Some updated photos of my 2019 RST. 3 inch MotoFab kit on 22x12 Arkon Lincoln's on 33" Atturo Trailblade MTs. Removed the front and rear mudflaps and put color matched fender plugs and removed the front lower valance. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

700 miles in, absolutely love this truck. The reviewers can bang on the interior all they want, it is very much my cup of tea. Vastly improved, the screen works great and everything is intuitive. I never had an issue with the older style seats, but the new side bolsters on this one are awesome. I was honestly sad to trade in my 2015 Duramax Denali 2500, it served me so well, but this 2020 has me wanting to drive everywhere.

Past few generations this can be done. Below steps are for 2019+ 1. Unscrew antenna whip and then OPEN hood 2. Pull snap tabs on antenna/cowl cover from bottom first then the side. 3. Unbolt antenna base 4. Reattach antenna whip 5. Route antenna down fender and secure with a few zip ties 6. Get one of the round grommets from the bed 7. Trim the bottom rubber part of antenna cover area where antenna hole is with a razor on the bottom so the grommet attaches securely 8. Place grommet in the hole and snap cover back in from side first then bottom It does result in a very very small reception loss but not much and I don’t use AM/FM radio a lot anyway.

You mean like not even have a rear locker on their most off-road version they make?

Like Ford and Ram. I wish you could get each trim level in painted bumpers and grill. Again with my comment about getting rid of Mary.

That's because the Elevation is really a SLE+ and you have to get an SLT, AT4 or Denali to get a 6.2L engine.

All cleaned up before the storm hits in Michigan!

Got a new wheel and tire setup so new pic new wheel is 18x9 and tires are 35x12.5

First off, Congrats to all of you new 2019+ T1 Owners. We look forward to seeing your rides in the pictures posted on this topic. Thanks for contributing !

Okay, after 11 months of agonizing mishaps, set backs and over all triumph, I figured it was time to immortalize my truck in a new post. Please welcome my 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 7.0 (427) Turbo Build! Block: Texas Speed and Performance Darton sleeved boost ready block; 7.0L (427). TSP Forged wet sump crankshaft 4.0" stroke 6.125 Boost specific billet I-Beam Rods CP 4.125 -12cc Dish Pistons w/upgraded wrist pins. Clevite main bearings Clevite rod bearings ARP Main stud kit Cylinder Heads/ Intake Precision Race Components ported Cylinder Heads w/ valve job PAC spring/ Valve Kit. Comp Cams rocker arms/trunion Texas Speed & Performance SV Camshaft +30% fuel lobe TSP AFM delete kit Lingenfelter ported 95mm throttle body Ported L86 intake manifold. All ARP bolts or studs. Fuel: GM ZR1 high volume fuel injectors GM ZR1 fuel pump (high side) Armageddon 465 LPH in tank fuel pump (low side) Snow Performance Stage 3 Meth Kit with controller and braided lines. Turbo: Borg Warner S480 T6 Turbo 1.32 AR billet 110/96mm. Turbo smart 50mm BOV Turbo Smart 60mm waste gate Pro Boost controller fully titanium wrapped exhaust Cooling/Oil separators Mishimoto fully aluminum Radiator Mishimoto R-Line Intercooler 31x 12x 4” Mishimoto HD Trans Cooler 2X Mishimoto Black Aluminum catch cans. Mishimoto 180 degree thermostat. Transmission/driveline: Circle D pro 3 torque converter 2700 stall. Custom 5" 6061 aluminum driveshaft rated for 1,200hp 7,300trq MORE to come. I need to get the final tune with the new block. Still runs very well on the old 6.2 tune however, going up to 7.0 adds a layer of goofy on vacuum or under boost.. Next steps Get the PATC Stage 4 transmission kit stuffed into my 6L80E and retune to 900+ whp! Hoping to have that underway around March! Let me know what you all think. Ask any question. I'm open to where I purchased parts, cost of build etc. especially my opinion getting into a build like this.

the lift kit GM uses with trail boss comes with different cv axles...at least the kit they sell and warranty 2' seems like a lot just to level, i don't think they have that much rake, at least my RST doesnt

That is bad then. To me they look like the fake plastic ones. Again, get what makes you happy. I myself think painting factory calipers looks better. Ones painted from the factory look even better.

Correct, but being bolted to one another, if the chassis flexes more on the half ton, that flex would then be transferred through the cab right? Since the LD & HD share a cab (and almost nothing else), if the HD proves to be not as leak prone, that would maybe indicate the chassis flex is the main issue, not the cab. I dunno, this is all above my pay grade, but I think we are doing better than GM’s engineering staff. I think either way, if this was solvable by simply beefing up the window frame itself, that would have already been done. Theoretically it would be quicker and easier to redesign the window than the cab or the frame. I dunno but GM is literally going broke fixing all these damn trucks in the meantime.

install complete for now Unfortunately the grill needs to be replaced. I modified it to fit temporarily until I can get the replacement.

That’s sickening if that’s the case...good lord. ::facepalm:: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Or how if you want to get their premium colour (army green for 2020), you have to shell out $20k extra over the base SR5 (i.e. more than a Platinum) for the TRD Pro, which is missing a lot of features for the price point.

Or more. Which is why it's so hard to compare different trims by looking at 2 trucks. Near impossible to know what was standard on the trims and what was optional. If a person had enough knowledge to know what was standard/optional on the two, then they wouldn't need to make a side-by-side comparison.

