Maybe I was bored but thought why not. They will come in handy on a dark boat ramp. Plus my kids think I’m awesome now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Washed winter off my 2020 AT4 5.3L with a Borla catback Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

had to pull the two brackets and the reservoir had to be unbolted and moved just to get the old battery out, plus the wires there is a quick connect one on the passenger side of the battery and one bolted on, once those are off you can push all the wires on the otherside out of the way. The new battery is the same size it just has more cca and is agm

Please PM me with some pics and further details about the 3 battery cables. Thanks.

That did it Phil. So the inside by the window goes in first and that keeps it in place with a slight twist. After you said that poof it was done. Thank you Phil! I love these mirrors.

Nice thing about not having anything is no one want's to take it from you. I came into this world with nothing. I have most of it left.

The trucks have a stock shim on the bottom of the spring back (thin end of shim toward rear of truck). Adding a tapered lift block cancels out the shim. Believe me, I tried EVERY combination and the rumbling/vibration is ever-present.

This would make sense. I originally wanted the RST but couldn’t find one the exact way I wanted it. LT was the way to go and the chrome bumpers have grown on me a lot. Was going to just replace but I’ll keep the chrome

Another big Thank You to Phil Gamboa !! Well worth buying the complete harness to have things go so smooth. DL8 to DL3 swap took me about an hour and a half taking my time. All functions working as they are supposed to. The power fold will take some getting used to ! Only problems encountered were working with old eyes and progressive lenses focusing in the door jambs and getting the old harnesses stuffed in the box to ship back for the refund !! Now I've got 3 of Phil's harnesses in my truck. First was the jump seat to console and now one in each front door for the mirror swap. Thinking about the auto dim rear view mirror since the DL3 driver's mirror a got is auto dim ready........ Thanks again Phil for sharing your knowledge and time for these upgrades !!

I grew up in New Jersey and my family always worked off road. We never had 4WD there. In Texas we made our living off road. Less than 1/2 my work vehicles were 4 WD. In my 40 years of working I probably engaged 4WD 1/2 of dozen times to get unstuck. Probably 10 percent of people who have them need it. That’s fine, free will. When ever the snow was still that bad in NJ we stayed home. I know if I live in buffalo I’d have it. Most people it’s a status thing, at least to them.

Focus Groups made of children making corporate policy. He talks about EPA and I ask how a 6.2 CCSB is more friendly than a 5.3 RCSB Like bratty children. They want what they want.

Hi all. Just a shout out to thank Phil for doing this. For any newbies he has my 100% backing as everything he says he can do, he does. I bought his harness about a year ago but just got around to exchanging them. 2015 (newer 15) 1500 silverado LT. Went to power folding, manual extending and they work great.

Convenience 2 is only available with buckets on trucks that can have buckets. If you want Convenience 2 with a bench, you need to get an LT or SLE.

Oh, I know. No worries. Just giving you a little bump towards buying them from RK instead. ?

Just picked up a 2020 RST

It's not bad but it isn't complete so already up to $450 with s/h. No trim pieces, no inserts, probably no wiring harnesses either or the bracket for bolting it down in the front. I bet by time you gather the rest of the pieces you're up to $6-7-800 depending on where you get them from. I'd rather fully support @pgamboa and get a quality harness plus a BRAND NEW (not "plastic may be scuffed") center console. I already responded to you in the marketplace but get in touch with @pgamboa. He sells new consoles with wiring harness and the '18 upgrade to wireless charging lid too.

You had me at 157. Loving this build thread. Keep up the nice job! Beautiful ride

Just bought a 2019 Sierra Denali Ultimate. 1,500 mile demo. $67,935 MSRP. Paid $53,500 + TTL. Pretty happy.

Sub'd. Loving these prerunner builds. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

I just had to change mine on Monday. Factory battery lasted just under 5 years. Not bad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

35x12.5 on stock wheels should have no rubbing, that's true. Many here have done that without issue. I had 295/65/20s installed with Fuel Blitz wheels 20x9, with +20 offset. I didn't concern myself too much with backspacing. Here is a side view. My truck is fully stock on the suspension. I had very, very slight rubbing on the front fender liners, but I was able to resolve that by pinning back the bottom edge of the liner using a zip tie on each side looped around the lower valance/bumper support.

Took the front chin spoiler off....looks MUCH better now!

I'm kinda late to the party but just purchased a 2020 Silverado with the 3.0. Couldn't be happier. I've had temps in the teens and it takes about two seconds for it to fire up. Mileage between 27 and 33 depending on speed and road. Fantastic power in the range where you need it. As far as the oil pump belt, It's supposed to last at least 150,000 miles. Harley uses drive belts to pull 800 pounds around and they last forever so I doubt turning an oil pump is much strain. And if you do have to replace it at 150,000 probably still an easier job than pulling the front of the motor to replace a timing belt or chain. I expect some growing pains with it being a new engine but so far it's smooth sailing. I traded in a 2019 Ram that had been in the shop 14 times in 12 months so.........

