Got it this morning. Three weeks ago I started looking for a SLT with 3.0L Diesel. Today I drove home a Denali 6.2L, Carbon Black. Figured it's my first truck (bucket list) so might as well go all in!

picked up a K&N intake (the plastic one) for $50 on market place and installed it. ill be swapping out the filter for the dry one asap but for now it sounds AWESOME. I have the 6.2 and its silent when cruising but great sound when giving it some go. bought it purely as a noise maker and dont feel/expect any gains.

I hauled 1200lbs of concrete tonight. All the bags were stacked to the rear of the rear axle, so this is almost the worst case scenario: 1450lbs out of my 1660lb max payload. I’m very happy with the minimal squat with my setup. Front: Bilstein 6112 on the 4th notch 1.875” Rear: Bilstein 5100 with 1” taller block (2.25”)

If your 2019 looks like a 2018, its a Silverado "LD" aka Silverado "Legacy" model. You can look up as a 2018, but the official Chevrolet Accessories site can pull it all up properly with or without a VIN: https://accessories.chevrolet.com/search?year=2019&make=Chevrolet&model=Silverado 1500 LD&modelId=27208&body=Extended Cab Pickup&bodyId=18&wheel=Standard Box&wheelId=132&trim=LT&trimId=430&drive=4WD&driveId=8&engine=5.3L V8 FLEX&engineId=2059&bodyNumDoors=5 Aftermarket companies is where I can see confusion happening. As LDM pointed out, the 2019 "LD" trucks were produced to keep truck inventory on hand during the body style changeover. GM even ran 2018 crew cab 1500s all the way to December 2018 because the 2019 new trucks weren't hitting dealers until April-May 2019. The 2019 "LD" are all double cab only and were made to again keep a double cab configuration on the lots until they ramped up the T1 double cabs. This is not the first time GM has done this either. They did it in 2007 with the launch of the GMT-900. You could get a 2007 "Classic" which were GMT-800 trucks, and the same in 1999 and 2000 during the GMT-400 to GMT-800 changeover. People get mad at me on the phone when I ask them what body style 2007 they have when pulling up parts for one. They don't seem to grasp that it makes a big difference.

I’ll start..Picked up my HC Duramax yesterday. Installed Hostile 20x9 +10 with Nitto G2 295/60/20. Could easily go another size larger with no rubbing stock.

I picked up something new to tow. 2020 Haulmark, 6'x12' 6'6" interior height. 3500 gvw. My 2014 H&H 6x14 developed some severe rust under the bed liner spray they spray on the frame during manufacturing. One of the hinges on the ramp door cracked and broke free. There was rust everywhere underneath the trailer . Got them (Brinkmans in Delano MN)to take it on trade in. Good riddance ya rusty POS. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk That H&H had 200,000 miles on it and had been through war.

looks like they use AC delco.....not too excited about the "brand" but it will do. Jim Trenary Chevrolet Offers Service & Part Specials in O'Fallon.pdf

Well; gave it a try this morning and definitely made an improvement. Lowered them down to around 32 psi, immediately noticed a smoother ride. Thank you sir...

He got the Readylift UCAs with the SST kit. I’ve heard of people using RC arms, but I strongly recommend against them. I’ve seen some scary stuff with people using Rough Country in my shops. We actually refuse to sell/install their lift kits. Their other parts are ok but their suspension equipment tends to be subpar for very little savings

I calculated the mileage from the actual fuel I put in the tank and the display was right on.

Check out Crutchfield.com. I've bought a lot of home and car stereo stuff from them. They have great customer service - will get on the phone with you and help you figure out exactly what you need and also how to install it.

Hopefully whoever's styling the new front end wears their glasses this time.

So, a new to you truck, sounds like a variety of electrical problems, not specific to the radio, so I would suggest checking all the fuses, both underhood and in cab, then going through power and ground connections, removing, cleaning, reattaching them. But expect it to be a hassle to find, as most likely the P.O. ditched it because they couldn't figure out where the problem was and didn't want to spend the money on someone else to find it.

Congrats on your first truck... I am also first time truck owner and loving it. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

Hi. Just picked up a 2020 silverado trailboss w/a 6.2l. Shadow gray with black leather. Has everthing except a sunroof (oh well, could have waited), but these things are hard to find! Traded my ZO6 (already miss her!).

Good luck!

We just bought a Cougar 5th wheel - it's 9400# empty with GVWR of 11,500. Loaded to take to camp it towed awesome, but I don't think I'd want to be right at the 14k limit of a 2500 Gasser.

going to bookmark this setup for when my shocks eventually need replacing. this is perfect IMO

2020 AT4 with the 6.2, OEM performance exhaust and CAI upgrade. Riding on 33" Nitto TG's I'm averaging 15.4 at 6500 miles. I do step on it a bit I guess but there are a lot of highway miles on there. I usually put in on cruise at 74. Surprised to see the 18-20 averages... although I did pass my almost twin truck the other day, he was doing 60 at best, couldn't believe I saw the 6.2 badge on the side. I don't think my truck will even allow me to do less than the speed limit, ?

