Nice Truck. I like that color. When I was a kid that's what I always wanted when I grew up. Crewcab, dullie, 4x4, diesel.... A big bad a** truck.

Thanks I haven't had time to drive it. I'm only driven maybe 15 miles. But i must say it rides great.

Always improving. Recently color matched door handles, tailgate handle, full mirror assembly, underhood parts. Added chrome tow hooks.

1. Where did you get your light bar assembly on the front bumper?

2. Is all your color matching custom painted?

Plastidip just to get a good feel. Plus I got plastidip for half price so why not. Actually came out pretty good and doesn't look cheap at all.

 

I'm actually interested in the anthracite grey. I think it would look good on a silver truck.

did you paint your all terrain emblems black?

Yup! Well, plastidip. Edited by Dropsix

The mounting bar is N-Fab the light is Rigid Industries.

 

I had my local collision center paint my plastic pieces. They did a good job for me before painting plastic on previous trucks and never had problems. I want professional products being used on an investment so expensive with oyr trucks.

Dude, if you like the Anthracite, you could do two-tone with the black.. That'd be frickin' sick.

Yeah that'd be alright. Lots more work for something non-permanent though.

 

I am loving the look of the truck now, I think I might just get them powder coated black once this plastidip starts to peel.

    • 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.
