Painted my tailgate handle yesterday

Rob38jr, I wish I could help you out. I called two vinyl shops. One quoted me $140 and another quoted $40. I went with the $40 one... He told me it's his best vinyl that he had..., so I'm assuming he told me the truth. I didn't like how Chevy left that small black plastic piece at the bottom between the two windows. It was bothering me. Dodge and Ford both put a piece of black plastic between the two windows on their newer crew cabs.

Installed black vinyl between my two windows. Looks better IMO.

Got tint installed today

I decided on the Leer 550. I liked that it was waterproof and covered all of the black plastic on the bed rails. I painted the handle on the bed cover to match my truck and I removed the "LEER" lettering from the back as well. So far it's served me well. I paid $915 for the cover and install.

Yes, very interested!!! Someone please post a how to!

I wish that I had better info on it. I sold the truck a few months back and now I drive a 14'. I had the receipts from the dealership also. I remember the first time that it happened I was driving on a lonely Hwy in the middle of Arizona. I drove it to a Chevy dealer and they replaced some sort of electronics ($600 worth). The next time it happened I was in my driveway. I thought that I was going to have to get a tow truck to get me to the dealer, because I was unable to get it out of four wheel drive. After I went into reverse, drive, reverse drive a few times it finally worked. I took it to the dealership the next day and they replaced the same electronics (another $600). At the time, I just paid it and went on about my life, so I couldn't tell you the exact details. I do know that that was my only problem with that truck for the 141,000 that I put on it before selling it. Sorry I couldn't be of any better help.

This same issue happened in my 2006... Twice!

Still need.... tinted windows, level kit, sound system, de-badge the "SILVERADO" on the doors,color matched front Chevy bow tie, color match grille and bumpers, color match the tailgate handle,...... in no particular order.

I put a Leer 550 tonneau cover on mine. I think it came out alright.

Ok, I'm glad others are having this issue also. My truck was three days old with less than 300 miles on it when I brought it back to the dealership with transmission issues. They had it in their shop for 21 days trying to guess the issue. I basically got an entirely new transmission they told me after all said and done. The issue, they told me was the torque converter. To describe my issue: it felt as though my transmission would go into neutral at every stop. I would step on the gas when the light turned green the engine would rev until around 2K RPM's then jump into gear. Same issue in reverse. I'm somewhat glad to see others are having close to the same issue.
