That really sucks Penguin. Jeez a person can't let their guard down at all these days. Hope your truck gets fixed alright and that your lady gets her IDs and Credit Cards taken care of.
Very nice indeed Daly???
Congratulations on your new truck.
If I didn't have a giant creature for a pet I would probably go the same route with a RCSB Z71. Would look pretty goofy rolling around town while he slobbers the window or gets close to me. Do not think girls will dig sharing space either.
Today took the truck to my friend's shop for an oil and filter change, tire rotation, and a chassis lube. Not in the mood to sweat in triple digit heat to perform the oil change.
What a bummer Gesweck. My seat cover was replaced on the driver's side. The GF left the seat all the way up so when I got in I immediately got off to adjust seat, heard a pop sound and noticed a 3/4 inch tear just ahead of where yours tore. Took it in to my local dealer and they covered it under warranty along with my passenger side headlamp which had major condensation inside.
Hope your controller install goes fine. From someone who regularly pulls a 12,000+ pound gooseneck trailer for work I want the controller and it's functions in an accessible location. Does no good hidden away somewhere or out of reach where I can't see it in an unforseen scenario.
14 Silvy I rather like the look with the valance in place. Just me but truck looks unfinished without it IMO. As for the billet grille if it does not require permanent modification do it otherwise hold off. Guy who manages the used car department of local Chevy dealer said they deducted at least $750 or more on trades with billet grille. Not everybody likes the look and even at cost they are not inexpensive to revert back to stock.
Another user mounted his P3 inside the cubby as shown. If I were to mount mine again this is where I would do it. Hated banging my knee on controllers with other trucks previously. The 2014 All Terrain was nice since it had the JL3 integrated brake controller.
Good looking rig Henderson??
Reasonable mods price wise to consider are:
Morimoto GMC Spec HID Kit
Morimoto XB LED foglights
LED Light Bar Behind the grille
If you are ever out in the sticks these 3 mods will light up the night quite well.
Great looking trucks!??
I was considering going from my current CC to a DC T1 but these RCSB have me rethinking things. If my personal life remains as is, I would seriously consider a RCSB Z71. Don't know how silly I will look with my beast of a dog but oh well.
Sorry for your troubles MFerry. If you paid for them to install a 12909 make sure they get it handled correctly. My guess is either:
1. A not too bright employee just did a hack job and put whatever Magnaflow was closeby on
2. Shop deliberately put on a less expensive muffler and charged for the 12909.
There is a good price difference between a 5x11" muffler in 3.5 inch inlet/outlet and a 4x9" 2.5 or 3 inch inlet/outlet
Make sure you get what you pay for.
Here is a thread regarding the D5S bulbs like the one's on your friends Denali HD.

You may try adjusting the stock headlights up a bit first and see if this helps. Several trucks I have seen have them aimed too low from factory. Keep in mind the driver's side should be lower to keep from blinding oncoming traffic.
Have your friend buy a set of Morimoto XB LED foglights. They do make a difference in light output and won't blind others with glare like those running HID/LED bulbs in place of stockers.
Friend's wife had her 15 Tahoe LTZ magnetic ride control shocks replaced under warranty and she states the difference in ride was night and day. Went from stiff and hard as a dump truck to smooth as an old Cadillac. Check yours out for signs of leaks which would be an indication they are bad.
4 new 5100 Bilstein shocks will set you back in the $310-$350 range YMMV.
If you are concerned about the rear of the truck squatting while towing just have them set the front shocks at 2nd setting. Do not have them install any rear blocks or it will still look "tail" high.
Good luck and post up some pictures of your truck once it has new tires and level.
