Did some modding on my 2021. What yall think??

Paint: Had a local paint shop spray the engine cover along with the side covers

 

Engine cover: 2015-2019 Cadillac Escalade engine cover GM Part # 12669503

 

Engine Cover studs: GM Part # 11611691 (you will need to remove the 2 10mm bolts from ur existing cover and replace them with the 2 studs. This holds the cover in place.)

 

Engine cover Chevy emblem: All I did was use a heat gun to remove the caddy emblem on it and replace it with a Chevy center cap (found on eBay set of 4 was 20.00) used 3M tape to attach to cover. 
 

This will work on both 5.3 and 6.2!

 

Any other question feel free to message me!!

White is going to be dirty as hell in the engine compartment! Looks good though. I'll have to add this to my "someday" mods list!

What holds the rear of the cover on? I looked at GM's piss poor drawings of the parts and I can't tell what the rear mounts to, the stock bolt heads or the same studs as the front.

I saw a step by step on another forum for doing this and thought it was a cool idea. I see why you went that color, though I agree with GETGONE, going to get dirty quick!

May have to do this for the side covers to match the red on my Whipple. I'm assuming those are pretty simple to take off, but I haven't looked.

It hooks into the loops on the existing manifold cover.

I dig it, I'm likely going to do this on my Elevation. Do you happen to remember, or could you measure the diameter of the center cap you used? I'm looking for a GMC cap to have them at the same time.

      Gas Prices

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By wxman13 · Posted

      Just wanted to get a idea of how many of you still have problems with your radio cutting out during the first few minutes of driving, my 2024 GMC Sierra still does this after a little over 2 years of complaining to my dealer about it, and OTA updates no longer complete, the check for updates in settings is greyed out for the second time while trying to install a update, my dealer took about a week to play around with it the first time this happened, and somehow got the check for updates to work, even though it would always show system is up to date when I knew it wasn't, now again 1 month later its greyed out again when the OTA update N25-F163BU tried to install, which ironically is the update to help with reliability of future updates.
