ROOK Lucky 13

That sucks man. Sucks the dealership won’t make it right - squeaky brakes are usually a pretty easy fix, unless there really is something wrong with the caliper/rotor, in which case you should have warranty coverage. A new set of pads on that side shouldn’t be too much for a dealership to make this right on a new truck sale. Take it back, hopefully they can reproduce your problem and go further than your first run at them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

De-sticker (4x4), debadge the doors, debadge the tailgate...

Kenwood eXcelon 2 3/4”. Didn’t find OEM plugs, but soldered them. Sounds good, can tell the diff with the highs, sub also sounds good. It’s not a JL10W6, definitely budget but plug and play as well as bolt on fitted sub make it worth it. I’m happy with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That looks great, man. I've been looking at the 3" leveling/lift kits but this is enough to make me think about the 5" kits. How is the Zone kit on the freeway? Also - gotta love the look of the GMC front end. Not just the grill that has been talked about a lot in comparison with the Chevrolet 2500, but the lines on the whole front end. The proportions on the lift/wheels really come together well with the body lines of the fenders and hood. Nice choice on the upgrades.

It does, right? Spendy, but this is definitely on the list.

The amp steps are so great, best mod to the truck no question. The sub is good. I got the kit with an amp for the other 6 speakers too. The value to me was a clean, simple install without mortgaging the house. I priced out my dream JL Audio system and it’s somewhere near $6k - not realistic for me. This is a fraction of that, and for the price I’m happy. Not that $999 on ShopChevyParts is cheap in times like this, but I think it all works well. I listen to everything, old rock, classic rock, old rap, country, you name it and it pretty much does the job. The 2.75” upgrade just about needed the whole dash taken out, but an afternoon and it was done. I also have some door speakers ready to go, but that’s another afternoon. Half the pleasure is taking my time and installing everything right, not tearing up the rig. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finished this off this weekend, sounds great: Also upgraded the front tweeters: I also installed these a few weeks back: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I guess two things: 1. I'm also probably going to wait until this message goes away... 2. which of these four kits (that show up now on GM Parts Direct) do I need? I've got a Custom trim, no push start bolster. Can't really tell what is different between these four: 84756681 84756682 84756684 84756685

I may get this kit and have it installed locally if I'm not completely turned off by the installers.

Eventually want to do this high Country grill swap. Curious if they sell painted black to match, or if I gotta do that myself? Want it all blacked out... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. Keep it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m just going to go High Country when parts start to become available... hopefully can get all black, gold bow tie. This white HC looks pretty good, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's a far cry from the 60s design. That design put a turn signal not just where headlights would naturally have been, but up on the hood. They were clearly amber to designate being a turn signal, and didn't draw from the natural placement of a headlight. This styling is more like a fake headlight, made to look clear for the most part, and in a place one would generally expect to see a headlight. I'm not hear to bash this and bring up things like the Aztec, but if it truly took the substance of the 60s styling, it would have been higher up and maybe been amber like a turn signal. That might have actually been a very cool retro look, moving everything up a few inches. There is a guy at GM that has his hands on the Aztec, Colorado and perhaps the mid 2000's Silverado that is running wild! lol. Maybe you put a couple motorcycle buckets in the place of the turn signal aka faux headlight, and have it look like the 70's C/K, which was awesome:
