  1. Your bar blends with the truck and looks like an extension of the cab, it looks good but the black on white sticks out like a sore thumb. Like said the darker color body works, remember the chrome "roll" bars from the 80s....same problem, just a rusty 3 piece eye sore. This does look good on your truck, I'm a cap guy as long as it's cab high and looks like an extension of the truck.
  2. Your right, the 2020 looks horrible, the hood drops to nothing, not like the 19 and under, the round fender wheel openings look like a suburban. The square body rules, don't make a truck look like an SUV. I want a big fat front with a big tall grill, its exactly why I went from an F250 to the GMC. Sorry GM, you just don't get it, if I want a Tahoe I'll buy one, if I want a truck it better look like one.
  3. The middle is the only difference, you may have a subwoofer that may need to be relocated. I have the middle seat, the best part is being able to pass thru and the middle seat bottom is a big lockable storage box. That and the top box makes it really nice. In the top box are 2 USB ports and a 12v plug so there is wiring there too. I'm sure it can be done but it may cost a lot.
  4. I Get it, we are still a ways away from pollen but I know what you mean, it can really mess things up. Its always nice to see a cloud of pollen blow up over your hood. ?
  5. You said "now it's yellow". I'm not seeing any yellow.
  6. Those really are nice. They really work and seem to be out of the way, I have a cap so I never use these for steps. These with my side mirror lights would turn night to day. Good functional improvement.
  7. Mine squeak first thing backing out of the driveway but then they are OK, and it doesn't happen all the time. You should do a pad slap and use a ceramic pad, they worked for me on my Excursion. You can scuff up the rotor with sandpaper to get the glaze off then just take it easy for the first few stops. This is a cheap and easy "try" that you can do yourself.
  8. I tried to modify a marine battery box to fit there as covered, kind of waterproof storage, but by the time I hacked the box up to fit there was no room to put anything in it. I'm used to an F350 with 2 group 65 batteries. These are 1/2 the size. The new LED lights help a lot, the last truck was a Diesel with lots of aftermarket draw stuff, it ate batteries and alts like candy, finally added another alt from the ambulance package and it worked....2 185 amp alts.
  9. Yup, you can spread the grease around and not worry about arcing across terminals. It can get messy but if you don't go overboard you will be OK. It's helps the plug slide easier too so it does not pull the plug out of the bumper....which by the way is a poor design, you have to hold the male end so the female end does not rip it right out of the bumper plastic trim. But it is better than Ford where it is sideways and very close to the receiver pin.
  10. Dielectric grease. Jam the pins with it. Pack the flat 4 too, in MI with salt it will turn into green dust if you don't.
  11. That sounds like a bad ground.
  12. That's what it sounds like. Maybe I'll see if I can turn them down or move them. No sense throwing a new horn at a bad design.
  13. Mine too, when it's cold it seems worse, just like you said one tone. It was at the dealer and they said it was fine but it is intermittent so it may have worked for them. I'm kind of a horn guy, you don't get much time to screw around and I am on you. If I could put train horns on I would be in jail for depraved indifference from causing a heart attach.
  14. Still in its early stage. It usually takes me a few years to get my trucks to where I want them. Last truck was 13 years old with 300,000 miles. It was an 03 Excursion. Every year I take a big swing at it; lift, tires/rims, bumpers, stereo, lights and constant little things. This is a clean slate, I am always excited to drive my truck, I park way far out to avoid dents but to also have a chance to take a long look at my truck as I walk to it. I think this body style, be it Chevy or GMC, has the best lines of any truck and when done right with lift and tires/rims looks beautiful.
  15. I'm not a big fan of drive by wire for steering. I know a steering shaft can have problems but in my 40 years of driving that has never happened. I want a mechanical solid link, not a wire. I know the 16 still has a shaft but the assist is a wire and is causing problems. Stop the "driver assist" of everything from parking to braking, don't take the experience of driving away, if you don't want to pay attention to your driving then TAKE THE BUS!!
