    No one can tell you 100% if it will fit or not, that is why it was said to measure. Odds are, no it will not fit. My neighbor had a 3.5" lift with 35's and his barely fit in his garage.

    Looks nice Grumpy. I wish I could get the two cowl end pieces to look and stay like that. Its the only trim I have issues with. They always have white spots.

    Stoner's Trim Shine works well also.

    I have never once had mine actually apply the breaks either. I have wondered if the feature actually even works considering how many times I have had the red alert flash on the HUD LOL.

    Yeah the last year and a half has just gotten more nuts than everything was. Im only almost 50 and have done my own since I purchased my first ride. Its cheaper for me to do it myself even though its getting harder to get under there. I do keep impeccable records though .

    You say it like that doesn't happen. It does not matter in the least what profession it is in, there is incompetence. The lettering on my tailgate has now been done three times due to it. The same guy gouged part of the plastic trim trying to fix my seat cover. That same guy also couldn't put the foam back on correctly. We have all heard horror stories about mechanics who seemingly forgot to put the oil back. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying it happens 10% of the time or any great number but it does indeed happen. It doesn't really suck til its you that has to be that one.

    I have the Trailrunner on mine and they aren't noisy but suck in wet weather.

    I still do my own oil changes. That kid may do more than Ill do in a lifetime but if they are all done shabby....my few becomes better than his 1000.

    I have had issues with my randomly turning themselves off. I asked them to look into it and got the standard, "Cannot duplicate." Much like steering wheel controls stop working with CarPlay or CarPlay just blacks out lol. These days it seems like if it doesnt give them a light/code then they dont know how to find the issue.

    I have personally used Pennzoil Platinum for as long as I can remember. I think I did run 0W-30 Castrol (the green oil) once in an old Z28 I had lol. A good Wix filter to with it and called in a day. So far so good on my engines. The only engine to date I have had major issues with was my first Camaro. 1979 with a 350 and a 4bl carb. Bought her used and fixed her up over the years. One day a lobe on the cam wore and was tapping the bottom of a lifter. Other than that its been pretty good over the years.

    The gas debate falls in the same category as the oil debate. How many times have we seen, "What's the best gas to use?"

    We all have our favorites as well as ones we wont touch. For the most part any good quality oil will work just fine .

    Here is a thread that has a couple of images with a 4" lift on stock wheels and tires. I do not personally think they look that bad.

    LastFit LEDs are now in place instead of the halogen bulbs. Look very nice indeed. What bulb is in the side markers? They kinda look like regular bulbs but I see no way to replace them.

    The only difference between the two trucks were the 360 view and the front and rear assist. Nothing that would drastically change their weight. Rear gears are also the same between the two. However, the LTD 5.3L's are all rated lower by 2MPG HWY and 1 CITY. Not sure as to why and cant get a straight answer out of the dealership either. Not to mention, this truck runs hotter that the 21 Sierra. Never saw the Sierra go past 212 while this one will go up to 220.

    The Pulsar indeed works in the 22 LTD. I am running one myself. What doesnt work according to Range is the ODBII plug in. When I asked them why it lists the plug in as not available for the 22 LTD's, they told me the software was different. I figured they just called the same truck a 22 instead of a 21 myself, other than the MPG difference between the two.

    I have a 22 LTD and have the Borla S-type on mine. Love it.
  18. Byrds8
    According to Range, the software is different in the 22 LTD's vs the 21's. However, I can say that the 22s and 21s are different in some way shape form or fashion has they do not get nor are they rated the same for fuel consumption. My 21 Sierra w/o DFM was rated for 20 on the HWY. My 22 LTD Silverado Is rated for 20 HWY WITH DFM. So something is definitely going on to drop 2mpg that the 21s with DFM are rated. I will say though that the Pulsar LT works just fine with the 22 LTD's. I am running one now.

    Have LastFits on order right now myself cant wait for them to get here. Its the last bulbs I need to replace to have all LEDs

    No one said I was special in any way. I am just an average guy. I know things can be tracked in all sorts of ways. I am not lost on that fact by any means. But that doesn't mean I want to make it super easy for them to do so. I am not OK with them doing it without my consent. The moment everyone says its OK and just doesn't care that they do, another freedom is lost. I think it should be a personal choice if they mine data off anything I use or not.

    I got that there a lot of things sending data etc. Granted I usually tell the few devices I have not to send anything. Didnt think much about Onstar though. Definitely have a point there. For the most part, I dont have smart anything in my house. No Social media and such. I figure its no one's business what I do when and where. Guess instead of buying a new truck, I should have bought a really old one ROFL.

    I have the Bakflip MX4 on mine and love it. Its a hard cover but so far no leaks and it looks great.

    Just read an article this morning about GM Future Roads and Safety View. Supposedly GM will be sharing data with the government. However, it doesn't really say how this will work. Is this something coming or will it use existing tech already in our vehicles? Have any of you heard of this and have any other info. I went to their site below but it doesn't mention HOW they will monitor. Thanks. https://futureroads.gm.com/site/us/en/gm-future-roads/home/safety-view.html

    That is about what I figured but wasn't sure.

    If there are no codes in your dash, it is probably just a glitch and it will update and fix itself later. I have had mine do this when I started the truck for a very short moment and cut it back off.
