  1. I like the chrome handles and think it would make the truck look even nicer.
  2. Struts? Sway bar links? Sway bar bushings? Upper control arm bushings? Aside from this, sounds like you got everything. I should point out that I'm at about 200k miles on my truck. I haven't replaced any of those parts though I suspect I will need to at some point. Sooner rather than later.
  3. I don't have an update on this but did replace the catalytic converters on my 2015 Silverado with some Catco. See link to product below: That was few months and about 10k miles ago. I can't tell you how long they'll last but the truck seems to be working fine since they were replaced. The Check Engine light kept coming on. The truck didn't really give me any trouble except for the light and the fact that the remote start wouldn't work (because of the check engine light). Took it to the shop. Mechanic told me it was the cats and suggested using these. He order/installed them and now she's back to normal. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/cto-9583/make/chevrolet/model/silverado-1500/year/2015

  5. My temp sensor got all wacky right before my battery died. Was working fine before the battery died. The dead battery and wacky sensor caused the fans to get all crazy too. I replaced the battery and that fixed the fan issue but my temp won't go past 160 now either. Was thinking about replacing the sensor but now I'm thinking of replacing the thermostat. I'm close to 200k miles on the original water pump so thinking I should go ahead and do the temp sensor, thermostat, and water pump. Does anyone know if Part No 12685257 includes everything? Looked at pics online and looks like it does but can't tell for sure.
  6. Took it to the shop this morning. The mechanic says cylinder 6 is misfiring so hoping it’s just the spark plug and/or coil pack. I’d hate to replace the cat converter
  7. Only P0446 when I had it read so the others must have happened after. Doesn’t sound too exciting. Lol
  8. Thanks for the reply. The my check engine light started flashing today and the truck started shaking so going to take it to a shop tomorrow AM.
  9. Mine came on a few days ago and have been debating on taking it to a shop or trying something myself. Let me know it goes for you.
  10. Did you ever get this to work?? If so, how much did you spend? Got a buddy that would like to make this conversion but wants to know how much he's going to spend. Also here in Houston. Thanks!
  11. I've got the transmission temperature screen showing in the dash. Stays at 190 in short and long distance runs. I didn't start watching it until it started acting funny so not sure what it was at before. But I agree. Regular, quality fluid changes, should extend the life of the transmission. And they are definitely cheaper than replacing/rebuilding one.
  12. I'm not that mechanically inclined. I do want to keep my truck as long as possible. Perhaps a rebuild or replacement when the transmission finally dies.
  13. My 2015 5.3 6-Speed w/ about 115k is starting to shift funny. I hear a whine when in low speed. It is probably there the whole time but not loud enough to hear. Not low on fluid. Fluid and filter were changed around 50k and again around 100k. Dropped pan, not flush.
  14. Nice truck! I've used Autotrader before. Didn't have a good or bad experience. I would likely use it again if I were looking to sell another vehicle. $50 is nothing when selling a truck that expensive. What about posting it here in the For Sale/Wanted thread? Btw, your Craigslist ad shows its a 6-cylinder engine. Pretty sure it is an 8 cylinder. Good luck!!
