  1. Yeah, you’ll love it. And thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  2. I agree. Just recently opened a bottle of this myself. I also had the pleasure of having Knob Creek’s single barrel reserve, aged 9 years. 120 proof, but it still tastes smooth and delicious. Expensive, so this one is only for special occasions, but it was a pleasure to try out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  3. Oil filter internals - comparison Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  4. I do my own, both oil and filter every 5k. Mobil 1 full syn and the recommended AC Delco filter. I also use an app to track all maintenance, with receipts, in case it is ever called into question. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  5. 2020 AT4 5.3 / 10 speed with 15.7k miles. Purchased in December 2019. Love this truck and will keep it. But it’s hard to say whether I would buy it again because it depends on what else is in the market. For example, I just put a reservation on a 2021 Ferd Br0nc0, so technically I did not buy it again. But that is not because I have any issues with it at all - just the opposite. Blows my 2015 All Terrain out of the water. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  6. I do a before lift light height check against my garage door, use painters tape to mark the height of the beam, then I do an after and dial my light level down to the original beam height. It’s not a perfect method, but I do not get lights flashed at me for being too bright after that adjustment. Since you already have the level on and no reference for the “before” height, if you are not getting flashed by people and you have good visibility at night with your current adjustment, you might be okay. But honestly, since I did not really take any measurements and just worked visually with a reference line, I am not sure how much adjustment your setup might create. The other factor is how level your driveway is and how close you are to the garage door. Closer you are, the less the adjustment appears just because of proximity to the light. Same premise as sighting something in - a quarter inch off at the sight might be 6” off at 25 feet. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  7. Lifted trucks can be a problem when installers do not adjust the headlights or inform the owners that they need to be adjusted. I’ve now lifted 4 of my last 4 vehicles between 2.5”-4.0” and had to lower headlight trajectory every time. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  8. Also consider resale. Many people spending high dollars for style over function will not keep it that long, because they want the next best thing when it comes out. The used market is great for high end packages as many people that can’t afford them first time around then overpay on the used market. So when folks are swapping out a Denali for something new, trade in/resale helps a little. Of course, it’ll never completely justify the jump in price... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  9. That’s exactly what I was hoping to learn. Thanks LA, the really helps. Appreciate it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  10. 2020 AT4, 5.3L/10 spd, ReadyLift SST +2” with UCAs. I am thinking of upgrading my Ranchos to Bilsteins. While I’m at it, can I go another inch higher with my kit, getting to a total of 5” (2” AT4 package factory lift, 2” ReadyLift, 1” adjustment on the Bilsteins)? I sit exactly level now with the stock blocks in the rear, so if I add 1” upfront and put the ReadyLift blocks in the rear, I will still sit level. I have no reason to do this other than I love working on my truck and making it personalized. So this is just for a fun and aesthetics factor. I am running 33x12.5x20 wheels currently, and if I added the inch, I would likely go 35x11.5 or 35x12.5 depending on clearance. I don’t want to sacrifice ride quality, but I’m thinking it would improve with the Bilsteins. https://www.bilsteinlifts.com/shop/chevy-gmc/silverado-1500/2019/bilstein-b8-5100-rha-0-1-1-front-lift-shocks-for-2019-2020-gmc-sierra-1500-2wd-4wd/ Any advice or thoughts?

  11. I’m a sucker for sound. Borla S Type catbacks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  12. IIRC, The best I got was an average of 19mpg over 400 miles, blended highway/city driving. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  13. Oh 5h!t!!! Sorry to hear that man. Sucks! At least it was patchable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  14. 15k mikes on my 2020 AT4 purchased in December. Love this truck. And this forum. So much good info here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  15. 2020 AT4, 5.3/10, 4” lift, 33x12.5 wheels, sport mode 100% of the time. 17 mpg blended city/highway and heavy on the accelerator. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  16. The list is long, but I’ll go with the 10-spd trans. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  17. I decided to use one of extra switches in the switch cluster. I want to save those for future adds (power boards and maybe a winch). Instead, I ran an illuminated toggle directly below the parking brake button. Easy to reach, out of the way, and low enough that the switch illumination does not affect interior cab lighting at all, night or day. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  18. Update - I’ve passed 6 Ohio state troopers and 4 local cops in Ohio with the lights on, and this weekend passed by 3 PA troopers and 2 in Maryland. Mostly afternoon/dusk driving, so not totally dark. No issues whatsoever. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  19. Tire rotation. No fancy pics for this highly technical maneuver. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  20. My hitch cover clears as well. But be careful, when you step on the multi pro, it flexes a bit towards the truck, so you have to allow for clearance with weight, not just without. Mine flexes about 3/8”. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  21. Thank you. I don’t have either option so now I just need to disassemble that part of the dash...wonder if anyone has done that yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  22. I have a couple of questions about the bank of switches in the 2020 AT4, located right under the temp controls. 1. Has anyone taken that part of the dash apart? If so, any suggestions or pics? 2. Are the two “empty” switches on each end purely for decoration or are they potentially ready to be wired? These are the ones I’m referring to: Thanks!

  23. It’s actually his commercial van with a Rockport body. Sorry, should have clarified. Yeah, I heard the 8 speeds are troublesome. I’ve got the 10 speed, which I have to say runs awesome. So far, at least. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  24. I’ve been really lucky. I bought my 2020 AT4 in December brand new, and now have 13,700 miles on it with no issues (yet). No leaky rear window, no vibration, no leaf spring squeak, etc. I feel terrible for the OP - I’d be pissed if I was wearing those shoes. Ram is not much better. I researched Ram heavily before getting this GMC. My sales guy (I have gotten 7 vehicles from him between my wife, son and me over the years) handles GMC/Buick/Caddy and Ram/Chrysler/Dodge. His quote, “lease a Ram, buy a GMC.” He said they can’t keep the Rams out of the service bays. Our son is friends with a tech at a different Ram dealership, and he said the same thing. The Rams are constantly in and out of the service departments for various issues. My buddy has a 2019 F350 with the V10, bought new, and he is having motor issues (misfiring) as well. It sucks that we spend this much $$ for vehicles and can’t be assured a great experience. But the worst is when the OE disregards or dismisses a customer. Good luck OP.

  25. It’s actually funny you say that. For the price, I think the Lomax trifold is great. But every week I think about the ReTrax. I typically don’t need to remove my cover, but the Lomax is super easy to remove. I think the ReTrax takes less space rolled back than the Lomax folded (not removed), but I haven’t seen one in person to be sure. I go back and forth all the time, like you are, and I’ve had the Lomax since December. I’m not much help. [emoji1787][emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
