How you like that grill?  I've been eyeballing that sucker, that light bar throw off decent light?  Truck looks sharp!

I just had it installed but so far so good. Love the look, and light is very powerful, but my concern is the quality of the light bar. Total cost $399 which is really not bad considering I've seen 30 inch lights for that cost,  but the shop I use out here in TX, covers everything I've had done, so if it breaks , they replace it. I get a ton compliments on it Joe. 

 

It is not cheaply made by any means.

Just bought my first truck, have had older jeeps and some suv's but being a single dad with sole custody of my 7 year old daughter and a truck was always just out of reach for me in cost.   I bought a 2018 Silverado K1500 LT.   I bought it with 27k on it, so it was driven a lot in a year and a half the previous owner had it, but that made it affordable, picked it up for $24,200 which I thought was a good deal so I jumped on it.

 

Recently went from a 38 mile commute to 10 mile commute for work, each way, so figured if not now then never.

 

Nothing special on the truck, it has the bigger infotainment screen, a leather wrapped steering wheel, upgraded interior and cloth seats.    

 

I'd like to put bigger tires on it, but not sure how big I can go on the current rims with out lifting it.

Just bought mine in December ! It’s an 18 z71 Premium plus slt .
I want to lift it 6 inches and maybe keep the factory 20’s with some 35x12.50x 20’s
I can’t seem to find a lot of lifted pics with stock wheels .

It because of the wheel offset on the factory wheels. Most suspension lifts will have a note stating the issue with factory wheels. Also, 35x12.5x20 tires will definitely not work. In fact, 35 inch tires on ANY GM truck is going to have rubbing, unless you go with 6.5 or higher and again, not going to work on stock wheels.

 

Go to Custom Offset Wheel site and you can enter any setup and it will show you people who have that setup.

This is my 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country in Rainforest Green Metallic with the 6.2L V8 option. I’ve had many cars in my day but, I’m new to owning a truck and I’m very happy so far! I’m looking at switching out the headlights with one that has a drl strip, either Spyders or Winjets. Not sure which one yet. I’ll be doing a hid conversation as well. I’d also like to do a swap with the current rims. The ones that came with it is not really my style but, would love to put on some old school 5 spoke chrome rims. I also heard of an upgrade to the 2015’s hmi 2.0 to 2.5 that would enable apple CarPlay. I would love to do that as well but, I’ll have to read up a bit more on the forums to see the process. Anyways, nice to meet you all!

Thank you, green is one of my favorite colors and it seems that 2015 was the only year they had this color option. I think it looks really nice with the Saddle Brown leather interior.

    • 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.
    • 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.
