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.

    • I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY
    • I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.
    • Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.  
    • The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.  
    • Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
