@Sonders Since I see you are pulling a camper, do you use the GM factory extension camera for trailering? If so, how does that work with bikes on the rack? I just put an undercover tri-fold on my truck and I really like the rack system you’re using.

Getting ready to call my dealer tomorrow about some 'chirping' (hoping this is the issue) and rear end noise (possible leaf spring isolator replacement TSB). For those of you that have had this issue, was is primarily after longer / higher speed driving? That's when I really notice the issue with my 2019 with 40k.

For the last few trucks I had before I bought my 2019, I always had bed caps / shells. We had a large dog at the time and it gave him somewhere to ride so he could move around (all had sliding glass for air movement) and still gave us plenty of room to use the bed for hauling. When I bought my 2019, we no longer had a dog but I still wanted a way to secure items in the back (mainly to keep them out of plain view) so I went with the BakFlip MX4 and couldn't be happier. I can secure items under the cover when needed and still carry larger items by simply folding it up or using the rods to support it against the rear of the cab. I have found one place that appears to have leaked a small amount during a 'monsoon' of a week that we had recently but it was minimal. If I'm carrying things like luggage in the back, I always use plastic totes for ease of loading / unloading and for added peace of mind knowing that those items will stay dry.

My 2019 just did the exact same thing. Volume up button quit clicking but still worked at first..... now nothing and I have lost all steering wheel control except cruise control. Another trip to the dealership, hopefully a quick / easy fix.

Thanks, I was researching those since the AMP is $75+.... figured there had to be a more economical alternative. I'll have to try that out.

Installed AMP steps... what a difference in looks! Has anyone installed AMPs and used the plug and play cable to be able to still use the OBD port?

So I guess you like the console tray? I’ve been debating getting one for small items so I can find them easily. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What did you use to paint the calipers? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Installed a BakFlip MX4 tonneau cover.... straight forward install and took me about a hour by myself. I had camper shells on my last three trucks but didn’t want to lose the camera on this one so I think this will work great to give me a means to lock things up in the bed. Tailgate auto feature works great also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would post up differences from wheel well to ground before and after but I accidentally threw the wrong set of instructions away while I was cleaning up. I do recall that it was a full 3.5” front and 2.5” rear from stock and before new tires. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It took me 8hrs from start to finish. I didn’t think that was too bad considering I did it all by myself. I’m sure that if I did another one I could trim off a few hours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The worst part of the front was taking the struts apart for the pre load spacer. I used a set of spring compressors and a pneumatic gun to make compressing them quicker (tried to do it with hand tools but that was a fail). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally got some better pics.... figured I would share one.

I did not have to remove the front axle nut. Dropping the lower a-arm per the directions provided more than enough room to remove the struts. Keep a jack under the lower a-arm to keep it from 'over extending' while lowering and it will be needed for raising the lower a-arm after putting the strut back in (help during this process was helpful though it can be done alone, the wife helped me with the passenger side which made things go a bit smoother). Be careful when working around the boots (I paid special attention not to pinch / tear them when removing / replacing the strut assembly). It really was a easy process if you take your time and have moderate mechanical skill.

I’m sure that most of that is so the lift manufacturers cover themselves in the event that sticks don’t fit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
