  1. I ordered this one NXTGEN Automotive. A fellow forum member suggested it. I haven't driven the truck enough to check out how clear it is. Honestly kind of disappointed something designed specifically for this mirror does not really "fit". The angle on the upper right corner is wrong so that it does not line up with the outer edges of the mirror. I thought about painting the clear outer frame flat black but decided to try it for a while first. It's supposed to be glass as opposed plastic so for 15 bucks it's worth a shot.
  2. 2020 Silverado 5.3 LT with 52,250 miles and no issues other than the idler pulley. Had the transmission flushed and fluid changed at 50,000 miles. My truck was a transfer from another dealer with 2,200 miles on it at the beginning of Covid. It's one of the trucks that has the DFM chip. My dealer had 4 trucks on the lot when their usual inventory was 100 + units. Made in Mexico ! 58 miles round trip commute from stop and go to 15 miles in I-10 at 75 MPH ( including the tunnel in Mobile ) . 23.2 MPG so far this week with 98-100 air temps ain't to shabby. 450 miles on the present tank of gas and have at least another 50 miles left. Best tank so far was 25 MPG and over 550 miles before refueling. it may go up in a ball of flames tomorrow but so far I'm pretty happy with it !
  3. You must be on the wrong forum.... everybody on this forum has had 157 lifters and pushrods replaced, is on their second engine and transmission replacement, third blown A/C compressor, second oil cooler line, third rear glass replacement, etc. , etc. in the first 40,000 miles ! Thanks for coming on and posting positive news !!! Congrats on the 100K ! I'm at 52K. Idler pulley and belt replaced and rear window leak fixed. 5.3 with 22.3 MPG average to this point. Reading most of this forum I expected mine to blow up out from underneath me like a cheap Chinese firework ! Fluid changes, belts and hoses, plugs, water pump, and the other things mentioned in other post should be the ticket. Most important do what you have been doing for the past 100K. Your truck likes it !!
  4. There's your problem, the Vulcan peed in your bed !
  5. Do you have a lawn sprinkler system at home or at work that "irrigates" your truck too ? I have a friend in Florida that had something similar happen the the whole front clip of the 2017 Silverado. Turned out the water in his neighborhood had a high iron content and his sprinklers doused his truck every time they turned on. The water dried quickly when it hit the hot sheet metal and left traces of iron behind. He ended up putting a filtration system in his water line. The truck was professionally cleaned with oxalic acid then buffed. Look good as new. I know this solution will not work with bedliner but your tap water may be the cause.
  6. Mine was the idler pulley. 2020 Silverado 5.3 with 49,500 miles. Sounded like an old power steering pump low on fluid and going bad. Dealer replaced the idler pulley and belt under warranty. Noise gone !
  7. 28 years in the Collision Repair Industry. Unless there was personal injury or death, your insurance company will pay off per their guidelines, write off their loss, and send the truck to a dismantler/salvage yard, Given the condition of the truck post fire it is not worth the insurance company's time and effort to investigate the cause of the fire. Manufacturer feels the same way. Cheaper just to pay off and move on. Cost/benefit ratio. The world we live in now.
  8. Go to the bottom of this link from McMaster-Carr. Plenty of sizes. https://www.mcmaster.com/foam-washers/
  9. But you still have all of the failure prone parts installed in your engine without the chip to enable them, and no option to add the chip. That $50.00 rebate is a slap in the face as far as I am concerned.
  10. I have to go into parking garages from time to time. The factory antenna has saved my roof a couple of times in poorly measured parking decks a couple of times. The sound it makes scraping across concrete gets your attention quickly. Like fingernails on a chalkboard.
  11. If "@GMCustomerService" was really interested they would contact me directly. I've seen them post this response to so many issues and never seen any follow up so it don't thing it's legit. As far as taking it to my dealer, in some far off fantasy land dealers supply loaners when you have to leave your truck in the shop for service. When that fairy tale comes true I'll leave my truck at the dealer. Until then I'll hope someone in this forum comes up with an answer.
  12. The difference in pedal height does take getting used to. At 42,000 miles I just about have it figured out ! If you have a manual tilt steering wheel it may also might be a telescoping steering wheel. I have to be honest and say my wife showed me this feature after she drove the truck for a week. When I got behind the wheel something was off. I could not figure out why I couldn't get comfortable until she mentioned she had moved the steering wheel back about 3 inches !
  13. 63 year old with 2020 LT and non-Bose system. Have used various lead spewing devices with limited hearing protection at times so .... I have also noticed the rear speakers in my crew cab have very little output. Maybe the truck is designed that way but I would prefer more sound coming from the back seat. The fader seems fairly useless as most of the sound comes from up front no matter how far I adjust the fader to the rear.. Granted my butt is normally planted in the drivers seat but I still would like to be able hear the rear speakers.
  14. Nice little teaser for those that like to go fast off road. Most notable to me is that a company that designs and builds suspensions chose to use a 17" wheel package with 37" tires. Nice sidewall height to help absorb impacts instead of those silly ass rubber bands on a blingy drum. Well played BDS !!
  15. May help, may not. I just went out and looked at my lower glovebox. Until I read your post I had forgotten it was lockable. The key only goes in about 5/8". Some of the "cut" still shows when the key is fully inserted. The key only turns 1/4 of a turn. Up and down is unlocked, sideways is locked. All of the mechanism is covered by the inner liner of the glovebox so there is no linkage exposed to get jammed. The pins that latch the box closed are totally surrounded and look impossible to get to from outside of the dash. The latch pins are right in that bend near the top of the glovebox door. Try pushing in on the ends while trying to turn the key. Your may need a second set of hands. Good luck !
