  1. my wife's traverse had a battery that didn't last more than 4 years. My 2020 LM2 had 160,000 miles and was 5 years old with no signs of slowing. Some people like to be proactive and change out 3-4 years just because, but I like to stretch my money if there are no signs.
  2. I didn't want leather, but it was the only option. I have kids and rough with things so i wanted car seat covers. Although i was not a fan of the neoprene, the fit and finish of the rough country was actually great. Price wasn't bad, they covered everything but my center console, and the reviews i saw mentioned they didn't fade. I also like how you can still use your hidden storage compartments in the seats, which are also covered. Taking out the back row seats was actually easier then most people say. Just 2 release clips that you can reach with a small pick. If tyou watch a video or two before you start, should be cake. Like previously mentioned, only downside i've seen is that the heated seats take longer to heat. Seat Covers | Chevy/GMC Sierra 1500 (19-26)/Silverado 1500 (19-25) | Rough Country
  3. thanks everyone for the answers. I was thinking of the older styler tow mirrors where they were always on with headlights or worked as turn signals
  4. I recently went from a 2020 RST to a 2026 RST with a lot more premium features. The only thing I can't seem to figure out is my side mirror. It looks as if it has lights, but they do not turn on for anything. I lock/unlock with the fob and nothing, I've put my truck in park and tried turn signals with nothing, i turned on my headlights and nothing. I've set my convenience options for exiting/entering the vehicle and nothing. Is this a mistake from the factory that never got programmed to use? Just as an FYI, the truck does have the camera package with the 360* for parking and towing (does not have bed camera or rear-view mirror cam). for my first oil change, should i bring this up to the dealer?
  5. I looked at my app and went to accessories and confirmed it did not show up for my 26 RST either. I've been debating a lot lately about going back to a rough country kit like I had on my 2020, or spending twice as much on the dealer trail boss kit, but knowing it would be warrantied (knowing they couldn't make BS class against another lift). I guess I'll be going aftermarket. I was also slightly concerned about the front half shafts. I don't know if they are still using different ones for the trail bosses compared to other 4x4. Mine is an RST, but also Z71. I have the full metal leaf springs this time, where as my last 2020 RST had the composite. for your question: if I buy the AT4 lengthed billstein 5100 shocks and a 2” block for the rear, Would that result in a net of 2” all around? you would definitely get 2" rear. As for the front, my last truck being diesel had a lot of weight in the front. My 3" lift did not gain me 3", a little less. Some lift kits now typically have slightly more in the front in order to have it leveled, where others give you same front and back and you'll have a rake to it. do your research and think about what you want
  6. I went from a 2020 LM2 (2wd) to a 26 LZ0 (4wd) and have been enjoying it a lot. I commute 60 miles, 1-way to work (120 round trip) from Orange County to Los Angeles. In the morning it takes my roughly 1-hour, heading home 1hr 45min - 2.5hours. My previous normal average was 30 - 33 mpg in my LM2 (modded with 3" lift, 33" tires, and a few PPE tubes). With the new stock truck (no mods, 31" tires, and 4x4), I average 28mpg. With the holidays, colder temps, and less traffic, I now jumped up to 30mpg. I use a fuel tracker and can confirm that the numbers on the dash are typically spot on with the actual driving. Another thing I noticed, and maybe because it's new, but the DEF usage is much less. My background with DEF is, and is my opinion, that is is corrosive and crystalizes easily. Also being an emissions item, I don't like being less than half a tank. I figure with the heaters in the def tank and the way it can crystalize, I always want it full. Plus, when I get down to half a tank of DEF, it takes a single 2.5 gallon box. No over filling and spilling, no filling and realize you need more for full. My LM2 went about 2000-3000miles to a half tank (one box), and my first fill up in the LZ0 was 3770 miles. I hope this continues. Below are some pics of the screen and mileage app
  7. New truck, 26 RST 4x4 with LZ0. came with 265/65/18 on it and I was hoping to go with 275/70/18 that I had on my last truck. Previously I had a 2020 RST 2wd with a 3" front lift (top strut spacer and 2.5" rear block) and had no issues. Was wondering if I would need to lift again to prevent rubbing. If I were to lift it, would I need to invest in the half shafts that the trail boss has? if I recall, the trail boss uses longer half shafts for reliability. new
  8. my previous truck was a 2-wheel drive, so i wasn't worried about it when doing a lift. Now that i have a 4x4 Z71, non trailboss, i was wondering if i could do any 2" lift, or if i would need to invest in the half shafts as well? At the end of the day i'd like to go a little higher and fit 33's with no issues. My previous truck was an RST 2WD. I have a rough country 3.5" upper spacer on the front struts, RC upper control arms, and a 2.5" block in the back with RC shocks. The truck rode like stock, but was raked too much for my liking (front was lower by almost 2", probably caused by the LM2 in it). My current truck is also diesel, but seems to sit within 1/8" from the factory at this point. Again, if i was to go 2" lift, should i get half shafts and upper control arms, or just go spacers and block only.
  9. identical thing happened to me, but i had the trans serviced at the dealer at 50,000 miles (fluid only), then 100,000 miles with filter. didn't make it another 1,000 miles before i started to slip gears around 28 - 35mph. Ended up replacing the trans for same cost. It took a while at the time, so dealer gave me a loaner for free for 2 weeks. I never towed and had pretty much only freeway mileage on it, but still failed. I'm getting to the impression that you don't touch these things unless needed.
  10. - Stillen air intake - Rough Country module for adjusting tire size
  11. - PPE catch can for LM2. comes with all parts, installation guide. added a ball valve to the end for easier draining. - PPE 90* air intake boot. part and clamps only
  12. got rid of my 2020 LM2 crew cab that had the center seat that can't be used in my new truck. I am located in orange county and don't want to ship if I don't have to but will if you pay for it. Make me a fair offer for any item and it'll be yours. First pic: - console vault that fits in lower jump seat. Like new and with both keys and paperwork (don't have original box it shipped in) - footwell "hump" over the transmission tunnel wooden shelf. custom built out of wood and painted black. used it to hold a large coffee can for trash and kleenex box - armrest storage organizer. large one that was cut down to specifically fit and keep area better organized.
  13. Ended up with a check engine light as well, so took to dealer. Dealer found upper rear cover seal was leaking and turbo ended up being bad. Leak was more than likely caused when they changed oil pump belt / transmission 50k miles ago, but dealer blamed it on life of truck. Between needing new tires soon, new battery, and repair costs being more than value of truck, I traded it in for a 26 RST 3.0 LZ0. Wanted like for like with newer engine, they had one on lot, and I ended up with many upgrades from the last truck
  14. I also have a catch can that's been on since 103,000 and it collects maybe an ounce or two every 2-5k miles I drain it (if I use a water bottle it barely fills up the bottom round part).
