  1. Searched the thread, but didn't find what I'm looking for.. Is anyone running the Silverado Spec Morimoto kit in the factory REFLECTOR housings? I'm looking at the 4500k H11A kit.

  4. Mine has crank windows..
  5. Do you know a part number or what it's labeled as? I called my local auto zone and the guy had no idea.
  6. The big thing to me is the huge markup on options and accessories. Don't buy more than you absolutely have to from the dealership. I bought a 2WD RCSB WT, only options being the locking diff and mud flaps (didn't even want the flaps but they were there). I would have paid the $800 or so for the convenience package, but all the RCSBs around that had it were LTs or LTZs for $3-10k more with options I didn't want, and wouldn't pay for. I would have even preferred the vinyl seats instead of cloth, but those were nowhere to be found. (If you're local and have vinyl and want cloth, PM me ) I paid just under $18k for mine, plus local taxes came to about $19,200 (employee pricing + incentives + $800 trade-in). The other stuff that I do want, I'm adding myself for much less than getting them through GM. My wheels+tires were only $1200, plus I sold my factory ones for $600.. BedRug was $325 shipped on eBay (it's $490+tax at my local dealer). Doing a semi-DIY hard folding tonneau for about $300. Keyless entry and remote start is $200 installed at Best Buy (<$80 if you DIY, but I don't like messing with wiring).
  7. Is anyone else having the low speed vibration with 2" drop shackles on their 2014? It's a very mild vibration from about 25 to 32 MPH. After a quick search, it seems fairly common on other years. I'm wondering if lowering 1" with the shackles and removing the blocks will cure it as it seems to have to do with the angle caused by the 2" shackle drop. Also, mine is still about 1.4" higher in the rear with the drop. (2WD RCSB) I'm fine with it, but thought I would let people know for reference.

  9. Posted a stock pic of mine a couple months ago. Here's an updated pic with tint, BedRug, and wheels/tires. Just picked up wheel house liners but haven't put them on yet. Tonneau cover coming next. Then drop shackles. Then some silver paint on the front bumper.
  10. Sounds like the norcal fender mod would do the trick.

  12. I let it warm for about one minute when I leave for work. I'm not upset or complaining about the fuel mileage. I was just hoping for a little better. But, like I mentioned, there are several things that I think are contributing to my mileage. I'll be happy if it eventually averages 17-18 in cold weather and 19-20 in warmer weather.
  13. I'm a little disappointed in mine so far. It's only at 646 miles, so I realize it should go up some, but as of now my average is 15.2 MPG with about 70% city driving. I'm sure this is also partly due to being a winter fuel mixture, and my daily commute is about 3 miles round-trip. Aside from my current fuel mileage, I have absolutely no complaints about getting the V6. I don't tow and only haul light loads, so the extra $$ for the V8 isn't worth it for me. I've driven several of the previous generation GM trucks with 4.3, 4.8, and 5.3 motors, and my butt dyno can't tell a difference between the 4.3 V6 in my 2014 regular cab short bod and the 5.3 V8 in my dad's 2002 extended cab.

  18. Here's mine. It's a base model (only option is locking diff). Got it on 12/05 and I love it. I'm planning to do some color matching. Will be starting with the upper section of the front bumper and the center section of the rear bumper. Just need to find someone to paint it for a reasonable price.
