Thanks my man, I'm leaving the chrome wheels for now. I'll probably end up going black when I mess the suspension and a few other things but that won't be til after Summer. Who knows my mind may change by then lol.

 

Btw, love you're tire setup! Jealous. lol

None to speak of. I don't perceive a diff.

I was just thinking the exact opposite. ...that pic sealed the deal to me. Black it out with that grille.

 

Looks good.

If you're referring to mine, they are black already. Came from the factory like that. But yes, I agree they look better blacked out on my truck.

 

Looked chrome in the photos. Looks good. Edited by ahahnu

Truck looks really good. What level/tires are you running?

 

I took the front air dam off my AT but I plan on levelling it in the future and I may put it back on. Such difficult decisions haha

Thanks. It's got a 2.25 Pro Comp level with 2 inch blocks in the rear. Tires are 305/55/20 on a +12 offset, no rub.

 

I'll take the air dam off once it warms up to see how it looks. I don't mind it at all...but some of the pictures that I've seen with it off convince me otherwise. So true..such first world problems lol.

Truck looks great! I'm also in the Edmonton area. I recently pulled my lower air dam off, but I'm not really sold on it. I think I'm going to trim it down and see how it looks.

 

With valence:

I like with valence better, I think the truck was designed with the valence in mind and really helps the overall styling and continuity of the truck.

I understand why some people remove them though as they do hinder attack angles.

I agree that it looks more "complete" with it... It just annoys me looking at it from this angle:

Kinda reminds me of this...

Trimmed down seems like a Win-Win to me:

Haha, yeah I could see how that would get annoying. In GM's defense they designed it with the factory ride height in mind. Since you are leveld/3" lift, it allows more light to get under it and exaggerate its design.

 

When you are bumming it on stock ride height like me, its less obvious.

    • I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that. 
    • same here , i have a 2020 first gen and the cost to repair these engines far excedes replacement
    • But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate. 
    • I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here. 
    • My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
