Snuff

Above is Backing into my spot at the deer lease. We are blessed with a steel pole barn that is 40’x160’ that is 59 years old. Below is in the driveway.

My 2019 RST Z71 - best truck I have had since 1973.

After driving trucks for over 45 years I can honestly say my 2019 is the best truck I have owned and the AMP steps I added are my favorite of all time.

I can not wear IWB - tried some and could not get comfortable. I have 5 pancake Style holsters from Simply Rugged and a heavy duty belt. I highly recommend them. The website is easy and you can call Rob with questions. If you get the right Belt and Holster you will love it. I carry cross draw on my left side so it does not hit my seat belt or my rifle when over my shoulder. Feels real natural to me. Good luck.

When I am on the way to my deer lease down south I wear OWB the entire weekend. When driving around town if not carrying I keep mine exactly where you do. I think it is very convenient!

I bought all 4 shocks for $435 and my mechanic charged $200. I got tired of waiting on the 4600 as I never wanted the 5100. Bilstein told me the 4600 is the best shock for stock height and for towing. I set the Eibach’s on stock height and it worked out great. Same height as stock and I only have 1/4” rake on my truck. The Eibach’s killed the chevy hop in the rear end and the truck drives much more planted.

I bought Eibach’s and I am very pleased.

Yes - I am going to run stock springs and see how it goes.

I got tired of waiting and ordered 4 Eibach’s for $389 no tax and free shipping. Should arrive early next week.

Great! You will love it. I used mine everyday it seems like. My wife is 5’2” and she loves it also.

Yes - real GM parts. Sorry but I don’t think I can find me receipt. You can go to the GMC Dealer and tell them what you want. Good luck!

Take it back and demand a refund!

I have the RST z71 5.3 with 5.3 and do not have a problem. I have 4,000 miles on my truck and drove 8 hours 2 days in a row. I do take my wallet out of my pocket as my sciatic nerve in my butt cheek hurts from time to time for years. I find the lumbar is great. I agree with FlatDale above. Go see a chiro or get a good deep tissue massage.

Look good! My RST came with liners but will keep these in mind if the GM’s don’t last. I had my 2011 wheel wells sprayed with my bed and it lasted great also.

I ordered the handle, bracket and bolts from the GMC Dealer and installed it in 5 minutes. I don’t have the part # but I am sure they can hook you up.

Thought I would share a picture of the GMC Tailgate Handle I added to my RST.

Thought I would share a picture of the GMC Tailgate Handle on my RST. I ordered it from the GMC Dealer and installed it in 5 minutes. It works great and very useful to this old man.

They were afraid they would rub and would not offer their 30 return policy. I like the bigger tire but at 67 years old every 1” gets tougher!

I put KO2’s 275r60 20’s on mine the first day. I know that is the stock size but look more aggressive and in my opinion the 33” tire looks good. I looked at the 275r65 which is 1” taller and .54 more sidewall but Discount Tire steered me away from them. Mine have a D rating which is plenty for a 1/2 ton truck.

I like it a lot

Mine is off 1/4” in the drivers side and flush on the other. I checked the tire pressure and parked it in my level garage. Took a 4’ level to use as a straight edge and checked both sides. The cab on the drivers side sits 1/4” outside the bed. The passenger side is flush. I had a long talk with a GM Body shop manager about fit and finish in cars versus trucks. He also recommended I walk the lot and look at alignment in beds, doors, hoods, etc. I believe I will leave it alone. With a square bed and square cab there has to be a reaction to every adjusted made. I am not sure that I want a bunch of shop hands leaning and pushing on my truck to gain an 1/8” in alignment. After looking at about 10 trucks today I came to the conclusion that the bed must be slightly narrower than the cab - maybe 1/4” to 3/8”. As long as my dogs, chickens and deer don’t know it I think I can worry about something else. Call me crazy or lazy but I don’t think I want to deal with sales, service or body shop and be without my truck over such a minor issue.

My strange noise turned out to be my power steps rubbing on frame bracket.

Yes - I have a 2019 RST z71 with 700 miles. I love the truck. Engine is strong, transmission smooth and I like the Bose. Took it to the dealer today to report a noise under the bed whenever the truck is on an uneven surface or say a speed bump. The shop foreman heard it and they decided to keep it and gave me a loaner. He said he was going to check hangers and leaf springs. I have since googled leaf spring noise and read several articles. I will report back but thought I would share. Like you, I would like to know if others have heard this noise. My truck did not do it when new. Good luck!

Congratulations and welcome! I hope you enjoy the new ride! It is a beauty ?

Thanks! Go check it out - I think you will like it. For the Texas Heat it is better than black.