Yes my good sir I do! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thats a pretty good indication. But I wouldn't necessarily put the elevation at the RST trim. My father in law has the custom trailboss and my co worker has the elevation...after seeing both I'd put the trims almost equal (custom/elevation)...GMC will always come better equipped base. The RST seems to just be in its own nitch in the market. A highly equipped LT w/ color matching if anything. I have a 19 RST

Toyota does some weird stuff too. My neighbor across the street from me has a Cement Tundra and it has a chrome front bumper with a painted rear bumper. ?

It’s more like a RST, SLE, LT. The cool part about the Elevation though is that if you do opt for the 5.3 you still get the 10 speed. (Pretty sure it’s like that on all 5.3’s for 2020 with GMC)

Yep, that’s my point. You can get a stripped down version with a lift in the 6.2 but you can’t get an elevation with it. Does not make sense. GM can do such a great job on something like Corvette, but then botch their biggest money maker. Mary needs to go as CEO.

One of these days soon, I'll be doing something similar, redoing our laundry room, bottom 4' of one wall and the opposite side of the wall (in the hallway) are water wicked from a flood from an overflowing sink.

https://www.bajadesigns.com/Products/Chevy-Silverado-2019-Fog-Pocket-Mount-Kits.asp Here is another option: Combined 6,300 lumen's with brackets, has wire plug adapters to plug into factory harness, otherwise will need to install a switch. $415 if you call they will pretty much give you a 10% discount if you ask!

I was in the neighborhood so I did a drive-by at my dealer to see if my truck was outside. I could see a guy moving his belongings from a brand new high country to a double cable LT loaner. That can only mean one thing..... Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

Here is a spreadsheet of mostly everyone from this forum [plus some from Facebook] and I tried to capture everything someone said about their experience. Just click on the pic and use the Magnifier to expand to read.

Took a few more pics of my AT4 on level ground today. Love the truck

Loving this truck !!!

Hauled a bunch of drywall today. Ceilings suck....

I am one of the Beta testers, Have had a functioning Derringer in my 2020 for several weeks now. Each week we have a new version of firmware to evaluate, it is coming along nicely.

If you do the injectors yourself it might be less than $600. If you have a shop or the dealer do them you're looking at $1500-$2000. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

Pacific Blue but same code ;)

Installed hdx stainless steps. I needed something to help people get in before they tear the grab handle off..lol. yes its dirty, pa winter time sucks. Also will be doing the auto dimming rearview mirror and gm rear mud flaps friday

Upgraded from a 2016 Silverado to this 2020 GMC Sierra and wow am I in love with this thing!

I bought one 2 days ago. Have about 300 miles on it now. I love it. It has instant response compared to the 2.8 Duramax I traded in. Zero lag when you hit the throttle. It's smooth, quiet and efficient. Initial impressions very positive.

Westin hdx, yes its dirty. 200 miles in the snow, salt etc..!!

Thanks.

Few pics of my black RST

35X12.5X20 on 20X9 Mavericks 4” BDS Lift

Icon dynamics stage 1( coilovers, shocks) with rough country ucas, 1.5 rear block. The fronts adjustable from 1.5 to 3.5, they came set at 3 inch so I left it that way. It says they are preset to the proper preload heigth. Took 2 hours tops to do and drives about like stock, the rear bounced before but now it's perfect . The ride is firmer and handles like a racecar, no body roll anymore. It sits about 3/8 of an inch higher in the rear. I'll get a better pic. This is with 1/4 inch wheel spacers up front to give some room for the uca/tire. The tires are 295-60-20 fallen wildpeak at3w's. About a 34-11.50. The truck behind it is an 03 2500hd 37s, straight axled, 4 link coilovers. Approx 8 inches of lift and the 19 is really tall for just a 3 inch.

Thanks for the help, I was actually doing that but it was still going down but I realized the trick was I wasn't pulling gently outward as I rolled up the windows. Got them all up and it's looking great! Overall super easy minus the little hiccup..

2020 AT4 HD 6.6L Duramax Dark Sky Metallic Boss SS V 8'2" Plow I love this truck!

There are proper placement and camera angle that need to be followed. The camera needs to be in center of trailer and 4 inches higher than camera in tailgate when your trailer is attached. The camera angle needs to be about 35 degrees. So 0 degrees would be straight down, raise the camera 35 degrees from there. You generally don't want to be seeing the end of trailer or bumper. If you see any shadows in the rear trailer camera view, it will have trouble calibrating. You may have go in different direction. I recommend exiting the trailer app when calibrating and open camera app and select transparent view. There will be a yellow status bar on the bottom to show the calibration progress. I have never seen them calibrate in 60 feet it usually quite a bit longer. #iworkforGM

I know you guys will think I’m crazy but I fly for the Military in a fully digital cockpit. If we rush certain things on startup or change one step during the display boot sequence it can cause a number of issues that manifest during flight. This will cause us to either have to reset certain systems by pulling circuit breakers or shut down the aircraft and remove battery power then attempt to restart. Reading about the issue in that link seems like exactly the same issue. Most of these result around BUS driven electronics that require complex communication between different pieces of hardware. You might be mad that a $60k truck has these issues but I fly million dollar aircraft that experience the same issues.

Picked up my special ordered 2019 Trail Boss about 2 weeks ago. Loving it so far. Lots of mods already.
