  1. Sold my 2014 silverado, had my weather tech mats and bed cover still after selling. It is the short bed, 5ft 8inch bed. I know it fits on the 2007-2013 models as well, as we tried it on my dads 2010 silverado. Its a soft roll up one, dont know the brand. Mats are $80 for the fronts and back, $200 for the bed cover. Also have the black grille, $250. Can ship at buyers expense because its in a box that my new one came in. Located in Plano, TX local pickup only
  2. 75K on my 2014 5.3 V8 and no issues with the engine. Small stuff like AC condensor around 60K but the big kicker was my lovely transmission went out at 73K miles 4 months out of the 5 year 100K warranty. Otherwise trucks been good
  3. I have this on my truck. 2014 with 73k miles, has been on since new. Never had any issues with the lift and the truck still rides very smooth. I've taken it on many road trips as far as colorado (from dallas) as well and still rides nice and comfortable. It has factory front shocks too. What I like most and has been said above is all the angles are great with the lift, so it will help with wear on those parts. Even though this has nothing to do with the lift, I HIGHLY recommend the nitto ridge grapplers for tire selection. These tires are amazing. They look tough but have almost no road noise. I had nitto trail grapplers before and it wasnt too bad with noise at first but I put about 10K miles on them and they got pretty loud. I sold them and got the ridge grapplers and I will never go back Only thing is my transmission went out this week cost of doing cool stuff to your truck I guess
  4. If you hold down the trailer setting on the shifter (button on the end of column shifter to put truck in trailer mode, which keeps the truck in a lower gear for longer time) you can turn grade braking off. Not sure why you would want to do this but it is a feature. Grade braking i think is when you are going down a grade and the truck will downshift to help slow the truck down. correct me if im wrong but itll come on every once in a while if i am coming in hot or pulling a trailer
  5. Bumping this post by giving a update on my truck just rolled to 70,000 miles on my 2014 5.3 V8. It has been lifted 6” on 35s since new, I bought with 38,000 miles two years ago. Matinance has only been oil changes always done at 6k miles and frequent tire rotations. At least every 6k miles sometimes 3k problems: The AC compressor went out around 45,000 miles the transmission coolant line in the front was leaking, replaced like and no issues (68,000) Alternator went out around 60,000 miles I got a superchips programmer, which is a must for a lifted Silverado. Truck drives way smoother on the highway as it actually stays in 6th gear going down the highway rather van bouncing between 5th and 6th also, if you are deciding between nitto trail grapplers versus nitto ridge grapplers, go the ridge. I was on the trail graps for about 10,000 miles and once they wore a little they got pretty loud on the highway. I’m at around 10,000 on these and they are much quieter and comfortable, yet still look aggressive like the trail graps. ive done a roadtrip to Colorado from Texas with the current set up and it was very smooth and comfortable . Depending on the wind direction, I get about 12-15 on the highway
  6. 6” on 35s. Fuel couplers -12 offset with the tinted spokes. Looks great with the brown matches well!
  7. I have a 2014 5.3 v8 with 6” on 35s. I bought it with all this on already and on the highway I always was jumping between 5th and 6th gear and was getting super annoyed. I finally went with the superchips flashpaq and it changed the way it drove. Definitely recommend it for anyone who lifts their truck. It can adjust a lot of things like tire size, which adjusts the speedo correctly, and has a couple preprogrammed tunes. I always drive in the mileage saver one which is tuned to save on gas and it’s amazing. I was going from 10-12 mpg to 12-15. Adjusting for the 10% off from my tires, I jumped about 2-3mpg overall. There’s also towing and performance tunes as well but I never use them. You can also change throttle response and shift points etc etc. best one out there because it’s only about $350 and doesn’t void the warranty. I believe it’s the 2845 that I have. Also yes, you can turn the AFM off.
  8. For those who like to drift in the snow or need to turn off the traction control in sticky situations, hold down the traction control for about 5 seconds and the stabilitrak will also turn off, which turns off the traction control "even more". If stabilitrak is still on it will not let the wheels spin freely. This also works for other trucks as well, especially fords. This came in handy for the rental in colorado for doing donuts in the parking lot haha
  9. looks great! Id like to do something similar to mine
  10. my 2014 Silverado color matched to brownstone metallic !
  11. 53,800 miles. 1950 hrs
  12. it happens to me every time my truck doesnt start and the battery is dead (had a bad battery for too long and just kept jumping it lol) but after driving and turning the truck off it'd go away
  13. Looking to trade my 2014 chrome bumpers for any painted 2014-2015 ones... looking for brownstone metallic but anything is fine. Also if anyone knows anyone who may have bought a full bumper replacement like a ranch hand and has their old high country color matched bumper I'd be interested. Something someone might be interested in is trading my black mesh grille for their chrome mesh grille. Attached a image of my truck for anyone who would be interested in that. I am from the Dfw area Update: I can't find a picture small enough to upload, so a picture of my truck is my profile picture
