  1. I had a 2017 Suburban with it and the fronts failed at 50k. My mechanic wanted $2600 JUST FOR THE FRONT. I bought parts independently, installed them myself, and saved $1600. Then I traded the Suburban off for my Silverado. It never did feel right. The wife has a 2016 Tahoe with the same system and nearly the same amount of miles. It hasn't failed yet, but when it does, I'll be swapping to standard struts and shocks and using a bypass kit (to prevent lights and error codes) from here: http://shocksims.com/. I would say the ride with Magna Ride is marginally better, but my 2020 Silverado LTZ rides as good or better with a standard suspension. And, I can't see spending $4K-$5K every 50K miles to replace the shocks, especially when I hit 50k in two years on the Suburban. The cost isn't worth it to me.
  2. Maybe because the hood is up? I'm sure there is an alarm and indicator for that on the DIC. Try shutting the hood (and not pinching the Tender) and see if that fixes it. EDIT - Just saw you asked about running with the hood closed in your last line. Yes, I'm sure that's it.
  3. Yeah, I was looking at the same thing. They show you the harness poking out of the hole, but don't show you putting the tee into the bed light harness. The bed lights can be installed after the truck is built, so you just need access behind the driver's rear tail light. See this guy installing them: My assumption is you pull the tail light, unplug the bed lights, plug the new harness in between, and also up through your new hole in the bed. Also, since you tap into the trailer harness for power, assume you are backfeeding the system, so you are taking the interior switch (and it's power distribution module) out of the circuit.
  4. Cool. I couldn't gauge the size. The website says they are for the front only. I've already spent the money and installed the others, so no crying for me now, but I wish I had seen these.
  5. These don't work on the rear. The rear holes are oblong slots....
  6. THIS. My truck didn't come with the liner sprayed in and I asked the dealership to remove them BEFORE they had them sprayed. They didn't. I should have just done it myself, but figured - HEY, I bought the truck from them. I took the truck back and they hacked them out and it just looks bad. Doesn't hurt anything since I was putting tiedowns in all of them anyway, but it drives me nuts. Pull them out. Spray. Reinsert the ones you won't use the holes. They'll pop back in.
  7. I'm not sure they are the OP's design or not, but I got mine here. https://switchsuspension.com/chevrolet-silverado-1500-2019-2021-front-rear-mud-flap-delete-kit/ WAY too much money for what you get, but I *needed* the back ones. I added an AMP bed step and depending on the installation hit either the running board or rear Aero flap. I removed the flaps, but couldn't stand the look of the holes so I bought these. I only used the rear, so if anyone needs just the front pcs, I may sell those...
  8. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This.
  9. Exactly this. I don't have huge hands, but they are thick.... Just have to find the right combination of twisting your hand and your tongue at the right angle...
  10. Excellent. I've been thinking about these as well. Looking forward to pics.
  11. Since the flap is spring loaded with a seal, I can't imagine contamination being a huge issue. Plus there is a door over the full cap as well. I have seen other posts about a locking cap replacement, but honestly, I love the fuel-through cap. 60k on a Suburban woth it and no issues. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I had no issues, but to be fair I didn't apply the sticker as hard-ass as I normally would. I pressed it into place and made sure it was stuck. Time to change and I picked the corner with a fingernail and it came off clean. Applied the next the same way. Just don't use a scraper or bad on it.
  13. I like the bed rug. Shortbed? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Yep. I'm in the Tomball area and had my Suburban done twice (had to replace the windshield) and never heard a thing about issues, waivers, etc. Oh, and it was GREAT. Kept the heat down considerably.
  15. These. They are fantastic.
  16. Can you tell me how you formatted the card? I used exFAT and it won't work. Thanks!
