My local dealer is ordering some accessories to have on hand and I said if he got em in today I would buy then granted I only said about the chrome mirror caps but should I get chrome door handles too or just leave it as is ?

Do you like a lot of chrome?

My opinion, it looks good with the OEM chrome door handles.

Looks much better with black door handles... Have you ever looked into color matched handles?

I like the chrome on the GMCs because it goes more with the trim. I prefer to leave as is on Chevy Models, unless you are adding the other chrome trim to match, then it would not look out of place.....

Because my truck came with a chrome front grille insert, I went with the chrome look and like the results. It really changed the looks of the truck. Only other thing I am thinking of adding is the grille guard, but don't know if I will do it.

Well I appreciate all of the responses, I decided to hold off on the door handles for now due to having to take apart the door panels and having limited time due to working, I did however get chrome mirror caps, hood guard n window visors but my luck the passenger side visor is falling off because the tape decided to bind up and not hold so now its a matter of whether or not I should take them back or what to do.

I am not a fan of the chrome hanldes but I think they would look good on your truck.

 

I think painted ones would look better than the black.

I like the body color matched ones myself, but the thought of taking four door panels off to install them just makes me cringe. Plus they cost nearly $ 200 for a set of four in graystone color.

No way on chrome. Painted or black is cool. If you want,when you get the chrome handles, get the chrome gas door too.

is that a gm bug shield? as far as the window guard falling off.... if you go back to the dealer and tell them im sure they have a roll of the double sided tape and theyll put new tape on it. or you can get the tape or whatever is easy. the hard part is getting the old tape off not fun.

    • No I didn’t watch a video of a person who analyzes oil for a living explain general oil usage. For clarity I did ask my brothers one who runs our equipment business. The other who runs our old ROW business about oil usage. Nothing has changed since I retired. Their personal vehicles or work vehicles use no oil. Not enough to see on the oil checking device. Then I pondered. I like to ponder. In this extended oil changing world with oil change countdowns or lights. If engines used say a qt every 2500 miles or up to even 4000 miles. With oil changes reaching as high as 15000 miles. Normal for most people is eight to ten. Vehicles should potentially be seizing up all over the place. Especially in hilly terrain. Just how many people actually check their oil? Maybe 10 percent. Those are the people that probably change their oil early. I like to research used car listings. I have five favorite dealers I check. They all list carfax with their listing. It’s rare to see vehicles with anything but extended oil changes. Transmission service, forget about it. I’ve seen Honda and Toyota certified vehicles up to 100K miles and ten years old. With nothing but normal maintenance. Isn’t nice we all have different experiences and believe our way is the best. You certainly get backup for whatever you believe. Life would be boring otherwise.
    • Interesting rumor. Dealers near me have been tight-lipped so far, but if this reveal actually happens next week, I'm really hoping they finally give the HD a proper interior overhaul. The competition has been eating their lunch in the cabin department for a while now.
    • There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well.   I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing. 
    • I dont care what Lake says. Goodnight. 
    • Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption.   Shut up and watch:
