  1. Sorry for the delay, I have the workcover jr on my truck as well, and my previous truck had the american work cover for 11 years with no issues. I can post some pictures when I get back from deployment.
  2. Sorry no advice to offer but I am curious as to what you decided to do; My truck came with factory heated seats, but the Mrs wanted me to add heated seats to our 05 Jeep Wrangler soft top. Those aftermarket kits are pretty easy to install and the ones I put in the Jeep warm up better than the factory ones in my truck.
  3. Amber light you say? I wonder if that could be added to our 1/2 tons and wired into the parking lights...
  4. Truck and fender flares look great! I personally would delete the AM/FM antenna; unbolt the bracket and secure antenna inside the right fender area with a cable tie or two, insert a black plastic plug in the hole where the antenna was, you can find them at Lowes for like 0.25$ you'll lose a little range of radio reception, but the clean look would be worth it, and its easy to undo if you don't like it.
  5. You know, good point, I never really have it much thought, just saw that most others did so and figured ‘why not?’
  6. Had a few hours to kill so I added some LED bolt lights behind the grill for some pretty nice marker lights. lights off Lights on lesson learned: Purple w/grey strip wire is parking /marker light power in the headlight plug
  7. Hello all; I'm really interested in purchasing this kit for my 2020 Silverado https://camburg.com/shop/accessories/acc-lighting/baja-designs-chevy-1500-19-s8-led-grill-light-bar-kit/ However the description says that it is not compatible with the LTZ, but I can't figure out why, my grill looks exactly the same as the grill pictured. Has anyone installed this in their truck? or anything like it?
  8. I’ll double check for you in the morning
  9. I wonder if this would work on my 2020 1500 LTZ...
  10. My 2020 3.0L Duramax LTZ; I love this color!
  11. my plastic piece is bed-lined to match from the factory. Line-X should be able to coat it no problem, their spray on liners can go on almost anything.
  12. I have an LTZ and would like to know why this wouldn't work as well! I've been looking for something exactly like this that won't ruin the lines of my front end but add some badly needed lums.
  13. sorry to hear of your troubles, but thanks for sharing that lesson learned with us!
  14. 3/4” nylon hole plug from Lowes
  15. De-badged / re-badged the tailgate, and deleted the FM antenna. Simple little things...
  16. BossTaco, I decided to go with the American Work Cover, I had one on my last truck for 10 years without any issue so I decided to go with the know good option, its a 6 to 8 week wait time but I'll post some pictures once its on!
  17. adding this to my 'to-do' list
  18. I've been thinking of doing this mod too, did you notice any appreciable drop in MPG around town?
  19. Good looking truck! which bug deflector is that? I've been meaning to research and get one myself...
  20. Hey all! 2020 LTZ Crew Cab Standard bed. Ordered in April, just got her two weeks ago, July 24th. I love this truck! I ordered pretty much every option available for the LTZ and opted for the 3.0L for several reasons; - durability: diesel engines by design are known for the simplicity and longevity of the engine - range: I make alot of trips from coastal Virginia to the mountains of West Virginia and up to New England, can't beat the mpg and range of the 3.0L with the 10 spd. - economy: Diesel is currently $2.05 while premium 93 that the high performance turbo gas engines need for top performance is $2.25 by me, and even then I'm still getting better mileage - I'm a professional mariner and licensed to operate and repair massive diesel engines, with pistons and cylinders literally as big as the truck is long, might as well have one in my daily driver - I will occasionally use it to pull a boat, Jeep, or horse trailer, but probably tow less than once a month. My towing will be all long haul highway towing. I knew I wanted a diesel for my next engine, when Ram came out with their eco-diesel I was underwhelmed during several different test drives. Ford delayed releasing theirs, so I traded in my 2010 F150 for my LTZ.
  21. Hey Everyone! I’m trying to decide on which retractable tonneau cover to go with for my 2020 LTZ with the standard box. A few must haves: - Made in America - Metal construction - Solid Locking mechanisms - Roof rack attachment rails (need to haul bikes, snowboards, etc) So with those criteria I’ve narrowed it down to the Retrax Pro XR, Pace Edwards Full Metal JackRabbit, and Truck Covers USA American Work Cover JR. https://retrax.com/retraxpro-xr https://www.pace-edwards.com/FMJackrabbit-Explorer/2020/chevrolet/silverado-1500 https://www.truckcoversusa.com/american-work-cover-jr/ On my previous truck (2010 F150) I have the Truck Covers USA American Work Cover for 10 years and loved it, except the 20”+ of lost bed space, so that’s why I’m looking at the Work Cover Jr or possibly the other two. If you have any of these covers I’d be interested to hear your overall thoughts on durability, security, functionality, and bed space occupied by the canister, and the rails. In addition, are the front stake pockets covered at all by the canister or seals? Pictures would be a big bonus! Thanks for reading and thanks for your time!
