    I'd be a player at around 25k with the salvage title. Love the look. Well done. https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/7565558588.html

    Judging by the door lines, that's a Sierra. Unless Chevy is going to abandon that stupid swoosh front fender thing (hopefully). In any case this will be the biggest mid-cycle "refresh" in GM truck history. It's not going to look anything like it's predecessor, which is a very good thing. Looks like a box off the HD's, and different wheel well arches. Hopefully HD style. I hate the wonky arches on the current Sierra. Going to be big discounts on the pigs on the lot pretty soon.

    Probably going with another brand next time. The decontenting on this revised Sierra will be epic. Can you imagine how much the GM brass is hating having to step it up to compete with Ram? They will be cutting corners anywhere they can to offset what they are having to spend on the "all new" interior. And they still have those goofy ass wheel wells. The clown face on the current Sierra is what made me leave the '19 Denali I had reserved on the lot. So disappointing.

    They aren’t the first, but they are by far the worst.

    The painted trim hides the goofy fender lines much better too.

    K2's have a telescoping steering wheel as well. At least the SLT and Denali do. The current Yukon and Tahoe have both the turn signal indicator and the blind spot alert (both are yellow) in the mirror. I drove my brother's '18 Yukon SLT and they don't interfere at all. And the mirrors are smaller than the ones on the T1's. Decontenting is a way of life at GM.

    Read through the entire GM fleet order guide. Biggest omissions I’ve noticed so far: 1. No adaptive cruise, only “following distance indicator” as part of the “Driver Alert Package II” , not included with “Driver Alert Package I”. 2. HUD, 360 Surround Vision cameras and rearview HD camera mirror only available as an option on Denali as part of the CWW Technology Package. N/A on SLT. Pictures online suggest these will be available on the AT4. No mention of the AT4 in the guide. 3. No Z71 option. Now called X31 Off Road Package. Possibly only available on the AT4? As others have mentioned, 6.2 + 10spd only available on 4WD versions. Missing Adaptive cruise is disappointing but not a deal killer for me as I rarely even use regular cruise. If the AT4 has the CWW tech Package, I’m in.

    "" Will the MultiPro prevent itself from opening into mounted ball hitch?NO. This is the biggest issue we can see with the MultiPro going forward. The inner gate is fully susceptible to damage from a mounted trailer hitch. GMC does mention that a warning sticker will be present to remind owners not to do just this. Owners will have to remember going forward that if they leave a ball hitch mounted, the MultiPro WILL HIT IT. "" How freakin' STOOPID! For all the engineering that went into the tailgate, it seems no one was thinking about what it was actually going to be attached to. I keep my ball hitch mounted all the time as I tow a trailer a few times a week. I can't believe there isn't some type of failsafe for this. While I myself could probably remember to not open the tailgate with the ball installed, I'm sure my wife or kids would not. There will be MANY of these fancy tailgates with ball dents in them. They should just manufacture the dent into them.

    Someone asked me to repost the pictures. Not sure what happened to them, and I can't edit the original post, so here are the pics.

    Dead battery at 2 years, 8 months. Not too difficult to swap out if you know what you're getting into, but WAYYY more difficult that just replacing a battery should be. Watch the YouTube video where the guy flips the battery on its side when removing and installing. This way you don't have to move the coolant reservoir. Great tip. https://youtu.be/35ih6Ncd_Eg The worst part was the $250 battery, which was the cheapest one AutoZone had. 5 year, 100% replacement warranty though. ALSO, the guys (and gal) at my local AutoZone were great as usual. They offered to swap it out for me if I brought it back during daylight hours. Said it would take 30 - 45 minutes, as they had replaced several already. Doesn't hurt to ask!

