  1. little plates behind door handle that covers the screws, tabs are super weak and busted a few tabs off.......checked gm parts now, parts direct, and cant seen to find them......am sure even a silverado wil fit......to the peeps in the know where the best place to get parts for trucks.......also wouldnt mind getting a bag of thos clips they use to secure door panels on....the white male and female plastic ones with rubber grommet......if anyone knows i would appreciate it to find them asap.......thanks
  2. unless your sure its coming from there idk if thats the tranny.....most of tranny issues were between 1st and 2nd gear (clunk or slam)....my RST had it but wasnt bad at all and rarely happened.....my 21 gmc has been flawless maybe its tires, balance or driveshaft vibration...... there are some huge threads on this though
  3. its sidewall of tire....you want sidewall for offroading......to an extreme but still applies in off road in general is look at trophy trucks, rock crawlers, etc....17in rims there is more options possibly for 18" rims and cost less......nowadays with big rims becoming popular for show you can find quite a few though...... more sidewall gives you options for airing up or down, reduced pinch flats, reduced scuffing on rims and or rim catching on rock, root, etc and bending of the rim ( either cuz no air volume or spokes being close to ground catching a rock, root, etc).....tire flexes more with more sidewall, also your tire is the very first shock absorber, more air volume is better....its all pluses with no minuses i have 20s but prefer 18s....ok for now as i dont plan on thumping my truck quite yet smaller rims give a much better ride as well in general........street wont matter can throw whatever on but ride will be harsher
  4. i like the fact of being able to replace ball joint easily.....and i think all of them are stronger than factory and have better articulation and thats all you need......if your gonna hammer your truck than camburgs or similar......most are just trying to correct geometry so any will do that better.....
  5. yeah i never got flashed in the year i had mine in 2020 HD.....you can adjust them fairly easy though if needed,
  6. i had those same wheels on my 2500 and i actually really like them....i probably would have powder coated them black and went up a few sizes on the tire eventually but i sold the truck......still i really liked wheel pkg and for $500 GM charges its a steal
  7. yeah you can just swap to a console no need to change the seats..... if you have preferd pkg the SD card for bench seat is on the dash where its in the console if you get it from factory.....idk how guys are switching it to console....sure there is a way and there are alot of threads on this if you search.....
  8. exactly....if you already know what you want no need to be at dealership if you dont have too....can do your test drives on another day or better yet rent the truck for a day
  9. yes you need to contact a few of them.....depending on the timing and vehicle one will be better than another......carvana was the low offer few months back ( give me the vin was highest) but when i actually was ready to sell they were the highest......same on previuos vehicle last year where carmax had highest offer ( but were low this time) so just depends thats why its good to contact all of them Carvana paid me 5k more than the next highest bidder( and number didnt change when they showed up) so i went with them, doesnt mean they will always be the best on every car though......i am sure all of them have similar process and its very easy still cant believe what they paid....I.paid $47,300 OTD new and they have it for sale for 51k right now
  10. i just came down the mountain in big bear, CA.....tow haul mode so very little braking (amazing how well it works though my 2500s tow/haul was bit more aggressive) 50 MPG in a 5.3l coasting down the hill, lol.......never see that again
  11. yeah i dont understand 22s on an offroad truck.....i have 20 and would prefer 18 but they came on it
  12. i bought a brand new truck online without any issues and never set foot in a dealer.....it was brand new though and i looked it over when they delivered it......an older used car is bit different story
  13. carvana was super simple.......filled out online, they gave me a price and scheduled an appt.....they showed up towed vehicle away and i signed some papers......they direct deposited the positive equity into my bank and paid off the balance of the loan
  14. i did ceramic 35% and when the sun is shining and you put your hands up against the glass on both factory and ceramic you can sure feel difference....$100 for both driver and passenger windows....sadly i sold the truck as they "paid too well"
  15. springs basically just hold up the vehicle weight.....all the dampening is or should be done with the shock, you want to run lightest springs you need to hold up the truck (if you have winch, steel bumpers, or equipment) than they should be little stiffer.....if you are feeling the springs its not because the springs are too soft or too stiff (doubtful they are too stiff) its because the shock has improper dampening abilities....you should not feel the springs in proper set of shocks.......springs hold up the vehicle at ride height and thats their only job....if you overspring a vehicle and have little dampening in shock the spring will over take the shocks capacity......but believe most companies have that already figured into their coilover packages unless your running extra weight, if you are tell them and they may want you to go 700lb spring vs a 600lb or whatever case may be get correct shock with ability to dampen the forces and type of driving you do ( will be a compromise if DD and slamming it offroad)...if not no worries no shock has ability to do both extremely well, its just not possible even with clickers (fine tune).....and springs offer no dampening characteristics....without dampening of a shock they just pogo up and down forever.....
