  1. Thanks. I’ll work on starting on that list to see if anything helps this weekend.
  2. You can see I turned off the ceiling light in my garage in the second pic - all of this is from the third brake light LEDs. (You can see on the garage wall that my door opener light was on, but that only goes to the side dimly because my truck sits about 3 inches under it and blocks any light from the back of the garage)
  3. I’ll get some tonight. Check back later/tomorrow!
  4. I just wanted to add here as I just got a new iPhone recently and went through hours of talking with Apple to try and figure something out. I was in the boat of I’d plug my phone in (I have a center console with a OEM Apple cable) and I’ll I would get is charging. Phone could do Bluetooth calls, but would not do carplay. I tried 4 other iPhones in my truck and they all instantly went to carplay. I tried my phone in a friend’s car and my phone went right to carplay. Did all of these tests with Apple and restarts of phone and truck and eventually found (in the truck, not phone) the settings screen. Scrolled to the Apple CarPlay option, and manually clicking “add device” while my phone was plugged in forced the CarPlay message to pop on my phone. Works perfectly now. just wanted to put this out there so people might find that setting faster and not be dumb like me.
  5. Hey everyone, Tried searching the forums and most topics with these keywords related to transmissions. So maybe a month or 2 ago I changed my oil myself for the first time on this truck (I’ve changed oil myself my whole life, just not for the two free changes I got with the purchase), and since then I am noticing a really rough idle when I am at a stop light. The oil pressure gauge drops significantly, like to 1/4 of the dial at times, and then returns to normal once I depress the accelerator again. This only happens once the truck is at operating temperature - if it is not warm yet, idle stays at a regular oil pressure. I put in the required oil amount and have checked the dipstick (but am willing to do so again). I will look to post a video of the gauge later since I apparently do not have one. Any thoughts from you all as to what I should look at/try next? I’m not leaking oil - there are zero spots on my garage floor.
  6. Hey Raven, you can see the purchase date on these. I have had them in my truck since 2 days after the order date, and they are still going strong. search term on Amazon: Philips Automotive Lighting 921WLED Ultinon LED (White), 2 Pack
  7. That picture is actually just from the two white lights near the center high mount stop light. I have though since added cheap LED strips under the bed rails (so not factory) and I tied them in to the circuit for the lights mentioned above.
  8. I also have the CC standard bed, and would love the larger tank if it just fits.
  9. Where are you located if you prefer local?
  10. One of my favorite comments for this on Facebook was “there is next to no resistance on those rails. I bet a focus could tow that once it got started.” Also lots of people wondering where they got a strap that small rated for 1.25 million pounds. On a personal note, I am excited to see what they can do with an electric truck. If people actually use their trucks to haul stuff, how long will the battery last?
  11. 3k miles, no engine work. LOL I know that’s not helpful but it does make me happy to see all the responses in here in the 80,90,100k ranges with no issues!
  12. Mine on right, dad’s on left.
  13. Yeah did you see me or the truck there?
  14. You in Tampa? I’ll keep my eye out for your truck on the road
  15. There’s that too! True DIY! Do you notice any signal reduction? I wouldn’t mind mine being shorter as well. Even so, I listen to Sirius XM a decent amount because I got it for like $6/month and I like the comedy and classic rock channels. So that’s not even this antenna
  16. Got my OEM off road light switch installed. Now that I have that done I need to buy a pair of Diode SS6 bars and wire them up with Phil’s harness!
  17. What year are the inserts from?
  18. Was working under my back bumper and found I had some visitors. Sorry for the bad picture, but if you can’t tell it’s a bird nest in the right part of my back bumper! I looked in from the top too, they really went to town. It’s full of leaves and pine straw
  19. Did you happen to take any pictures with the grille off of how you mounted them? I am fine with 6” bars because I know Diode makes awesome stuff that will blow many 30” bars out of the water.
  20. Thanks for the reply. I do my own routine maintenance, but that’s about my extent of engine knowledge. Electronics is more down my alley. I wish I knew more about engines.
  21. I want to say that I personally don’t run one (yet?) but I can’t ignore all of the stories of people draining them. I guess I feel like it’s beneficial to not let that get back into the engine to be burned up. Regardless, my dad’s company uses GM exclusively for their fleet trucks (all Silverados) and the 2016+ models now have 50-60k on them. Their engines haven’t blown up yet from being clogged but I’m not knowledgeable enough in this topic to know when buildups would actually hurt.
  22. Thanks. It’s a beautiful truck! And thank you for your service
  23. What’s the front hitch for?
