And here's a 2011 Yukon that I borrowed from the dealer while the Silverado was being serviced for a couple of days.

Nice 09 Silverado !

Please please remove that tail pipe extention that looks like it should be on a ricer not a respectable classy full size truck.

Sticks out waaaaaaaaaaay to far.

Couple new ones with the snow gone (as of yesterday at least- it's back today :)). Also installed tow mirrors, tonneau (not really seen in these pics) and I pulled the airdam.

If you were asking me....my flares are Bushwacker Pocket Flares. They bolt on not cut outs.

I did.....ordered ALL the tow options, sunroof, 20's, rear power slider, Bluetooth, steering wheel controls, upgrade stereo and Bose, cloth buckets, tow mirrors, LT package, etc. It took about 7 weeks to get here. I work for the dealer group, so I got veh for cost plus $200. Saved about $5k as well as $7k from GM. Next week I will add Armargard under rail, GM heated seat kit, GM box rail caps, mudflaps, under seat storage and sill protectors, wheel well liners, and Weatherguard mats. Nice thing about the new stuff is built on brake controller, veh starter, XM, Bluetooth etc. I'm regretting not ordering backup camera, but I will pursue adding it with help of this forum.

My buddy is going to clay bar and seal paint, and I will probably add some 3M protection to front of truck. Does anyone have any reccomendations on where to get the 3M?

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
