    Love the filter setup! Where did you source this from? Just got my Lake country pads, a sheetload of good microfibers, Oberk 2 step system, and Gtechniq crystal serum light for a CC. Just need to find a long open weekend to get it looking like a mirror again...

    Reviving an old post.. did you ever get around to fixing this? I picked up a set a few days ago and the same thing has happened. Was quoted around $250 to have them blasted and powder coated.

    I've seen a lot of people recommending and using the OEM ZL1 TC, compared to going circle D. Not sure if that's just do to price? I'm at 130k on a 6spd. Dropped the pan at 100k and swapped filter/fluid. Hoping I'm one of the lucky ones.

    For a silverado, my recommendation is OEM LTZ/HC LED tails with Phil's custom harness. @Frankielozano214 has been quiet lately on selling oem lighting but he's your guy. Morimoto XB tails are a good choice if you want something different. Expect crap results with cheap equipment, ask me how I know https://harnessdr.com/product/2016-2019-led-tail-light-adapter-harness/

    I've had great luck with the General Grabber ATX's in the past. I was searching a few months back and ended up finding great reviews on the Falken Wildpeak AT3W's which I pulled the trigger on in 275/60/20 (33"). Absolutely blew me away how they handled in the snow and rain, offroad and are very quiet. 10/10 would recommend for a "budget" A/T tire as they are cheaper than most.

    You can contact any headlight retrofit shop to send yours in and get them done cheaper. I recommend Monty Crisp (Crisp Customs), he has done a ton of custom headlight/taillight combo's. Cheaper yet would be to buy the Klearz markers, DD switchback boards from TRS and do it yourself. Just need an oven, a few hours of time, expanding pliers and Morimoto retrorubber butyl to reseal. This was my first ever set I've opened up and it went really good just time consuming. https://crispcustomsco.com/

    Keep us posted on the full paint correction. I'm waiting on my LC pads also. Getting away from CG's products as from all the testing I've seen and done some of their stuff isn't that great longevity wise and the hydroslick's hydrophobic properties tend to break down quicker than others. Can't decide between Koch Chemie, Oberk or Rupes cutting and polishing compounds, and between Gtechniq, Gyeon Mohs q2 and car pro UK 3.0 for ceramic. Lots of choices haha. Black always looks amazing when it's detailed!

    I've had my eye on the Stinger Heigh10 for awhile now, but it's been out of stock for sometime and does not support the factory Bose systems. If you're keeping the stock head unit WAMS is the only way to go

    Looks awesome! I struggled with the front bumper, as it was my first time wrapping bumpers also. I pulled my sensors out and wrapped them as well. Very tedious and took longer than expected, trying different things each time. They ended up looking pretty good besides a few blemishes on the sensors themselves.

    Woah, haven't used mine in a little over a week since it's been moderately warm lately. I dig the new update, and can see how using the "flash lights" function would be helpful in certain situations. Just remote locked my truck to see the response time and it looks like it dramatically improved! Only took 20-25 seconds where normally it would be ~1.5 min.

    Love the debaged look. Clean truck!

    I don't see why he couldn't tune the 8 speed. The intune i3 8246 supports 17+ 5.3/6.2. I'd shoot him an email just to confirm.

    Better in all aspects. No more rear end hopping over railroad tracks/large potholes, small bumps and cracks are less noticeable, overall comfort and stability around corners. Keep in mind my OEM Ranchos had 100k on them so they weren't in the best shape. It still rides like a truck, so don't expect dramatic results from a sub $500 suspension set. There are numerous guys who love their Fox 2.0's or King coilover setup up front. My dad has a stock '21 AT4 and that thing handles like a dream on the highway and on the trail. Hope this helps a bit.

    Traveled out west to the in-laws and got some moto's in. Been noticing with even hauling a few hundred pounds on the interstate any slight hill incline will downshift. Going to look into re-gearing in the future since I haul a enclosed trailer often.

    After 6 months of it you tend to really look forward to spring and above freezing temps Update.. trucks full of salt again. Made it two days. Water beading was nice, however!

    60 degrees Saturday, a mild mid 20's today with some snow. Gotta love the midwest!
  17. boettcher40
    Had a nice 60 degree day this weekend to detail inside and out. Not often we get above 30 in March! Bucket wash, clayed, Turtle Wax jet black spray wax and CG VRP on all plastic trim & tires. Wanted to see how the spray wax works compared to my normal sealant routine (chemical guys black light followed by butter wax). Just in time before we get snow and rain tonight..

    I have always been a die hard Bosch fan for wipers. Maybe it's just my bad luck, but never had good results with longevity of Rain X. I think the Bosch Envision series were introduced 2 or so years ago, and they are by far the best set I've ever owned. Going on a year and a few months on the same set that have seen lots of rain, snow, and everything in between. Still function like they did on day 1, and no streaking!

    FYI, programming is only $200 thru WAMS Nothing but great reviews on their services!

    This^. If you really wanted to still have the spacer while upgrading to Bilsteins, just get the 4600 series. Completely defeats the purpose of "leveling" the front with 5100's if you're going to run the lowest setting with a spacer IMO. I have the 5100's on the highest clip setting and no complaints with install or ride quality. Definitely better than the stock Ranchos.

    Phil (Harness Dr.) did this a few weeks ago on his new T1 truck. WAMS programs your cluster for $200+ shipping. https://www.whiteautoandmedia.com/product/2019-t1-denali-high-country-cluster-programming/

    I was a die hard Euro fan before getting back into trucks. Having 350+ to the wheels on a 4cyl turbo is damn fun so I hear you.. But after driving a C6 Z06, nothing beats that V8 rumble and performance!
  24. boettcher40
    It was a brisk one this weekend.. Even with a brand new Interstate 850 CCA battery it struggled turning over yesterday morning leaving the hotel. This 30 degree weather coming this weekend will be like t-shirt weather!

    To each their own I guess. Sorry to hear you were into Honda's though. ?
