I need suggestions on a few things. I know my truck needs something else but what is it? Wheel/tires? Side window tint? Bigger lift? Is a RCLB just not going to look as good as some of your EC's and CC's I see on here?

 

I was thinking maybe getting OEM stock "5 spoke" wheels, Cooper Discoverer STT's, 40% side window tint(not sure if that's worth it), and eventually a BB Tune for performance. Would that help her out in the looks department?

Also, should I rip off those bed rail covers? They are DeeZee Black Diamond tread and I can't figure out if I like them or not anymore.

Wheels would be 1st on my list, it will definitely improve the look of the truck

 

Also, I would maybe consider colormatching the door handles and mirror covers

If you're gonna go OEM, get the 6-spoke factory 20's they put on GMC Yukons.. they look just like mine but they are 100% polished, not polish&paint like the Sierra.

If I bought a new truck tomorrow, I'd order the Yukon 6-spokes!

after the wheels & tires, go with:

-tint

-mirrow caps (painted or chrome)

-door handles (painted or chrome)

-front level kit

One thing I think adds a lot to a WT is OEM body side moldings in body color. Also some mud flaps. I prefer weather tech no drill. Both of these items would protect and add a little style. Go with whatever OEM wheels you like best too. Even the chrome hole wheels like you have will help on a budget. You've got a great canvas there, just know when to stop painting!

Actually there is a RC 2" level kit on there. Crap, you mean to tell me you can't notice? :lol:

 

:thumbs::idiot:

 

It's noticeable, just a little hidden by the hideous wheels

+1 on the body moldings and mirror caps

 

would you also consider a fog light kit? that would add some character to the front of the truck as well

Color match bumpers,mirrors. throw a set of 33's on it. put a tasteful cap on. tint all windows and last but not least a nice exhaust.

JMO.

I would add the fog light kit, paint to match mirror covers & door handles, add 18 inch Z71 rims, tint all around, debadge,

Anyone know where I can find the stock wheels?

 

A lot of the suggestions are items that can come factory installed on the truck. I'm wondering if I wouldn't be better off just buying a new truck? Mine is just barely 3 years old and about 26,000 miles.

 

For example, my truck used to have the all black front end. I replaced it two years ago with the body color caps and chrome bumper/grille. That cost me $900 to have that done and now they are offering the fog light kit for what, $350? I really don't know now. I might have to sleep on this decision.

 

I didn't start doing anything to this truck until it was about a year old and it is my first vehicle. It has been good though as the only problem was a sticking throttle body causing hard shifts which was fixed quickly. I'd like to on my next truck buy it and have it all set-up the way I want it within a month.

I would say add these wheels

 

 

Yep, those are the OEM "five spoke" I was talking about. Any idea where I can get them at?

    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
    • Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."    
    • Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.  
    • Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
