What have you done to your Silverado ZR2 this week? 🛠️

Ceramic coated and installed a PPE transmission fluid bypass. So far, I have noticed a 40 to 50 degree drop in transmission temps.

What ceramic did you use?


I got the Adam’s kit, it was 30% off. Real easy to apply. I had a few quotes and some places were wanting $1200. There no way I would be willing to pay that. Only took a few hours with washing and clay bar.

good info on tfb.

Today while driving around Tampa it was 97 degrees outside. Highest my temp got was 151 while setting in traffic. Driving around it was at 141-147. Huge improvement, I’m really happy with this mod.

Also, for the install, extremely easy. I did it at night in my driveway so I wouldn’t get reported to the hoa. My driveway is at a slight incline so in only lost maybe 6oz.

I live in Phoenix and it was 117 yesterday and mine doesnt get very hot. I see temps mid 170. Even on my 2500HD I can't break 180 towing. I'm worried it's not warm enough.

This was only about 15 miles and banging the paddles some.

Great choice!
 
Added a Diamondback HD cover on my 1500 ZR2 Bison. This is my second install of a DB cover, and I’m very impressed with the ease of install on this one over the last one (5 years ago).

Very nice. I prefer the look of a low profile cover that only sticks up maybe 1/4" tops over the bed rails. If you are going to put stuff on top of that cover, then it makes sense to me.

Looks good! I got my first diamondback HD a few months ago and I love it. Very easy to remove if I need to haul larger items or I just hook up the trailer. I need to get the rack rails for kayaks soon.

Let's see what you have done with your Silverado ZR2!
Changed my oil out at 1,750… got that break in oil out and threw in some fresh purple lube… didn’t have time to wait for my actual choice of Amsoil cause i procrastinated but going forward will be AMSOIL signature.

Any high quality motor oil will be just fine. Many of us like Pennzoil Platinum or Ultra. Relatively cheap at Walmart. I have never been a Royal Purple fan and I think that Amsoil is a great oil, but more money than you need to spend and really won't help your engine. I change my oil very 5K miles. Your money so do what you feel most comfortable with.
 
Decided to finally install a switch system and the ditch lights that have been sitting in the garage for a few weeks. Baja designs squadron pros on some sdhq mounts. Had to build a bracket for the sPod bantam to put it where I wanted to since no one has made one yet. Touch screen is mounted on a ram mount in a similar place as the gm upfotter switches.
