Hello all! It was suggested I start a build thread so here I am starting one! My truck is a 2016 Silverado Regular Cab with the 5.3L v8 and 6 speed automatic. It has the IOB 7" infotainment center with Apple Play/Android Auto, trailer hitch incorporated into the rear bumper, cruise control, 40/20/40 seats etc and although I originally thought it had 3:42 gears based on the standard items listed on the sticker I somehow missed that my option column shows that it actually has the 3:08 gears. The LT interior was a little too busy looking for me and had a bunch of stuff I didn't really need and about the only option the LS didn't have that I wished for is the steering wheel audio/phone controls but I think I can get by without those especially after finding out from the dealer the cost as well as what it would take to install. I had modifications in mind before even getting the truck such as lowering, tire/wheel upgrade, increasing performance/handling, upgrading to a competition level audio system (my hobby and side business) and of course plans to personalize it to my tastes. Here's what I have done so far and the more I read this forum the more I add to my list so future plans are below! Day 1 Before installing 2" drop shackles and removing spacer block (shows the chrome door handles I installed but did not like so they got changed quickly) After shackles installed/spacer block removed and color matched handles as well as mirror caps installed The gold Bowtie looked out of place to me so I color matched the front one using the rattle can custom mix kit you can get on eBay or Amazon along with Duplicolor primer/adhesion promoter I didn't like the look of the rear Bowtie at all even after color matching so I removed it and I also added the LS emblem to balance out the rear somewhat since now only the LT and LTZ trucks get those emblems for some reason. (I also plan to color match the tailgate handle) More coming in a few minutes!

Yeah I am one of those who actually likes some badging on the truck but I didn't really care for how Chevrolet did it so I made a few changes. First I color matched the grill and wheel Bowties.. On the tailgate I started by removing the Bowtie and adding the LS emblem but it still looked out of balance to me so I removed the LS and centered the Silverado (I also color matched the tailgate handle). I thought the Silverado emblem was a bit too much for the doors so I first replaced them with LS emblems but that looked a little too bare for me so I found some 1500 emblems. I'm still not sure I like that so I may try something else. I really like the hood on this truck however I felt it needed a little something. I recently came across some pictures of my old 79 Corvette and the L82 emblem on the hood inspired me to do this.. Not everyone's cup of tea I am sure but it's interesting how many people notice something is different from other Silverados but don't necessarily realize exactly what it is!

Today I was driving and my service engine soon light came on then I went to give it gas and there was most of its power gone I pulled over waited about 20 minutes, truck started right up, idled perfect, oil pressure 40, so I drove the truck home barely any power foot to the floor the whole way home. But 3 days ago I did cut the muffler off to take measurements for the new one I planned to put on today, I don't know if that could've affected anything. any information would be awesome thanks

Hey everyone, I've been around for a little bit, reading up on these trucks while I was looking for mine. I brought mine home last Friday. Figured I'd start a thread to show it off and post anything I do to it. Some background. This is my first vehicle. Grew up with GM trucks, learned how to drive in an '88 Sierra. I've been sharing the family Corolla with my brother the past few years, but it was time to get my own vehicle. I've always been a regular cab guy, briefly looked at a double cab but I have no need for it. Looked at the Z71, but I won't go off road much so went with the LT trim. And I just had to have the Blue Topaz after I saw it in person. Found this baby at the dealer about 15 km from my work. I emailed about 20 other dealers at the same time and none of them had exactly what I was looking for. One of them actually said they could only find one in the province that matched what I wanted which was the one from the local dealer that I bought. Silverado LT, 4x4, 5.3L V8. It has the convenience package and trailering package. It came with the 17" wheels, I wanted the 18's so I ordered them and am going to keep the 17's for winter. I also had the dealer put on chrome door handles. So far all I've done to it is take off the front plastic air dam. I think it looks much better without. Oh, and washed and waxed it of course. I'm thinking I'm going to drop the back so it sits level. I do like the looks of lifted and lowered trucks, but I actually quite like the stock ride height when driving around. So I'll level the back just for looks and leave it at that. I'm planning on getting a spray in liner, hard folding tonneau, and probably tinitng the side windows. Other than that, well we'll just have to wait and see! I have a cousin who has a truck shop so I'll talk to him about doing the rear drop. I'm definitely loving it so far. The are two things I've noticed. One is the FM reception, not sure if there's a fix for that? And, the seat doesn't go very far forward. I'm not a short guy at 5'11, but I have it all the way forward and it's almost perfect. But I don't know how any shorter guys would find it.

Before and after of the lowering kit. Front 3.5" Back 7" These two pics also show how different the iridium metallic looks, depending on the light. It rides surprisingly good.
