  1. Mine did this 2 days before the first update came out and stopped after the update. This past Thursday I got another update when I shut down the truck in my driveway. I had not been having any issues prior to this latest update. Both updates came unprompted when I shut off the truck took and both took 10-15 minutes. I have no clue how this all works but glad it does !
  2. No skin in this game cause I'm too old to worry about having a race truck but I wonder if anyone has reset the trims on a 5.3 then run straight 93 octane compared to running the 87 octane to see what difference it makes in performance. Would the trims boost the power to compensate for better fuel and how much ? Just how smart is AFM ?
  3. 3 types of lies: "Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics."
  4. 2020 Silverado LT.
  5. Magically, he's done it again with the windshield in place !!! Honey, I'm going to buy another $50,000 truck and before I have it a week I'll completely remove the dash....
  6. I had a 2016 Regular cab short bed with a stock 5.3 and 3.42 rear end with factory locking diff for a couple of years. In the rain it was like driving a go cart. You had to get used to driving sideways. Lopping another 10-12 inches out of the wheelbase and doubling the horsepower should make things even more interesting. I would love to see pictures of the shortening process. Many years ago my Dad and I shortened an F-250 crew cab 4WD down to a regular cab short bed. The frame had to be shortened 33-1/2", the brake line had an extension in it that we took out and connected the line back together, there wire 6 wires that had to be shortened, and the driveshaft had to be shortened. Things were a lot simpler in 1979 !
  7. Looks like a T-bar lift system for a jeep hardtop or something similar. See the pulley in the center ? Phil saves his magic for the electrical stuff !
  8. Looks like a long bed regular cab is about to be shortened......really shortened. Sounds like a fun project !
  9. Why don't you try something challenging next time ! ?
  10. Might be worth a shot to contact these folks: https://www.gruvenparts.com/shop-by-car/gm-truck They made placement motors and gears for earlier generation of the trucks. Pricey, but beat plastic parts hands down.
  11. If you want to do any performance tunes think again about the Tahoe. Hennessey Motorsports in Texas tried for 3 days to crack in to one to tune it and gave up. They said if you want a GM SUV you can tune buy a pre 2021. The GM trucks are headed down the same path in 2022. For me it's not a problem since mine will stay stock. It seems to me GM is doing everything they can to lock the vehicles down and force us to go to dealers for service, and even the dealerships are sometimes not fully capable of repairs without assistance from GM. Like the Nissan commercial says, you have never had so much technology in your driveway. Sometimes that is not a good thing.
  12. It's a joke. DRL's (Daytime Running Lights) were set to hyperflash or strobe for attention in both of the videos. Some producer's gimmick that makes just about as much sense as your truck hydrolocking driving through a parking lot.
  13. I just took the time time to watch both of the Trail Boss videos in the earlier post and I may have found the problem. The OP probably didn't have his DRL's set to strobe ! I didn't see that option on the spec sheet but it must be needed for water crossings !
  14. I just drove 15 miles in rain so hard that you couldn't see the lines on the road, folks still on the road had their emergency flashers on, and drove through some 2-3 inch deep puddles at 40 plus MPH. 2020 Silverado LT 2 wheel drive, 5.3 with 8 speed. 8,000 miles and bone stock. Truck was running just fine when I shut it off in the driveway at home. I'm really curious what happened to the OP's truck.
  15. The Rough Country liners I got for my 2016 were more like a do it yourself kit. Like Mac-427 I had to cut a couple of inches off of them to make them fit. They were okay to keep the rocks from chipping the paint but were loud. Some don't like the factory liners but at least they deaden some of the noise. The Rough Country liners just change the pitch.
  16. I got the notification through the My Chevrolet App. It sure doesn't inspire confidence that a seat belt may not be connected to anything. Here's the thing that really makes you crazy. According to the recall dated December 23, 2020 GM knows there is a problem with seatbelts but they will not start notifying owners of the affected vehicles until February 1, 2021. Below is direct from the recall: "GM says in government documents that the seat belt brackets may not have been secured to the seat frame. That means the belts may not properly restrain people in a crash. The company says it doesn’t know of any crashes or injuries. GM will notify owners starting Feb. 1 and dealers will inspect the seat belt brackets and assemble them correctly." So it's okay to drive around with a seatbelt that you are legally mandated to wear for your protection that may not be fastened to anything until February 1st. Everything going to be okay ! The logic at Government Motors is frightening.
  17. My list is short. Full floor console parts list for the conversion with a good source. Mirrors similar to the DL3 on the K platform. I miss the turn signals, power fold, and puddle lamps but really don't want or need towing mirrors. Not a fan of the blind spot monitors. I will probably go this route unless you come up with something better: https://www.adcmobile.com/product/multi-camera-interface-for-gm-vehicles-w-8-screen/ Eventually a power passenger seat may be thrown into the mix if not tooo difficult.
  18. I like the fact that his post came through 3 times so there is no doubt he is here !!
  19. Welcome Phil !! Ever since I traded the 2018 for the 2020 I've been hoping you would make the change and start working your magic on the T1's !! I am looking forward to see what improvements you have in store. Please see what you can do with your connections to get a package together for a full floor console swap. I have been searching the only choice seems to be to order the pieces and build one. Not sure if you were in the habit of using your emergency brake on the 2018, but I was and at 8,000 miles my left leg still tries to set the brake on the 2020 every time I stop ! I had a truck that color lined up until I saw the Red Hot in person. Decided to do something different. Enjoy your new ride.
  20. Me thinks the blocks or the bolts won't matter either. Once the pretensioners in the seatbelts (which are mounted securely in other locations ) activate in a wreck neither the seat nor it's occupant will move very far. Arms, legs , and head will move but the torso will remain in place. The occupant will find unbuckling the seatbelt difficult because of the 3-4 inch instantaneous and irreversible shortening of the seatbelt by the pretensioners in a collision. Look at the outboard mounting point of your seatbelt. That piece of cable wont be visible at any occupied seat after a collision.
  21. I've never done it because I am more than happy with the performance of my 5.3, but has anyone done a true comparison of a 5.3 running 87 octane vs one running 92 octane ? Add an aftermarket CAI and exhaust and make all of the V-8 sound you want.
  22. Terry Thompson in Daphne has: 8-Custom 2-High Country 4-LT 6-LTZ 8-WT https://www.terrythompsonchevrolet.com/searchnew.aspx?Type=N&Make=Chevrolet&Model=Silverado 2500 HD&pt=2
  23. keith86, Are you looking for gas or diesel ? Sandy Samsung in Pensacola has 3 diesel LT's. Terry Thompson in Daphne has a few diesels and one white gasser, all LT's plus they have other trim levels too. If you decide to go to Terry Thompson let me know. I've been buying from a friend of mine there since 2005 and I can steer you his way. He shoots straight and doesn't waste your time.
  24. Problem is some of the packages you have to order to get what you want sometimes include features you don't want. If you consider that, some of the trucks on the lot might as close as you will get to what you want. Carefully go through the build and price and watch what options change as you add or remove a "package". Some will leave you scratching your head. It's not like the good old days when you could actually order only what you wanted and nothing more. We live in the world of "bundled" features.
  25. It's a terrible color ! Don't by a truck this color.. unless you find one !
