I looked for months and when I sold my Jeep on Friday, I made the deal and drove down to pick her up yesterday evening.

I'm looking for Silver mirror caps, Silver handles, tonneau cover, Line-X, N-fabs and some bed rail caps now.

my silverado is that colour. It was the only 2010 they had left I can't say I love the colour but it is ok and mine has the side step, rail covers, chrome grill, chrome handles, chrome mirror covers, chrome tailpipe cap. The chrome looks nicer on every other colour imo but at least when its dirty it doesn't look too bad compared to other colours

Right on. I've had a ton of vehicles and lots of different colors. This is only the second Silver I have owned. I love it. It will look great with chrome wheels or glossy black wheels.

 

I'm wanting the Denali looking chrome grill I think and silver painted handles and mirror caps.

Congrats! :rolleyes: I just picked up my new one on Tuedsay night

 

 

Woohoo! Congrats. I wanted a 4x4 but couldn't find one I liked. I'll still level this one and run some 33's

Yours is the same colour as the one I just traded in. Here is a pic with some extras, chrome bug deflector and sidestep rails.

Congrats Dan! That color was going to be my second choice, I love silver. I see you got the 6.2l, that one fine truck! Gulf Coast... did you drive out towards Houston to pick this one up?

I agree the painted door handles and mirror caps look much better than the flat black

    • Thanks for the point of reference 
    • Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends. 
    • 185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
