Looks sexy. Now remove that air dam

 

 

If you look carefully you can see the airdam was not cleaned up well, I took it off when I put it in the garage latter. The only things I dont like but sort of need are the side steps..the g.f. is 5'2 and not so happy about the step in height and the rear mudflaps. I take them on and off but they are on at this moment. I tow a open car trailer and I already trashed a windshield with a rock so the flaps keep the car protected more. I have also debated on just peeling the "silverado" badges off. The truck has no badges aside from that one. I basically got tired of peeling them off when I got the truck and left off right there.

 

I would have loved to go with the 6" and 35s but I park in a garage and right now I clear by 1.5 inches so it was a no go. I also park in one at work and I clear it by 3 inches. Its nice to keep the truck covered all the time so I went 4 and 33's.

 

Thanks for the compliments guys. Some of you answered tons of questions over a long period and I really appreciate it. If anyone wanted to see it in person and was in NJ let me know I am sure we can arrange for you to take a look at it.

What type of wheels are those, they look sweet.

 

Those are Helo 835 in 20x9. I rarely see anyone with them. There are a few trucks on here or some of the other forums that have them but they are not as popular as the XD series wheels.

truck looks excellent, glad your happy with it.

 

you gonna make it to the e-town show with us in april?

 

I think I will be attending. I will probably have two other trucks with me. Once we get closer to April I will know better. I typically work Saturdays but I may be able to work out getting that day off. I have a 2 friends with Fords and another with a tastefully done rcsb 1500 on baja claws.

20's look just right 18's would look to small.. The savings of a couple hundred bucks in tires isnt worth the sacrifice in looks.

 

If anything go with a lil bigger tire next time.. 33x12.5x20 or 305/55/20 would look great on there and give you a little more sidewall that you like, and still fit on the truck now that you have the 4" lift.

i am in contact with one of the guys from e-town that sets up the show, so i reserve a spot for us for FullSizeChevy , so if you can, just try to let me know by april 1st and your spot will be reserved. we usually have a group of 10-15 so we usually get a pretty good spot.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Another JR · Posted

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