  16. i checked eibach and they say something different about sierra than silverado.....wonder if anyone has done a eibach kit for sierra.....have to believe its same plus i live really close to them and can have them do it bilstein uses digressive valving ( lcon) eibach uses progressive valving ( king, fox, and most others) not a right or wrong way just different methods of valving can see where a progressive setup would be a bit more forgiving for DD...
  17. yeah i did hear another guy familiar with this stuff say it would be possible but that it would be ALOT of work and expensive i had the IOU or IOT in my 2500 ( premium w/o nav) and now am back to IOR....there is a few things i miss but i dont think i would pay a ton of money to get them back.....radio and phone in the DIC mainly I had power mirrors as well and those things seemed like they were gonna crap out every day, had to reset them twice......so simple may not be bad thing
  18. those big spacers you have in front on that lift kit isnt helping.....and RC shocks well not so good new shocks all way around with coilovers up front for that lift height (get a decent brand), make sure wheels are balanced and alignment is good, and that will be about as good as your gonna get.....maybe take a ride in someones who has quality setup already on and see if you like it....lifted trucks can ride horrible or pretty sweet but its still a lifted truck, and whats really nice to someone familar with trucks can be maybe not so much to someone who isnt..... check to make sure someone did do something mickey mouse somewhere as well, you never know and people do it.......maybe take it to a reputable shop
  19. yeah they dont just hand out new replacement trucks like gumball machine......even at times when they should!.....just hope the issue is small and can be fixed without too much drama.....so far have been really lucky with new vehicles but never know.... if a new one had a huge issue i would have a kiniption fit that i do know...and wouldnt stop until i found the person who said "YES"
  20. i have the multi pro tailgate now......my question is when you press the top button it just releases the top gate (have to pull it down by hand) but doesnt drop it down like main gate correct?.....if the main gate is down then it will release the top gate all way down (gravity).....but for just the top gate its not suppose to release all way down correct?......it does seem tight and its brand new so but wasnt sure..... by the way i love this tailgate.....it has alot of versatility for construction.....my only gripe is when you use the top gate down and use step like a bed extender its not quite 8ft.....its a hair under......they could have made that so on std bed when you use the top portion and step as a stop for material to equal 8ft.... or 8'1' so you can haul 2x4, drywall, or plywood......today i had to return 1 sheet of drywall and it was like an 1inch short..... the Ram gate is useless for construction.....GMC if they would lower the seam 2" to give you a much better platform when you lower the top portion only and also be able to haul 8ft material using the top gate and step as a backstop to make material runs
  21. yeah pretty stupid......maybe its to increase visit to service center
  22. redwngr and onthereel know their truck features.... they always seem to know packages and what certain ones come with.....i would take their word over GM brochures (as they have been misleading at times). lol
  23. lol, no worries man.....no need to elaborate further, enjoy
  24. If you think mid travel kit is leveling kit than your sadly mistaken
  25. that plastic cover is the tailgate am pretty sure, not sure there is sheet metal underneath.......my 2500 didnt have plastic it just had sheet metal......and believe my 19 RST just had the plastic cover with no sheet metal under it.....am not 100% positive but remember either reading it or hearing it......could be 100% BS of course which is actually nice cuz replacements arent expensive and can be eaily done if it gets messed up and mine surely will
