I'll also add to the growing list of possibilities the time of year. Cooler temps have air that is more dense. The truck has a bunch of sensors to ensure the engine maintains a 14.7:1 air to fuel ratio. Cooler air means lower mpg. When these engines have to work they get thirsty. I've had to deal with trips that had a huge amount of wind. I've seen my mpg as low as 10 in areas where I regularly see up to 24.

Yes, it'll fit. I have an Offroad Warehouse near my home that has a Baja Designs display (Baja Designs is only about 30 minutes from me, too). The display has a 10" S8 lightbar. I was able to take measurements. It's good to go. And, employees at Offroad Warehouse told me they've done it before. I also have the 40" S8 lightbar you can purchase through GM Accessories on top of the sportbar. Same method of mounting (however it doesn't have the 3 amber leds in each 10" section and the wiring harnesses are 2 pin weatherpack connectors). Thanks for the info on fuses 4 and 40. I'll look into those. Might be a cleaner looking install that way too, if done right. These lights are powered via switch #3 on the GM Upfitter switches that I installed. That switch if for the white lights. I figure the amber lights in these light bars will be a different perspective on the 3 amber led lights in the grille that started with the Ford Raptor, is now on the TRX, and seems to have found its way onto every Toyota Tacoma and 4Runner I come across. I'm trying to be a little bit different on this one.

I blame gravity

Depends on when you bought the truck and how many miles are on it. Iirc, GM's bumper to bumper warranty is 3 years/36,000 miles.

I never represented myself as being the authority. I, in fact, pointed to the NCIB. What I am clearly the authority on, based on your response, is hurting feelings with facts. Thanks for playing, feel free to discuss your hurt feelings with the NCIB.

Sounds like the heat shield for the spare tire. Possibly the exhaust sliding back from a connection and a clamp on the pipe that crosses from the passenger side to the driver side is running against the heat shield and might be making a hole. This happened to me. Ended up replacing the heat shield because I waited too long to address the issue, and also disassembled the exhaust just so I could turn the clamp around so the bolt side of the clamp was on the opposite side of the exhaust pipe. I also loosened up the rest of the exhaust connections and made sure all pipes were properly connected, then retightened everything. The part of my exhaust that had the most play in it was right behind the muffler.

You're more than welcome to play around on their website and look at non-Trail Boss/AT4 trucks

Thank you for your reply. I read it a few days ago and had to stew over it to fully grasp what you were saying. Like I said, "I'm not proficient in electrical matters". Sounds like it will be easier for me to just use the ARB wiring harness and install directly to the vehicle battery and pace the switch in the truck bed near the compressor. In that regard I'll just go with the twin setup. I was planning on installing rock lights and chase lights to switch #4 of the upfitter switches, but I guess I'll just do rock lights on switch #4 and chase lights on switch #5. Thank you very much for your input. It is greatly appreciated.

Agreed! Avoid Mickey Mouse's hot tub.

Go take a look at ReadyLift's website. Better quality products, and they replace the uca in their 1.75" leveling kit and 2" lift kit for Trail Boss/AT4. https://www.readylift.com/shop/v/chevrolet/silverado-1500-trail-boss/2020/4wd/

Your son and your insurance agent are hardly the authority on this. The NCIB definitely are the authority, though. 2004-2006 Chevy Silverado (#1) and GMC Sierra (#6) are too contenders for being stolen. Nobody wants to steal a Ram though, since it didn't appear on the list. Probably because none make to be 20 years old. F-150 was #2 on the list. Most recent data is for calendar year 2021. 2022 data won't be available until around August. Here's an article: https://jalopnik.com/these-are-the-most-stolen-vehicles-in-america-1849356530 I live 20 minutes from the Mexican border, and have a major port even closer than that. But I digress, and I'm done flexing on that one for now.

I have the GM Performance exhaust on my truck. I love it! Iirc, the GM Performance exhaust is the same as Borla's Sport exhaust. I might have that confused with a touring one, though. If check to see if somebody offers it for less. GM Accessories changes their "sales" almost monthly at the beginning of every month. You can see what the current sale is by going to accessories.gmc.com (accessories.chevrolet.com for the Chevy owners). They will do 5%-10% of a select category, such as exhaust, or do an elevated discount as your purchase price increases, etc. I think the best I've ever seen was 20%, but you had to spend a lot, too.

I looked into several vehicle trackers today, ironically. There are ones you can buy that don't use the OBD2 port. Some of them mount directly to the battery. This, and EMP protection have been high on my list. Chevy Silverado has consistently ranked high for theft. A lot of times it's the owners being negligent in 1 way or another. I see this a lot in my neighborhood, and we have private security. Backing into a parking spot and setting the e-brake won't change anything. If a tow truck is used it'll just pick up the truck and, dragging the rear wheels until it's far enough away that it can install a cradle for the wheels to suit on. I've seen it lots of times when people park in no parking spots. If you try to driveway with the parking brake engages the brake will automatically disengage. Imo, the best way to prevent your vehicle from being stolen is to make it unique. Thieves don't want vehicles that are easy for police to identify. You don't need to paint it funky colors that look like a unicorn barfed all over your truck. Just some subtle things that you like/says about you that makes your truck unique.