Thanks, I ordered it, I'll give it a try and see.

I think I'm finally done.. sticker $54,450, to 46,081. Rst crew cab, northsky blue, z71 and protection, all star, convenience 2, 20 inch wheels and black 4 inch running boards.

Another option - buy something like THIS: http://www.ebay.com/itm/233628394318 Ditch the trash mirror display and wire the camera end into the trailer tailgate with the transmitter and wire the receiver end into your stock system with a simple switch. Depending on the strength of the transmitter you may be able to do the switch/receiver wiring within the vehicle as to avoid water damage. The stock camera's in our K2's are just simple composite so any aftermarket composite camera should work no problem. I've hooked a satellite box into my camera line as a proof of concept to test it working. If this is something some of you might be interested in I'd be happy to test it out as a proof of concept. I know myself or @pgamboa would easily be able to make a camera/switch adapter harness which would almost make something like this plug n play for around $100 all said and done.

I was finally able to order these and install the same weekend, after daaaays of deciding between these Go Rhino RB20s or the NFab Podiums. Im glad I went with these Go Rhinos since its flat all the way through and that helps me wash and clean the top part of the truck without needing to watch my footing as much. The texture feels just like the line-x I have in the bed of my truck which I had done a few days after installing these boards. I tried to take pics of all angles and I think theyre badass!!

Removed stock exhaust and installed Borla ATAK cat back exhaust. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Got the new wheels and tires on. No rubbing, very happy with how they look and feel smoother than the stock tires. Hard to believe but I weighed the old wheels and tires and the new, and they are both 78lbs. 20200720_183533 by Rob Malaguti, on Flickr IMG_3574 by Rob Malaguti, on Flickr IMG_3611 by Rob Malaguti, on Flickr IMG_3584 by Rob Malaguti, on Flickr

Dropped these off to get mounted. Hopefully they are ready tomorrow. Ill snap some pictures once theyre on. Screenshot 2020-07-19 at 4.55.09 PM by Rob Malaguti, on Flickr

Thats a pretty cool feature in my opinion... My trailer doesn't have TPMS sensors, do you have to get certain ones to sync to the truck?

Hand wash and wax

Finally upgraded the radio and HMI in my 2014 Silverado. I had considered doing it for awhile, but when Indiana law changed to require hands free operation it forced me to go ahead and do it. I dont like mounts on my dash and always missed CarPlay in my truck. Chris White and White Automotive Media, if its more than just him, couldn't have been more helpful. I considered buying the modules from them and they helped me weigh the pros and cons. Ultimately, I rolled the dice on ebay after I found a few deals, but didnt change the level of customer service I received there which really says something about the company. Still a risk as I dont have a warranty, but I was fully aware of that when I went that route. They were still extremely helpful throughout and got my modules turned around quick. I couldn't be happier with my transaction end to end and will be considering the Denali cluster in the future! Dont be afraid to give these guys a shout! https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/product/2014-2015-5-c-k-platform-car-play-upgrade-retrofit-programming/ Also, for anyone on the fence about pulling/swapping the modules, it isnt hard. I grabbed these interior tools on Amazon, and probably didnt need them, but always meant to get a set. I have scratched plastics in other cars using screwdrivers. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KXN7LE6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Here is video I used as a primer for the swap, its really easy. You dont need to do everything that was in that video depending on what your upgrade was. Mine was just the radio and HMI.

The handle/button furthest right with the biggest number (not the Green one) will work just fine.

Octane offerings are based on altitude. In high elevation areas only 91 is offered. https://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1601859 https://www.vroomgirls.com/all-about-octane/ Your 6.2l truck will be just fine on 91 octane.

Just had front end PPF done on my new '19 Sierra and the detailer added a round of Feynlab Ceramic Lite. Looks real good. Only had a week or so, so can't comment on longevity, but the couple of storms we've had this week, the aquaphobic properties were obvious and better than anything I'd ever been able to achieve with wax before. Looking forward to see how easy she is to wash next weekend. Sent from my SM-G973W using Tapatalk

I know he is super busy. He was on vacation last week and will be playing catch up for sure...plus he works a regular job. He responds as quickly as he can. Great guy to me so far.

Oklahoma weather was not in my favor this weekend. Rained Friday early afternoon then got way too hot so had to wait til early this morning to finally finish up detailing this thing. 69/10 glad I went back to chrome

Bought some 3 light led strips and wired them into the 3rd wire (gray) of the white colored plug under the dash closest to the driver’s seat. Works great.

Had the truck detailed, paint decontaminated, buffed, polished and ceramic coated. A crew worked on it for 3 days. Paint is looking flawless! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Current build

New to the forum, coming from an F150 and having always owned Fords, this is my first chevy. Just picked up a new 2019 RST crew. Love the color, and the variation it has depending on lighting. Goes from very blue to almost black. Definitely a sharp color. Get a lot of compliments on it. Surprisingly I dont see many in this color in my area. Always white black or red.

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

I had a 2.5" level kit installed along with 1" blocks in the rear. I don't have an issue with the ride.
