Yikes. This is the sort of thing that makes me happy I traded my '09 for a '15 - also that bean counters at Chevrolet(assumption on my part) hate green.

Eventually, i'd like to swap over to Bilsteins on the 3rd notch and move to 285/55/20 or 275/60/20 but occasionally I get the front end clunk in the parking lot at work, it hasn't happened in a couple weeks but im sure it will be back and I can drive it over to the dealer. Until that happens though, I don't want to chance being denied warranty claims, especially if it's steering rack related. The color sold me, for sure...and I have a black olive tree near the driveway. Pretty much sucks if the wind blows, it rains, or I exhale after washing it. -

I think it's the picture; even though they're identical shots, the orange one's hood looks like it's more level and has less of a mini van slope. Edit: On second thought, it looks like the angle of the shot is different. It seems like you're looking up at the orange one, and down on or level on the "shadow gray."

2019 Silverado Hitting the lots!!
Junkyard33 replied to 17TXLTZ's topic in 2019-2025 Silverado & Sierra
While the '19s have grown on me, I can't get over the sloped down hood - it reminds me of the Colorado as does the little swoop upwards on the back door. The GMC seems boxier to me, and I prefer that look - i'm definitely not a fan of the mirrors being mounted to the door panel; that drives me nuts. I suppose i'm just a 90 year old curmudgeon at heart, but yuck. I live in Florida, but I feel for the poor soul that has to clean that front end up north packed full of snow and road salt and then wax the frickin' thing. If they wanted bigger/taller, they could have bumped up the stature of the '15. Im such a sucker for the refined 90's brick look -
Can you get katzkins for 14 gmc regular cab?

Really? Id be curious to know if I could swap the foam over from an '09 to my '15. While they added legroom, the backseats in my old truck were much more comfortable. -

2002 Silverado 6.0 A/C compressor model #
Junkyard33 replied to Justanother6slow's question in Ask the GM Technician
Napa pulls this guy up https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/DEO4710315 There are other models(remans, not really different) listed. Your best bet is to crawl under with a flashlight and see if you can see a part #. I can't speak to how yours is setup, but just changing the belt on mine(squeak) was a pain because it was a stretch to fit, separate from the serpentine. I'd look in the front passenger side corner(bottom) of the engine bay.The oldest truck we've got in our fleet at the moment is an '05(sold our '02 a couple years back) and that's where she's located. I just can't remember for the life of me if the '02/'05 have separate belts, or if they're run off the serpentine. If separate, there's a little tool to be used or alot of screwing around with wrenches/flatheads getting the belt on. -
Trade in now or wait for 2019???
Junkyard33 replied to TexasZseventyone's topic in 2014 - 2019 Silverado & Sierra
To me, dealers seem like they are trying to move the older models out. I'd go for it now if you're dead set on the higher trim. If not, keep your current ride. My 3/4 ton was an LT and to be honest, it didn't lack any features that made me regret my decision to buy it. The only option I had them add on was leather, as I had an 07 half-ton GMC that had the lint roller seats that drove me nuts. The '19's are a bit Ford/Tundra-esque to me, and while I left room for them to grow on me after seeing them in person(like the Tahoe redesign,) I was out and decided not to wait after seeing there was no green offering. I almost bit the bullet on an '18 Sierra in graphite/slate(at least it had a green hue) when I checked autonation and found the '15 ltz in green. The front end I loved, 36k miles, 15k cheaper than an '18, CPO, and the color combo I loved. It's your call, but I would not bite on the new body, at least not yet - grab an '18 Sierra! That's a front end I could live with =) -

Well, I finally traded my old truck a few weeks ago. Dream color combo and the front end I prefer did me in! For some odd reason, the chrome has grown on me - I still think I need to break it up a little bit, but i'm certainly not ready to black everything out like I was on my old truck. Edit: I forgot the mention, these trucks drive ridiculously smooth. My old truck's felt like a covered wagon in comparison! -

Is it me, or do the mirrors look like they fold down like the Dodge mirrors do? Something funky looking to me on the arm they mount to.- 16 replies
