Alright, so I drive a 2008 Sierra with the VortecMax package (the high performance 6.0 V8 and upgraded suspension). Paint started chipping so I'm getting it repainted, meaning I'll have to replace emblems.

 

All that to say, would it be frowned upon to apply 4th gen emblems/placement on the tailgate, or stick with 3rd gen emblems/placement? Pictures of difference between the two below.

Put on what you like. When I first joined the site emblem removal was the rage. I give a thumbs up when I see a vortec max. Wishing the option was still available. As well as the E-85 option for improved performance.

I see no issue updating the gen of "SIERRA" and "SLE" logos at all.   

Yeah I mean that's just it, not like I'm putting emblems of a trim I don't have on. Just updating style and where they're placed.

I put the 07-13 2500 HD and Silverado on my 2006.  It looked great compared to those old one piece badges they had before.

I say go for it.  I always wanted a GMC Suburban, have thought of removing my Yukon XL emblems for Suburban!

 

Done any mods to the VortecMax?  4L70 trans right?  14-Bolt axle with 3.73s or 4.10s?

Yes, 4L70E and 4.10. Mods, S&B CAI, Jet throttle body, Bully Dog BDX tuner with a custom tune I had written up.

Cool, have you ever taken it to the track to see how fast it is?

Just go for the Emblems you like.

I have replaced the LS trim-emblems on the Pillars with LS6 emblems :)
My truck has an aluminum 5,7Block 11,5:1CR Truck-Norris-Cam, Headers and matching tune, that is pretty close to being an LS6.

      This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
