Finally got the amber DRLs working on my 2019-2021 Sierra 1500.

Always thought the stock white DRLs looked kinda bland, especially on darker trucks. Wanted more of that Raptor-style amber look. Doesn’t help that this truck doesn’t have a Led DRL like the newer ones. So couldn’t use the venom kit.

Purchased some new headlights that had led DRLs. Took some wiring/testing and I got the DRLs switched over to amber and honestly it completely changed the front end at night.

Haven’t really seen many people do this on the pre-facelift 1500s yet.

A few pics/videos of how it turned out:

Curious what people think:
clean OEM+ look or too much?

Finally threw 37s on my 2021 Sierra AT4 1500 with the LM2 Duramax. Honestly wasn’t sure if I was gonna regret it or not, but after driving it for a while now… I kinda love how ridiculous it looks.

Running a BDS 4” lift with 37x12.50s. Definitely took some trimming and playing around to get everything happy. It’s not one of those “bolted right up no issues” setups people claim online. Had to deal with clearance in the usual spots and make sure it wouldn’t destroy itself at full lock.

That said… the stance is worth it. The truck just looks mean now. Ride quality honestly still isn’t bad either.

In this video below I show the:
- trimming/cutting
- rubbing areas
- 0-60 difference
- weight comparison
- MPG
- before/after with 35s

People online either act like 37s are impossible on a 1500 or pretend there’s zero downsides. Truth is it’s somewhere in the middle.

Anyone else here running 37s on a half ton?

Just finished installing the Amsoil Dual Remote Oil Bypass System on my 2021 Sierra AT4 3.0L Duramax (LM2), and figured I’d share some insight for anyone considering it. Seems like there is nothing anywhere about it.

Why I went this route:
A dual oil filter bypass system seems to be something all the big boy diesels run. So wanted to give it a shot on my LM2.

How it works (simple terms):
One filter handles full flow (like stock)
The second is a bypass filter that slowly cleans a small portion of oil at a time but at a much finer level
Over time, your entire oil supply gets significantly cleaner than stock filtration alone

Initial thoughts:
Build quality is solid
Definitely not a “quick install,” mounting the system was hardest part.
Also you have to make your own AN lines which is something I have done plenty of times

In the end I’m not sure if the price is worth it or if I will benefit from it. Again like I mentioned the big boys run one so why not 🤷‍♂️ the 10 micron filter last for 10k miles and the 2 micron filter last for 45k miles. I won’t be changing them often.

Anyways a video of the install if you’re interested.

Just hit 200,000 miles on my 2012 Accord (2.4L).

People always say these cars run forever, which… yeah, kinda. But you don’t get to 200k without replacing stuff.

Here’s what mine needed getting here:
AC compressor
Cam position sensor
Valve cover gasket
VVT Gasket
Passenger CV axle
Upstream O2 sensor
Power steering system basically redone (pump, reservoir, lines + flush)
Usual maintenance — plugs, belt, fluids, etc

Nothing blew up, but it’s been more of a slow “fix something every so often” situation, especially past like 150k.

Biggest thing I’ve noticed is it’s not even mileage at this point — it’s just age. Rubber, seals, sensors… they start going and you just deal with it as it comes.

The torque converter is going bad and unfortunately I found a small leak inside the driver side inner tie rod boot. So steering rack is bad. 😩

Made a video going through everything I replaced and what the car’s been like at 200k.