My wife is just not interested in the truck. She does not mind me spending time and money into it. This would in no way be a financial burden on our family or anything. It would be a hobby and interest she would not share with me and typically our hobbies do align. She also doesn’t want an ugly vehicle sitting in the driveway at the house but I have shop space at the farm. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like how everyone is freaking out about this belt change at 150k when you know damn well your only keepin it till the warranty goes out.lol

Exactly what I thought as well! It's kind of a cool "toy", but I don't really know a practical use for it. My first question was, "is there a way to open it if the battery is dead?" Answer, "charge the battery". I didn't think to ask, "what if the latch goes bad?" You need to open the tailgate to get the inside panel off to gain access to the latch! This will turn out to be a GM dud I'm thinking.

So most of my order came in from Zephyr Polishing and I thought I’d show anyone interested what I’m going to try and make some shiny parts with. On recommendation from a talented polisher I picked up the ultra shine kit, a couple different heavy duty wheels and a show stopper wheel. So armed with all this, a couple first hand tips from a friend and a few you tube videos I’m going to try and start by tackling those control arms Friday night. Wish me luck

installed a new Interstate AGM, cant be simple of course you have pull the reservoir

Based on my non scientific Google research the E number and 43r numbers have to do with Europe safety standards. The important things are manufacturer fuyao vs Vitro, and model number which is M7035 (original design on my 2019 leaker) and M1235 (new design on my 2020 that also leaked and was replaced with a like M1235 that hasn't leaked YET) Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

I love the chrome and I’m only 33. I think it looks really good on these trucks. They really nailed with with the LTZ and SLT trucks. I just got a chrome toolbox, and I think it really sets the truck off.

I am an old fart so I preferred the chrome on the GMC SLT

Picked up my truck last Saturday but I was away for work all week. Love this thing. 2020 LT Trail Boss 6.2

Thanks. First thing I did was ceramic after the very first wash. Had a detail shop for 10yrs so I do it myself using Adams products. Very happy with the rig so far. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In the middle of installing a front Focal Flax front 3 way component setup with one JLTW3 and did a full sound deadening and decoupling treatment with Dynamat extreme and some of that cheap noico stuff for the rear cab since the rear doesnt see as much of the heat. then later this week Il be doing a full paint correction, polish, and ceramic coating (what I do part time since Im in college). Should only take me 2 days since shes so new but I go panel by panel and utilize a 4 step process and am pretty meticulous about my vehicles. Also Im gonna be adding a ready lift leveling kit to the front, a magna flow exhaust, drop the kooks long tubes in the old girl drop and am contemplating one of those fancy badlands off roading bumpers well see tho gonna have to crank out a few more high end car this month to get the cashflow going for this hobby of mine.

Very nice! Classy and well coordinated! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You're welcome! The one i ordered (and posted the link to) does NOT come with the rear emblem also. And yes, the same part works for the 2019 AND 2020 trucks. Mine is a 2019

Here’s mine. 1.5”level 295/60/20 Ridge Grapplers on OE wheels. Debadged the Z71 and added it to the grill and Blacked out the RST and Silverado on the bed and added the Rough Country LEDs to the grill.

Tomorrow’s Instagram post ? @yuroshek

Tyler, just because you don't ever take your truck off of the pavement, doesn't mean the rest of the south keeps theirs on blacktop...I use my 4wd way more for mud and rain than snow...if this would be a topic about who owns snow chains, your quote would be relevant...

Tyler, The only thing I can guess about you is you don't fish, hunt, camp or go anywhere on vacation. I'm a hard core Cajun in South Louisiana and we are only 50 miles from saltwater. I laugh every time I watch some neophyte with a 2wd launch a boat at our boat landings. I have pulled more than one from the water or mud. We also have some woods and swamps that have what we call " Gumbo Mud". You will not access any of these beautiful area's with your 2wd unless you have plenty to eat and drink along with a good supply of mosquitoes dope. From the sound of it, you have never been off any road that is not covered with concrete or black top. You should not make such general observations with out having more road time. Take Care, Fairshake

Useless in the South? Hmmm, don't go off road much or hunt or go in the backwoods much? I went with a 2WD truck once! Regretted it every time I went in the woods. I'm a hunter and getting stuck was a monthly occurrence during hunting season here in NW Florida. Some really muddy, mucky, sandy roads around here! Trucks in general are a status symbol these days. I see a lot of squeaky clean 4x4 trucks driving all over. Not mine! New and caked with mud constantly!!!! Why? Because I take it off road and have use 4x4 almost every trip into the woods.

I went with the BakFlip MX4 and I love it. Easy install, low profile, and they have great customer service. They sent me a new cover when I contacted them when I noticed some of the rubber seals were cut too short on my cover. They sent a new cover no questions asked and it arrived within a few days. And if you have a Sierra with the upgraded rear view mirror, the camera for the mirror is not obstructed when the cover is folded up against the cab. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought that was the whole point of a trail boss- doesnt it come oem with a 2" leveling kit?

Hi there, I’ve been working on a comprehensive video on all of this with part numbers and explanations, diagrams etc. you have a few options that are pretty easy since you don’t have adjustable pedals. I just got my new X50A (under hood fuse box) in the mail and found a new relay for a second fuel pump. The reason I bought it was for the four AUX/Upfitter relays. This would be perfect for your application. If you can hang in there a few more weeks I’ll have everything complete and post the video.
