Nope. Home made redneck monstrosity. Lol it's easily removable if I need tot tow hooks. But makes it so I Disney have to put any holes in the bumper.

Traded in my 2012 LTZ 6.2 for a 2015 All Terrain 5.3 last month. Loving it so far.

How does the new 5.3 compare to the old 6.2?

Certainly slower. A tad sluggish. I'm uncertain if my 12 Silverado had AFM or not, but you can definitely tell the 15 Sierra has it.

 

Today I installed the Airaid 201-785 and that's certainly helped the throttle response a bit :)

Looks good!! would you be willing to take some pictures down the side? I assume those are 12" wide rims and i would like to see how far they stick out.

The rims are 22x12 with -44 offset and the tires sick out about 4 inches. I will add some more pictures this weekend.

Had to take those 4x4 badges off the fender right away!

Finally found some time to get mostly done with the blackout. Still have powder coated black rotors, hellwig front and rear swaybars, center cap installation that match the black chrome emblems, some interior carbon fiber panels to match the mirror covers and running boards, and custom subwoofer/amp-rack enclosure. Will take better pictures when complete with the final touches and I get to detailing.

 

Sincerely,

 

Vader

Plasti Dip or Powder Coat the wheels? I really like my SLE wheels, but have considered getting rid of the Black Chrome look and going with just Black.

What 2 in leveling kit did you use?

    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps. 
    • 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.
