How do you like the 5000k color HID's? I'm running 4500K in my truck and LED fog lights but the fogs seem to have a slight tinge of blue to them. Thinking about swapping bulbs to 5000k, but how do they compare to the stock LED strips color wise?

 

Looks good without boards too.. I've been debating pulling mine off since I got the truck.

I really like the 5K. When they first start up the light output is quite blue, but once it warms up its a really nice white with a faint blue hue. Compared to the strips, I would say they are not as white as the LED's. I'll do my best to take a pic with my DSLR and try to capture the light output for you.

 

The valence trim looks perfect. I might just try this myself...and considering the cost to replace is roughly $100, it's not too bad of a hit if I mess up!

 

Now lets get to some serious business...take those running boards off already! :)

Looks really good, might have to try that with mine this spring! I'm just wondering where you decided to make the cut line.

Updated pics, looks better to me. I just used a sharpie and traced the crease that's already there and cut exactly along the line and just rounded the corners the same on both sides. I tried a couple different methods to cut with and found a JigSaw to be the easiest/quickest way. I filed any high spots down and cleaned up the edges after with an Xacto knife. Looks fine from 5' away, haha.

Greg does all of there "custom truck's" ... and yah, a quick glance through the parking lot or even on there Facebook page is littered with lifted black Chevy's haha.

I also installed LED headlights/fog lights but haven't been able to take a picture where it actually depicts the correct color and brightness of them. I'm still working on that but love the output and color of them!

Just plasti-dipped that whole inner grille? I like but IMO I'd want something more permanent than that. Great looking though!

Thanks, it is just plasti-dip and I do agree but in my experience it is just about as permanent as you want it to be. I've had it on a vehicle for a year and a half without it ever looking any different than the day I applied it.

Here's my 2014 LT.

Tints, flowmaster super 40 duals, blacked out bowties, Cooper a/t tires in 265/70r17.

 

Plans are to put bilstein 5100's on to level, possibly a tune, and the red/black rally style grill. Maybe new wheels after she's payed off.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
