What happens if you re-gear the rear but not the front?

LOL yeah. Maybe I should just not stress over it then. Apparently they do just fine with so much weight

I do find it funny how they say, "When available", but yet new trucks are coming out with the features intact. So, apparently they are available, just not to us lol.

I thought on most window stickers, when it mentioned the steering wheel, it did not mention it would be retrofitted.

I currently have a payload of around 1750. Even if I could only get it 500lbs that would suit me just fine.

Sadly, they no longer do this. I requested mine some weeks ago and found this out. Luckily, the dealer I got the truck from still had it and send it to me.

Thanks. Next will be Amp boards but that will be a while. Its my wife's turn next to get things she wants . I do have to take it back in for a re-tint on the windshield though. Has two areas that are messed up.

Too bad it isnt that easy here. Would be nice. Better yet, stop making tint laws lol. That would be even better. Tint or no tint people cant drive here at all. And damn if it sprinkles.

Supposedly the Range doesnt work due to software changes. At least that i what the company told me when I asked this same question.

Detail guy came today and washed, clayed, buffed and waxed the truck. Bit over four hours later and hes done. I love the look and feel of a nice clean vehicle LOL.

Yeah. I am probably just going to resubmit the waiver and see if someone else gets it and approves. I hate not doing things the correct way but, without tint the sun kills.

Wow, I am surprised they tinted OVER the sticker. They told me upon tinting it any stickers would have to be removed etc. Which worked out great because I hadnt gotten around to removing the WiFi/ONstar sticker on the passenger window lol. I wanted 35% because that is what I had ran on my 13 Camaro, 16 silverado and 21 Sierra. However, for whatever reason, it looked really too dark on this truck. Barely could see the headlights. I am wondering though if they put 20% instead since that is what the front windows are. It would explain why it was so super dark. As light as it is now, it seems more than a 10% difference. I have even wondered about the rear which I asked for 20% to be put on. I can still see through it so it looks lighter than 4%. Overall, it still looks good though. I may think about getting a brow later on just to block some of the sun. FL didnt give me the waiver for my truck this time (Not sure why since they gave one for the other car two weeks ago) LOL. They told me my chronic migraines wasnt good enough and told me to wear sunglasses lol. So wasnt trying to draw too much attention to myself

45% on the windshield (didnt ask for a brow also that definite line there would have drove me nuts), 20% on the fronts, slightly less than 20% on the rears (had them put "clear" which is really 70%), should be around 4% on the back as I asked them to put 20% on it. All with Xpel XR.

Sadly, a good anything these days is hard to find. So much of the quality and care in work went out the window. I took it back up there this morning. Now only time will tell. As long as the bubbles dry out like they are supposed to, it will look good. I did have the put 45% on the windshield instead of 35% though. I dont think the Silverado's headlights are as bright as the Sierra's. Granted, considering the difference in looking at my windshield, it makes me wonder if they put darker on it originally that they were supposed to. Who knows now though. At least its done and my interior, minus the windows, is cleaned back up. Tomorrow my detailer comes to strip buff and wax her.

All windows tinted today. Too bad I have to go back so they can re-do the windshield and front passenger door. Over the years, I have tried five different tinters in my area and cant find one I would say is just amazing

Installed a bed extender today. I had a net that stretched across but found it to be lacking. Now its so much better.

My neighbor has a 2019 that he went from single side to dual rear. All he had to do was purchase the spot to hang it on since it wasnt already there. He also changed out his bumper to the dual rear out also.

Should also add, putco light bar installed today also. Next stop tint lol

Changed out the standard red and chrome emblems for plain black. The body shop that did it for me didnt even bother to charge. Savings-$50 not having chrome ones anymore - priceless lol.

I would like to see your tests and readings on Kicker being pure distortion. I have had kicker subs and amps in many vehicles and none had distortion at any level. Is kicker a high end speaker? No but is it garbage? Again, no. If you look at Crutchfield, Kicker is some of the most purchased speakers and they get great reviews. Even the stock sub that was mentioned is pretty good. Especially for a truck. Granted, without the DSP that you can get with some kits, it does kill mids. Had it in my 2016 Silverado. Regretted not getting the complete system. But for bass, it hit pretty hard for a single 10".

If the Bose speakers are still 2ohm in our trucks, there are a few sets on Crutchfield that have that rating. They are 6 1/2" instead of 6x9 but there are some there.

Wasnt the 5.7L design and patents sold to Toyota?

You do realize that 0 on an equalizer is just reference and that anything above or below is just a deviation from that reference. While true, going too much positive from 0 along with too high of volume will increase distortion, simply going above 0 alone will indeed not. Sound is highly subjective to the individual. Where I do not mind my Bose system, someone else will say its terrible and someone else will say its amazing. IMHO the system is just simply ok and better than stock. For the very vast majority, the Bose system will be exactly what they want/require and nothing more. My wife had a Jeep Renegade with a Kenwood system in it. Compared to my truck, it sucked. However, she loved it and thats all that mattered.

Glad no one was seriously injured. Nice on the TB.

Black Z71 badges ordered. I thought about dipping them but when I read on it, it seems that most say it only lasts about 3 years. Well, I dont feel like doing it more than once. Now It can be like Fixodent, set it and forget it lol.
