Black Betty 2018 Z71 Silverado....build

[iamdub]

managed to get the power fold turn signal mirrors installed without to much trouble, wind blew over one of my door panels and scuffed it a hair but nothing unbearable

Dammit! That would be how it'd go- you take all the precautions to not break anything when removing the panel then something like that happens.

I should have put in the back of the truck but I leaned it against the yukon instead and sure enough the wind kicked up out of no where.

Just saw those tail lights for sale over at silveradosierra.com for $375, new in the box. Go figure huh.

weird those look clear, I only saw the red lens and smoked ones for sale, I like the red ones anyway
I need the dam power fold switch for the mirrors, apparently it's been out of stock since the strike
got all my Maestro adapters I need to pick some speakers, front doors have 6x9's, rear doors have 6.5, i've never really heard a decent 6x9 other than old school 2-ways so might just adapt the front doors to 6.5 also and run 2 sets of components, put subs under the rear seat, amps behind the rear seat, that leaves the dash speakers and a deck, I might wait a couple months on the deck both pioneer and kenwood will have there new ones out by spring or should anyway.

Look for wireless CarPlay if you use an iPhone.

ya I have a wireless deck in the yukon, I'm just waiting for the new decks to be released they showed them at ces last month, this truck has wired android auto/carplay but I want wireless, Alpine makes a nice 9" or 10" that will slap right in but it's not wireless

Hit a speed bump kind of hard today, it bottomed out and bam abs light and service traction/trailer system
I figured maybe I busted the trailer brake module, but no the idiots that did the drop before I owned it ran the right rear abs harness right between the axle and frame so if you bottom out it pinches the cable I found it in the dark with my flashlight and then scanned it and sure enough....
thought about repairing it but new oem ones are only $20 online, so i'll just get one from the dealer tomorrow

Nothing better than an easy fix except a cheap AND easy fix!

right? I was like crap the things probably $80-100, so I was surprised to see it for $17 from gmparts direct list $21, my local dealer gives me a discount so it should be the same price.
I'm just glad it wasn't one of the ones that goes inside the axle behind the bearing, I guess technically it is but the sensor just bolts on

That’s the reluctor. They almost never go out unless someone narrows your rear end and has non ABS axles built. I know that firsthand.

so what is the work around for no rear sensors? split the signal from the front?

The work around, after I replaced the reluctors and figured out they still weren’t gripping the axles, was to call Moser and order the right axles. So not a cheap OR easy fix.

$16 for a new abs sensor from the dealer, probably would have been easier to do with the wheel off but hardest part was the dam locktited bolt, anyway all fixed up and no more code

New Interstate AGM $175 from Costco, kind of a pia, you have to disconnect a bunch of crap and move the reservoir.
only welded with it a couple times during the process lol
had to re-calibrate the compass and reset the tpms and set the radio preset's the clock autoset.

thinking about getting one of these spoilers I have seen a couple around they look pretty sick, looks like it will run me about $450 shipped, it's fiberglass and then it has to be painted

If you’re going to leave it dropped, I say go for it. Not so sure it would look right if you go back to stock height or lift it.

On the NNBS they came with those stock. I have debated on putting one on mine since I bought it. It’s another thing the painter must have lost.

I think the piece on the truck that Wes posted looks like it is a little more pronounced than the stock one.

I thought I got the wrong tailgate cap on my 2007 when I bought it used until I discovered that they had two different stick tailgate caps. One was simply a round top cap and the other was the airfoil shaped cap. I kept looking for an airfoil style one but ended up trading the truck in before I found one at a price I would pay.
