sure their info is more accurate going forward.