    Does your charging lid charge, and does it show the indicator on the screen?
  13. TenofMe
    Sorry dude, I was just trollin'. The build picture was from some guy in Dubai. Said the dealer there did it for him. I don't have rear vents. People have been bitching about that since late-2013 when these trucks hit the showrooms. It's a glaring omission, but really, the ventilation in the rear of these trucks works fine. Even in Dallas in August. Doesn't look too hard actually. Fabbing up the plate would be the hardest part. Plenty of room to run ducts through the console.
  14. TenofMe
    Yeah, mine looks like this:
  15. TenofMe
    That's where my a/c vents are. I'd have to pick another location.
  16. TenofMe
    Cool! Post some pics if you can. It took me about 4 hours, but I'm real picky about where everything went. You can't see any non-stock components except for the two wires coming from the dust covers. You'll love the results.
  17. TenofMe
    Column shift is fine, I like the open console area free from driver controls. Keyless (proximity) entry and push button start would be nice. I hate my keys banging around on the column.
  18. TenofMe
    Mmm, well... Mostly, no. I had to adjust them slightly downward, and since them I haven't been flashed.

    Are you going to bake your lights open, or cut the back? I wand to add the FXRs now (since I finally decided to keep my '15 after I installed the Motimoto's, until the new model is released that is), but I think I'm going to buy a set off ebay to mod, then sell mine after the project is done. I want to add the Clearz marker light covers while I'm at it to get rid of the giant amber lens. I went with the 50w 5500K Morimoto kit and couldn't be happier. Absolute flamethrowers, with a nice sharp cutoff even with the stock projectors. I'm sure the FXR's will only make it that much better. A friend at work got a '16 with the LED's, which are VERY nice, but I think mine may even a tad brighter. And I just prefer the output of the HID over the LED. It's slightly warmer or something, even at the same K value. Can't quite put my finger on it. It is stupid that GM could fix all the '14 - '15 trucks for less than $200. I'm sure most owners would even pay for the fix it GM offered one...
  20. TenofMe
    It will be back. The fix works for a few months until the plastic shims get worn down. Then you just learn to live with it.

    I just installed the Morimoto 5500k HID kit with 50w ballasts yesterday, and all I can say is WOW! I have tried two different types of LED kits and both were just awful. The Morimoto kit was quite a bit more difficult to install, but worth the effort. I took my time and routed all the wires and mounted the ballasts and igniters so you can't see anything except the two wires coming out of the rear of the driver side light. The quality of the kit is first rate, too. Much better than any OEM setup I've seen. The light output is stunning, and there is a nice sharp cutoff even with the stock projectors. I'm sure the FXR projectors are even better, but this upgrade is still amazing. I may do the retrofit later, but I was limited on time this time around. The 5500 is pretty close to the LED DRL's, but the 4500K would probably a closer match. I wanted the color to match my LED fog lights, and the 5500K is perfect in that respect. Wish I had done this when I bought the truck 2 years ago,,,

    Has anyone purchased the 2016 HD headlights with the HID's from Gen5DIY? I want to know how they perform. I am considering this upgrade as a permanent solution to my lighting woes. At ~$1300, minus the $600 - $700 I get for my old ones (for the pair, per the going rate on eBay), that's a net cost of around $600. It's a lot of money to fix a factory design defect, but I think that is an acceptable solution. Still much less than trading for a new truck with a redesign I really don't like. I want to keep the stock look of my '15, just with better performance. I love everything else about my truck except the lighting.

    Only works on Alpine head units, not OEM. Really? No.

    Here is a direct link to the questionnaire you need to fill out and return to the law firm to join the class action: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B861RZB-8XeqS1R4dkxvVFk3cFE Fill it out and email it to [email protected] .

    It's a different projector in the housing, so even if the bulb fit, it would not perform the same. Guys, if you haven't spoken to the law firm handling intake for the class yet, I encourage you to do so. Even if you decide not to join, it may ultimately help get a solution to the problem. I asked them (the law firm) point blank what was the ultimate goal of the lawsuit. They stated that they want GM to offer a safe, reliable fix for the trucks on the road. The easiest fix is to swap headlights with a newer design that offers superior lighting, and have already been through DOT certification. Either the assemblies from the '16+ HD trucks, which employ new projectors and HID bulbs, or replacements from the '16 1500 series. Personally I'd prefer the HIDs from the HD trucks as I'm not a fan of the new design. Don't know if it will ever happen, but I have nothing to lose at this point as GM has slammed the door on offering a real fix on their own. Every time I drive my wife's 2015 Honda Odyssey with HID's I realize just how freaking awful the lights on my truck are.
