I bought a pair of AVS chrome vent visors for my truck and wasnt sure if it would look odd or would look good, I have a smoked hood guard that I will in time replace with chrome also if it looks good, I just wasnt sure if I should leave the smoke vent visors and hood guard on there or replace em with the chrome ones, my truck is white and has alot of black on it so I figured maybe this would give it a different look but I am looking for either pics of em on a white truck or just what others think before I go and do all the removing of the ones on there now to put the chrome ones on.

IMHO stay with the black. I really don't think the chrome would look that good on a white truck. Do what ever makes you happy though, after all, it is your truck.

Nah, that's not really something you want to "stand out" on a truck.

 

But while you're here.... I'd also ditch the hood deflector, it doesn't look right with the grill guard. Seems to be "in the way." And that thing above your windshield... definately not a fan. And it's hard to tell from this angle, but the rear tail lights, already getting that "rice" vibe. Chrome mirror covers sorta feel left out with everything else on the side of your truck. Perhaps some chrome wheels would help 'em out?

 

But I mean, other than that, great lookin' truck man.

I thought about ditching the hood deflector actually for awhile but never could figure out if I should or not, I know it's a PITA to open the hood with it there so I will get rid of it the next nice day since snow is coming tonight, the thing above the windshield has to stay now as it's permanently bolted to the roof so I can't remove that, the tail lights are actually LED tail lights and are chrome inside, I have the stock tail lights but got annoyed with replacing bulbs so I upgraded all of my lighting(headlights & tail-lights), I will be upgrading the wheels once my tires are paid off on the sears card. I honestly thought about getting a chrome brush guard and chrome side bars but was really expensive and from what I am told is harder to keep clean so I went with black as black goes with anything really.

 

Thanks for the compliment on my truck.

 

P.S. after I had posted this topic about an hr after , I ran back to where I bought the chrome visors and returned em, I sat there and thought to myself I paid $40 for the pair of black visors and $80 for the chrome, what the hell is wrong with me paying that much for plastic.

      I wasn’t commenting on your post. Certainly wasn’t arguing. I was making an observation on my long term experience with supposedly proper length of driving for proper heat cycles. Works for me. Although I have seen water or vapor come out of exhaust when vehicles weren’t run very long and shut off. It’s very humid in the morning. Then hot and humid.

      Not what I said but I can work with it anyway. Complete combustion produces CO2 and H20. When it's cold enough you can 'see' it as water vapor but it is always there and more so the better the tune up. It's physics, not an argument. In a cold motor when the cylinder jacket is below the condensation temperature the water goes to the pan and not the PCV system. Heating the oil moves it from liquid to vapor where it is removed by the PCV system. When and how much depends on temperatures. Of the air, the water and so on. It has little to with the humidity. Water is a combustion product.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I can only guess as well that something was clicked on that brought you to the half ton choices by accident. By all means try again and chose the 3500 and sort out that its the cab and box configuration you want and choose four wheel drive ( rather obvious to have a transfer case ) and to make sure the dually isn't chosen. I find or at least did a couple of years ago when I was sifting through the options that it would sometimes jump ahead after choosing the series of truck and in this case 3500 and skip some of the other initial configuration choices and have to watch the heading bar and sometimes back up by choosing the first in the series of option break downs. I think sometimes the computer will remember items that were last chosen and skip over the first part. Anyway go through it all and depending on the trim level chosen and I think the LT is one that may fall into that where the option of having the 4 high auto transfer case can be chosen, where as a High Country doesn't show that option as it just comes with the fancier ( not necessarily better though in terms of potential problems ) transfer case but for sure both transfer case choices are equipped with high and low range in the HD truck segment. Like Newdude said who works at a dealership, its the half tons that are the ones that will come with the single speed unless certain options or trim levels are chosen that add the two speed transfer case but as your looking at an HD, you don't have to worry about that hot mess.    One item that at least didn't show up and not sure if it does yet or not in the HD options on the manufactures pubic website is the upfitter in cab switch option if one is desiring that. Unfortunately its not wired in at the factory but the panel with the switches is on the dash but the wiring harness to be installed gets tossed under the rear seat to be installed by whomever after the fact to complete the installation.

      Yesterday we brought home a 6yr  old Havanese dog from a nearby SPCA.  We've had her for 24 hours and we are delighted with how well she is adjusting to her new home.  It  was a huge decision to adopt a dog at this stage in our lives but we believe we made the right choice!   it was reported that her first 6 years were ones of neglect.  I think she's already realizing her life is going to get a whole lot better...  so is ours!
