Does your rear tire just rub your rear fender all the time? Lol

 

Looks good, but I can't see how you could even get out of a cocked driveway without rubbing the rear tires. I'm sure the front is even worse since those wheels turn

2500 badges on a 6 lug truck?!

 

 

Fat fingered, and shot from the hip.

WT with V8 in Mexico is sold as "2500"; HD is sold as 2500HD

It miraculously doesn't, even though it looks like it; I'll take a pic of the fender for evidence.

 

Fronts, don't.... after I removed the little mud guards and zip tied the front of the fender liner [emoji14]

Truck looks good! Looks just like mine but mine's black!

 

I like those replica headlights too! how do you like them so far?

Very clean setup you have. Like it a lot. What kind of setup?

 

Do you have any rubbing with the 65s? Also is the chrome Plasta dipped? Looks good

New Denali sitting at the local dealer. Specifically the lighting.

Love the lights tyrich88 , good value for a replica light , 10 year warranty too , if you think about it the factory lights aren't warrantied that long !

I'm just not feeling the 2016 sierra frontends at all .... they look so bug eyed to me now .... the 14-15 are so much cleaner .... I also thought the 16 silverado frontend was badass in pics but in person they look real busy

I just traded in my 2014 Sierra for a 2016. I was going to get a '15 with the 20% discount but was offered the same deal on a new '16. Night and day difference between the models. The LED lighting is amazing and Apple Carplay is a huge plus. The dealership also added in a 2" RC lift and Nitto Terra Grappler G2 tires.

    • This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.
    • 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.
