I would never black out the only thing that tells the idiot behind me that I am about to stop... no matter how cool it looked.

My brother got his Sliverados tail lights blacked out by the custom car shop in our area. They look ok. I would just rather have the person behind me see my tail lights.

sry i prob used the wrong word, i dont want to completly black them out, just have em smoked. cuz i have a black truck, so having giant silver/yellow lights kinda throws it off... just want them to blend a little more.

k i googled it and found this site, now i know it is like a lazy version of doing it... but basically its described as window tint, (but different)... so its like a big tint sticker (custom for every vehichle) for your head lights/tail lights/fog lights. www.headlightarmor.com is the site, for 07-08 silverado its 60$ for tail lights, and 70 for headlight/fog light combo. and they are available in 50%, 30%, and 20% smoke options... any one heard of this? it sounds a little bit ghetto... but for some reason it sounds like it would work and look decent... if you do a good job putting it on lol...

I myself would like to "tone down" the redness of the rear taillights on my black 07 NBS.. The plastic is a bit too bright in my opinion. Nothing drastic, just a little darker is all...

I would really like to do this to my taillights too. Just a very light tint to blend things in a little better. I'm not sure how the tinted headlights would look. If anybody gets this done I would love to see what it looks like on the 07's and how you do it. Anybody know where you can find any type of laws about this?

yeah thats another thing i was gonna ask, is the laws on it. tail lights you can prob get away with, i saw a guy today in a civic with totally blacked out ones... like comletely black. and that site i saw is stick on stuff, so i mean, i guess you could always take it off. and i would prob do 20% on the tail lights (since the red is pretty aggressive) and 50% on the head lights... would prob look sick.

 

heres the link to that site i mentioned, right to the stuff for 07/08 silverado. they have pics and stuff to..

no thank you! None of that gay looking euro lights stuff.. Don't want the LEDs there either.. I might put LEDs in the license plate light or the top center brake light, but that would be it for exterrior LEDs..

Ive seen a lot of them on E-bay. But they are so cheap compared to the namebrands (TYC,...)

makes me wonder how they will hold up.

 

But since my truck is white, I am considering going inn the opposite direction of yall and getting pure clear taillights...off e-bay. :thumbs:

 

I think the black ones look good, just not dark enough to be a saftey hazard.

Testor's model window tint and duplicolor clear. Some time and effort and 1000x better. Its not that difficult, just time consuming. You could probably have a body shop do them for half the cost of a new set of lights. IMHO headlights would look very bad tinted. I cleared mine by taking the reflector out and putting in Silverstar bulbs in place of the amber ones.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
