    I just put a deposit down on a 2022 Red Hot LT. I'm really liking what you did with the front grille. what were the parts and I'm assuming you had the dealer paint the bar cover Red Hot. Can you give me the details? I'm expecting to get my truck just before thanksgiving.

    I know that on trips from my home in North East Texas to College Station I averaged 25-27 mpg. Dependent on traffic and how big of a hurry I was in. Included in these measurements was my around town driving in CSTAT. I'm going to use those trips as a baseline and report back after I make two or three of them. With Football season over for my Aggies this could take awhile. I've been looking at different tires to exchange with the stock tires. I have a hunch that tire weight has a bigger impact than Aerodynamics on MPG. I've run the Wrangler SR-A's on my 2014. Hated them. I've also run the Cooper Zeon's on my 2007. Loved those tires. But I think my Mileage suffered.

    Before and After. GM Part number 84993582 Trail Boss Lift kit installed on a 2021 Short Box Z71 3.0 Duramax. Currently running stock wheels and tires. 275/60/r20. I think the After picture is skewed causing it to look like it's dragging a bit. I'll get to see it tomorrow when I get home.

    Does this setup rub any? I'm installing the GM TB Lift and I'm looking at keeping my wheels like your.

    I’m getting this code very often since we started getting cooler here in Texas. I’m going to look for this issue in the morning. Thanks for your post.

    My Opinion it's all about Margin and not about marketing. If they were to make a single short wide available here in the USA they would loose sales on Colorado's and entry level crew cabs. They make a higher margin on these vehicles. So to keep their profits high they don't sell these trucks here.

    Mine covers the stake holes and I have to lift it up slightly to gee the tail gate to close. It sounds like you have a cover for a shorter bed. I can get you pictures and measurements this evening.

    I recently bought a used GM Tri-fold soft/hard cover. I've run the truck through two car washes and have had no leaks so far. The person I bought it off of was changing it out for a quad fold that he could open front and read of the bed. Really pleased with this top.

    Pontoon boats are big air sails. Are you towing it with the top up? Check and see if you can lower the awning for towing and storage. I routinely pull a scout trailer loaded to the gills. The only time I had trouble was when a surge brake was hung up and dragging me back. I pulled into a parking lot and back the trailer up about 200 feet to clear the brake. Everything all good after that. Double Post edited away

    As a Scout Master, thank you for pulling the troop trailer! Typically it is hooked to my bumper. I also run a higher octane when pulling the trailer or just going on long trips. I've noticed it does make a difference. It always amazes me how much that boy scout trailer can weigh, then take a group of 12 to Philmont and you can go in 2 suburbans, no trailer and the rear doesn't even squat. Truck / Trailer camping is so much heavier.

    FIXED!!!! Just picked up my truck and I can finally say that my seat issue has been remedied. They installed the clips and lubed the appropriate places. No more seat shift!

    Dropped by the dealer this morning. Finally got the service manager to pull the bulletin and my parts are now on order. May be I get this fixed before we hit 40K miles.

    Update on my truck. The ticket is still open on the seat issue on my truck. The owner of the dealership told me they are researching what needs to be done to correct my issue. All of my other problems have been taken care of. Even the tire pressure sensor. Embarrassingly it appears I may have had a small leak in that tire.

    I just dropped my truck off at the dealer for the transfer case recall. Again I listed the seat movement issue with the service writer. I also listed a pressure sensor going bad on the right front wheel. It constantly is reading 27psi... When my tire gauge and house compressor shows it at 35. Something may get done this time, the service writer seemed very knowledgeable about the seat, the recall and the sensor.

    You guys bring up a good point. I've lost 25 pounds since January and man, my seat doesn't seem to move near as bad. I suppose if I'd loose another 20 like my plan is it will not move at all...
