  1. Selling a set of used GM OEM tow mirrors for the GMT-K2XX trucks. These should fit any 2014-2018 Silverado or Sierra. Mirrors are in great condition. They are manual fold, power adjust and all lighting is OEM except I swapped in some Boost Auto smoked amber “strip” lights. They are also wired for the running lights to work as turn signals. These are plug and play for trucks with the DL3 RPO code. DL8 trucks will have power adjust but need modification to get the lights working. Asking $500 shipped for BOTH mirrors from Virginia Beach to the lower 48.
  2. Welcome to the forum. I am running a Fabtech lift on my 2017 Silverado LT. I'm very happy with it but this is also my first lifted truck so my experience with lifts isn't that extensive. My build thread is here if you'd like to see the truck: The only thing I changed as it relates to the lift is that I added a leaf in the rear. I didn't like the stance with just the lift kit. The truck is almost perfectly level but I prefer the OEM look of the slightly raised rear. The ride was no different with the added leaf. Best of luck with the truck shopping.
  3. I have a 2017 LT Z71 but would like to swap to the LTZ grille. The entire grille assembly is too expensive for me to justify what is purely a cosmetic upgrade. With that, I'm thinking about attempting to put "chrome" vinyl over the three black bars on the grille to achieve the same look. I have limited vinyl experience and I have a couple questions. Can vinyl be applied to a shape like that with some pretty sharp edges? Will vinyl hold up in the grille where it will encounter typical road debris and abuse daily? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
  4. I went with underseat rather than behind based on the space limitations - a small box/storage combo with a single shallow-mount 10" subwoofer. It has performed very well, in my humble opinion. After a very long search for something I could buy off the shelf, I wasn't happy with the options out there and ecided to just build the box myself. It was my first time building an enclosure but it really wasn't that bad. Here is my build thread if you'd like to see the result:
  5. Finally pulled the trigger on a tool box. It’s a Weather Guard low-profile aluminum box. I’m very happy with the fit and the look. We’ll see how it holds up over time.
  6. I just swapped out the Boost Auto marker lights in the tow mirrors. I replaced the “dot” style lights with their “strip” style lights. It’s a small detail but they add up.
  7. I’m looking to put an add-a-leaf on my 2017 LT Z71 but I’m concerned it will make the rear too stiff. Are you happy with the rear suspension with the extra leaf?
  8. Looks great! I did something similar in my double cab to retain the factory storage for the jack handle. Nicely done.
  9. To add to this (I accidentally used an old account here - sorry, mods), this all assumes the wheel speed sensor is, in fact, the problem. geswek makes a great point that the problem could be caused by the lift install and an issue with wiring. I agree that you should take a good look at everything before going to ask for parts from the dealer. One of the things I noticed on my lift is the guys that installed it did NOT replace some of the plastic wire restraints on the rear axle after the lift. At first I thought it was an oversight but I realized later it was probably intentional to leave more slack in the wiring to account for the lift. You may want to verify none of your wires have pulled loose from the additional distance between your frame and the wiring going to the rear diff.
  10. It's earlier in the thread. He's trying to make room for a light bar behind the grille.
  11. I use it for change although it's rare that anyone handles cash in a car anymore - unless you're buying weed, of course.
  12. I assume you have a non-LTZ model and replaced incandescent bulbs with LEDs, correct? Did you wire in resistors when you changed to LED bulbs? If you don't add resistance, the lower current draw of LEDs will trigger the "failure" message when you select a turn signal. You will also likely see the fast blinking "hyper-flash" without resistors. I did this mod myself a few months back. I put a post here that shows the added resistors. If you don't want to use separate resistors, there are some LED bulbs out there built with integrated added resistance to be used in incandescent fittings. There are a few threads here already that mention those but I'm not too familiar with them.
  13. Subscribed. It looks like I'm #95. Almost to 100!
  14. Thanks! The mirrors are GM OEM. I ordered them with the truck and installed them myself. The part number for the mirrors is 23371780. They are NOT power folding. There are several great threads about it here already but if you want full functionality for the lights and don’t already have mirror lights you will need new door harnesses, as well. There are some folks that make harnesses but if you want the OEM harnesses, they are parts 23342729 (driver side) and 23342715 (passenger side). Those harnesses and the mirrors will effectively change you from a DL8 to DL3 (minus power folding) RPO code. I also ordered smoked turn signals and relays from Boost Auto Parts to get turn signal functionality out of the amber marker lights. You can see the difference in lenses in the photos I posted.
