What do you think of this upgrade I did to my LTZ?  I Rhino’d both sides of factory front wheel well liners in red, just like the 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30!

Interesting. But, I think you ended up making the truck a bit heavier while the W-30 package was supposed to help make the car lighter.  :)

 

Fiberglass hood next on the list?

Well, you asked, so I'll answer.....

 

I think it looks like warmed over doo-doo, but it's your truck so rock on.

Now it just needs a 455, fiberglass hood, finned rear dif cover, and dual-gate shifter.

Well at least I kept the factory ones and only sprayed a secondary pair from the parts department. It’s an easy swap back should that day come in the future.  At least they won’t hold a ton of sand like the felt ones do.

What brand are they and how do they fit? I HATE the felt ones living in Michigan, they hold the salt.

Don't like the color, but curious about how they alter in cab noise. They should at least be easier to keep clean.

 

Best thing I've come up with is regularly cleaning them with a pressure washer; blasting away till they run clear.

There's a thought! Noise indeed. These could be sprayed in black or dark gray. 

 

How about it @Rhino Linings?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      One would think. BUT....This is what a Google search gives for the GM OLM system:    It doesn't measure oil condition save the highly indirect water temperature. It should measure oil temperature and as we've discussed they are not as closely related as one might assume. The algorithm is based on expected conditions at the end of a certain number of miles or revolutions. And sirs, this estimated value is not tilted in the engines favor. It favors the OEM's bottom line. There are no magical number of miles nor revolutions. No magical time limit. There is only what can be measured directly and only in the broadest of terms would the values used even come close to reality.    It samples nothing. It has no idea where the oil started or where it will finish given the limited values use to create the algorithm. It is just a reminder for the brain dead to do something at some time to keep the warranty in tact. Pure fiction.    Key Factors in Oil Life Calculation The OLM calculates the remaining oil life percentage based on the following factors: Factor Description Engine Revolutions Tracks the number of engine revolutions since the last reset, decreasing oil life with use. Mileage Since Last Reset Monitors the distance driven since the last oil change, capped at 7,500 miles for most models. Time Since Reset Decreases oil life over time, dropping to 0% after one year, regardless of mileage. Engine Temperature Adjusts oil life based on coolant temperature; exceeding 260°F sets oil life to 0%.

      Towing power and I guess MPG matter that’s why I may end up going with a gear swap as soon as they’re available for this truck if I’m correct

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By GMTruckGuy74 · Posted

      If I may, I'd like to post my prediction of the trim levels for the 2027 GMC Sierra, based on what was released/introduced today about the Chevy Silverado.   Using the "Professional Grade" wording already in use by GMC, here are the eight (8) trims I believe the Sierra will offer (comparable Chevy trim in parenthesis): Sierra Pro (Work Truck/WT) Elevation (Custom) Elevation Premium -or- Ultimate (Silverado) AT4 (Custom Trail Boss) AT4 Premium -or- Ultimate (Trail Boss) AT4X (ZR2) Denali (High Country) Denali Ultimate (N/A) If GMC would rather simplify the trim levels, then I predict six (6) with package upgrades in parenthesis: Sierra Pro (with a Graphite package upgrade option) Elevation (with a Premium -or- Ultimate package upgrade) AT4 (with a Premium -or- Ultimate package upgrade) AT4X (with AEV and Ultimate packages upgrade) Denali Denali Ultimate  Let's see if I'm close.

      Auto start stop disable

      By revmanii · Posted

      I have to believe there are already a bunch of threads on this, but my searches didn't turn up much. While I like the ease of a plugin solution like the Carbyte, It appears it disables the AFM or DFM too, and is not configurable to only disable the auto stop/start. So, I'm looking at the Autostop Eliminator product. I like the idea of it better, but I'm concerned about the install and having to pull so many panels to get it installed. Mines a 2026 work truck, so from what I've read it's a less involved install, but having watched a couple install vid's, I'm still a little intimidated. Might need to buy some plastic trim tools to get it done without breaking or marring stuff. Any experience intalling in a WT greatly appreciated.
