  1. A 5mm slip on spacer is no big deal. I run them with my summer aftermarket 20" wheels. There's a LOT of thread still. It's not like you only have 3 or 4 turns of the lug. Been running this setup every summer for the past 5 years with no issues. I run true spacer/adapters in the winter with the stock wheels. 2" spacers that bolt on to the stock lugs and wheels bolt on to the lugs on the spacers. Again, 5 years with no issues.
  2. You haven't been off roading and hit a rock with that stock steel rear diff cover then. Seen several people who did and peeled it back enough to lose all the diff fluid. It's more to slide over stuff than protect from damage to the diff housing itself since it's cast iron. The big "ears" for bracing to the axle tubes are what will snag as well as the steel diff cover that hangs down below the diff housing. I ended up putting an AFE aluminum diff cover on which doesn't hang below the diff in the center.
  3. At least it was hopefully a relay. On my 2008 Avalanche I had a weird issue where the rear doors would lock, but not unlock via the power lock switch or remote. Turns out the unlock for the rear doors ONLY was BUILT INTO THE FUSE BLOCK on the end of the dash! I had to buy a whole new fuse block to fix the issue. Luckily it was cheap used.
  4. You don't list where you live, but there's known issues with the ground strap behind the passenger side fender well liner. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2026/02/some-chevy-silverado-1500-units-need-a-new-body-to-chassis-ground-strap/
  5. I have a Custom trim so I just have black rubber. I want to add the gloss black metal trim like the factory high trims. People with the chrome factory trim have done either vinyl or peel coat stuff.
  6. This is the only full outer trim covers I've seen in black: https://www.ebay.com/itm/397248020680 This is the crap I bought saying it was black stainless but the pictures in the listing I bought didn't show them flexing like this one so you KNOW they are plastic. https://ebay.us/m/xwjmbK
  7. From what I've read, 3.73s are the highest you can go with the front diff. This guy just put them in his truck: https://www.trailboss.org/threads/long-travel-wide-body-build.3892/page-5#post-37321
  8. The plastic "steel" ones I finally got the seller to refund me my money. They weren't happy but it was all of $14 shipped.
  9. I haven't been able to find the GM part numbers for the Denali or High Country trims that have the gloss black trim from the factory. I did see a kit on ebay that appeared to be a metal formed and stick on. The panels between the two doors are all plastic. I bought one that said it was black steel and I received it and it arrived as plastic. I was not happy.
  10. Why'd you buy another scanner if you already have one?
  11. I reported it as spam last night when I got the notification. On the actual topic, I ordered a Mucar 892BT scanner and waiting for it to get here. It and the Thinkcar that's the essentially the same model, both made by the same company have gotten great reviews. Got a good deal off ebay plus there was an ebay motors coupon off so getting it for $482.35 shipped. It has lifetime updates so no subscription crap like the TOPDON bluetooth dongle I had purchased. It can still be used as a scanner but to do any actual diagnostics I have to purchase a new one year subscription.
  12. Yeah, nice cheap improvement over stock plastic. The AEM ZR2 won't work because the bumper is different and won't mate up to the standard bumper. I added a couple brackets at the very front since there's nothing but the two side pieces to support it. If you catch something with the very front edge, it can bend down. I pulled it off when I was having the 6.2 recall done and then it got cold and snowy. I bought some red acrylic to put behind the RC cutout in the front plate. That way it will keep crap from getting in there and be a little showy with the red. I'm also going to bedline it as the stock powder coat scratches pretty easily.
  13. I bought the RC front skid 5 months ago. Much beefier than the plastic front piece and the bottom aluminum on the Z71 plate. I bought some 90 degree brackets and drilled holes in the front to bolt the front edge to the lower bumper bracket. That way there's something bolted farther forward than the mid plate bolts of the RC and stock one.
  14. Your truck is not a TV.
