Decided to check for updates for my 2021 Silverado 1500, and the system showed no updates available. When I checked the build number, it looks like it hasn't been updated since it was new. Does this look like I'm missing a ton of updates? Thanks

For anyone considering the M&R Automotive 40" SLIM Light Bar setup for the 2022+ Chevrolet Silverado 1500, here’s an install video showing how the behind-the-grille setup comes together. It gives you a closer look at the mounting process and what’s involved in getting the 40" bar positioned and installed while keeping everything tucked behind the factory grille. Hope this helps anyone considering the setup or planning to tackle the install themselves!

I can see them dropping the SLE trim line but the SLT trim?? I think that's a bad move, I know several acquaintances that always buy SLT trim, usually every 3-4 yrs. They would never consider an AT4 (older) and the Elevation is a cheap model in their eyes.

I assume I'd be opening up pandora's box if I tried to source the early WT mirrors and tried to get the 2500 bases fitted to the rest of the 1500 mirrors...

Get a Range AFM disabler or have someone with a tuner go in and turn off AFM. Simple fix. You should be lucky it didn't lunch the camshaft.

1500 mirrors will NOT fit HD. They do NOT share doors which means they don't share mirrors. There is only one small mirror for HD and it has nothing but heat and power glass. If you have cameras and blind spot, your only option is the factory equipped towing mirrors.

2024 RST....new look!

$5.06 at our Kroger today

I still kick myself for not buying your last truck when you had it for sale. I had two at the time so I passed, damit.

I did some driving around the woodlands area and saw some 3.31 a gallon prices. Usually my local Kroger’s is the cheapest. It hasn’t always been here lately. I usually get the benefit of my Kroger card. I don’t add that in for this purpose.

So resurrecting this thread... Is it possible to get the 1500 mirrors with power folding, blind spot and 360 view that have the "square" mounting stud pattern? Did not realize there was a difference and ordered '25 1500 High Country mirrors to mount on my '25 2500HD LT and came to the unfortunate discovery that the mounting studs have different patterns.

Seeing the same thing here, the truck stop is usually a couple cents cheaper than everywhere else but they were higher than surrounding stations this am, will see if the others go up this afternoon $3.76 truck stop, $3.74 Gulf, Sunoco still $3.69 but the tanker was there this am so that may change, Mobil $3.84

Gasbuddy lists Costco in Mansfield as the cheapest in Texas at 2.93 for regular but also more than one place around that 3.00 level in Houston. I am guessing that is probably some of the lowest fuel prices in the states ?

Resurrecting this thread. I was wondering if anyone has information about the differences between mounting bolt patterns for mirrors and how to understand what mirrors have what pattern.... I have a 2025 2500HD LT and want to swap my stock power folding, blind spot and 360 view mirrors with 1500 mirrors with the same features. I ordered a 2025 1500 High Country mirror but came to find that they have different mounting patterns as seen in this picture. @modernmetal did you have issues with the mounting pattern?

3.51 Kroger’s in Montgomery Tx. Surprisingly they’re not the cheapest. That is unusual.

GMT900 6.2 Trucks didnt have AFM, which was nice.

If it won't pull it, then it won't pull it. You'd have to use one of those sites where you can buy a reprint.

I never liked the choppiness of AFM (or DFM) in my '15 and '20 Silverados and IMO it's worth disabling just for the driving experience alone. I wonder what the actual failure rate of AFM/DFM is.

186K miles on my 2020 8-spd. Butter smooth shifts.

Im unable to pull up the sticker for my 21 Sierra. It worked fine for my 19 Silverado... Can someone pull the sticker for me Please? 3GTU9FET6MG179370

I have a 2" lift, so the equivalent of the factory trail boss height, and it has been on the truck for approximately 165,000 miles. I don't believe the lift to have had any significant adverse affects on the ball joint. The socket was dry of grease and warbled out over extended use, but the ball/bolt itself wasn't broken, stripped, bent, or anything. It just pulled out when the UCA socket bore wore enough for the ball to slip out.

It use to be pretty common for me to add a Super Charger. The only way I would chance it today would be dealer install with a warranty. I only have experience with Ford. They are doing well so far.

I only bought two vehicles for personal use that weren’t leftover or CPO. A 94 impala SS and a 2001 Acura Intagra Type R. The impala I traded for a new Camaro for my son to go to college in at the dealer about 8 years later. The Acura we still have. Most of my work trucks were discounted for one reason or another. Usually a leftover. My last new vehicle a Camry was a leftover 2017. The 2018 was a redesign I got 10K off, unheard of for a Toyota. Today it’s hard for me to buy new. Five year old vehicles are known if there’s a problem is easy to look up and they are depreciated. There’s a few manufacturers that will certify vehicles with 100K miles on them. None of my vehicles owe me anything. I’m money ahead. The money Ive saved if my vehicle failed on a trip. If it was cost effective to leave it and buy another. I wouldn’t think twice. My brother bought a Shelby Super Snake P/U. His shop Forman bought a leftover reg cab work truck and had the kit installed for less than half the price. Every time I go to my old shop I laugh at him. If all that makes you feel good go for it. I have more fun finding deals. I’m never locked in waiting to get right side up. The only way I’ll go new today is a lease. Short term. No worries. And only if it’s a deal

Many folks have reported they are much better than the Ranchos. I've read a lot of complains about the Ranchos.

Check on Scovel Motorsports too, they're prices are VERY competitive too.