Do you have a level?

Did he track his truck with the MyChevrolet app?

Beat me to it. RC is low quality and cheap garbage. It's like comparing Temu to Amazon.

Thoughts on 285/75r18 on stock Trail Boss? Rubbing, etc?? That's pretty close to a 35, and not much wider than the OE Duratracs.

With the right tools anything is possible,

Iirc, that's one of a few harnesses that may need to be swapped out inside the verve console itself. It's right up there with adding wireless phone charging. Yes, it can be added. However, I believe your radio code is either wrong or incompatible. I was under the impression Trail Boss LTs came with radio IOS, not IOR. Having an IOR may make this mod unsuccessful. If I'm mistaken I hope somebody will come along to correct me.

I like what I see very much. Leaving California on July 1 and moving to Florida. With stop and go city traffic get about 11 mpg with my 6.2. Set the cruise to 8 over the posted speed limit when out of the city and I've seen 24.4 on the DIC for the 50-mile average. That was driving I-15 north to Las Vegas, which included going up and down mountains.

Regarding CARB compliance, what's the big deal? The current test in California is really nothing more than looking for a CEL light. At least, that's how it was for my test in October, so please correct me if I'm wrong. I was in and out in a matter of minutes. Iirc, the guy hooked up an OBD2 scanner, and that was it. Gave me a printout showing I passed, which I mailed to my home state to prove compliance. I live in San Diego, but a Utah resident. I was prepared to point out the CARB compliance sticker, but the tester never opened my hood.

I don't see why not. You paid for it with the kit purchase. They got their money already.

2020 Trail Boss LT. About a year ago I installed the Rough Country dual 10" led lights in the grille. Since day 1 I've hated them because they are no better than the OE high beams. I do use my offroad lights a lot, and these aren't the only ones on my truck. I prefer Baja Designs. I plan on replacing the 10" light bars from Rough Country with 10" S8 light bars from Baja Designs. However, Rough Country uses Deutsche connectors and Baja Designs uses weatherpack connectors. That's not a problem. I can do the conversion. The issue is the Rough Country leds are 2 pin, whereas the Baja Designs are 3 pin. The reason for the 3 pin setup is because Baja Designs has amber leds in the middle of the light bar between a few of the main leds. Imo, this would provide a unique perspective on the Ford Raptor/Ram TRX amber leds in the grille/scoop that seem to have been duplicated by half the Toyota Tacomas on the road, and even aftermarket parts manufacturers like AVS with their hood deflectors. I would like to leave the amber lights on full time when driving the truck. What is a good wire to splice into near/at the headlights to accomplish this objective? I will have the white leds tied to GM Upfitter switch #3, which is where the Rough Country lights are already connected. I've anyway checked and the electrical draw is too low to create complications. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Vehicle: 2020 Chevy Silverado TB LT Objective: Install ARB Air Compressor in truck using GM Upfitter Switches I get around, a lot. Offroading, driving on beach, desert cruising, camping, hunting, etc. I also stop and help people that are stuck in the middle of the road. Basically, I use my truck to do truck things. Whether it's for myself where I need to adjust air pressure in the tires, or to help somebody with a flat tire, I want to install a small air compressor in the bed of my truck. I'm looking specifically at ARB air compressors because of their popularity, compact size, and commercial support. I want to power switch to be switch #5 on the GM Upfitter switches, which I already have installed. I am aware this switch is already pre-wired for a rooftop light, but I don't have a rooftop light and believe I can just spice right into it. I also like switch #5 because it's on a 30 Amp fuse. I was hoping to go with ARB's twin compressor (CKMTA12), but looking at the spec sheet (attached) I don't believe this is a good idea because it's too much of a load. This caused me to start looking at their next compressor down, the CKMA12, which is a single version. The amperage seems to be just below the threshold of the fuse for switch #5 until it gets to 100% load. Given that I won't be using the air compressor for air tools because everything I own is battery-powered, and I only see myself using it to fill tires (and maybe the occasional air mattress for camping or kid's floaty for a day at the beach, is it okay to go with the CKMA12, or is it too much of a load? Am I completely mistaken about the CKMTA12, and it's okay to use? I'm not proficient in electrical matters. I can do the install so long as it's plug and play, and maybe a splice or 2. I can create basic harnesses with Deutsche and weatherpack connectors, so long as they don't have relays, etc. But there's definitely a knowledge gap on my end beyond those abilities. Advice and input is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

The one you can get through GM Accessories, imo. Iirc, it's the Thinkware F800. I have everything on your list checked off. You can have it upload to a cloud, are download videos to your phone via wifi. It's also plugged into your vehicle computer, so it gives you your speed, etc. I also get audible alerts for school zones, traffic cameras, and when I'm too close to the vehicle ahead of me (I'm in SoCal, so this one goes off a lot because that's the normal way to drive out here).
