Level it! These trucks look great leveled (and IMO, even better when lifted!) I have a leveling kit on mine for the time being and I'm glad I do. Looks great

Thanks I definitely will do just can't swing if at the moment. How much does a 2" run typically. Going to get the fronts tinted this week and a car stereo place said to just add a kicker 8" hideaway under the seat and that would let my stock bose sing a little better and take the low end demand away . Not looking for that boom but when a deep bass note hits my doors rattle and sounds horrible. I guess if I level it these stock tires will not feel the wheel well either so black rims and 33s I'm at 2k there huh

Level kits only run around $500. Not too bad IMO. And I am still running stock tires and rims. 275/55/20 street tires on stock 20" chrome gmc rims. Looks good in my opinion. Tire is about 31.X inches. Fills out the well pretty decently. Once these wear out I will probably upgrade to 33s

Here's my 2014 would have posted sooner but had to wait 4 weeks for my Are Tonneau cover to come in. Just installed truxedo LED Lights in the box. I plan on having the tires turned black walls out at my first tire rotation.

Finally get to post a pic of my new ride - loaded SLT All Terrain. I put a 2" leveling kit and some 275 65r22 Toyo Open Countrys on it. Looks great and I love it.

Did you remove the Color Matched A/T bumpers, if so this will be the 1st All Terrain Ive personally seen without painted frt/rear bumpers.

The Bose need break in time mine was boomy at first, but now that the speakers are broke in it sounds good!

I wasn't aware of that. Good to know.

Yeah my Bose sound great! Bose in the Vette sound terrible compared to the Silverado. Need a sub in the Vette. :D

I would be nice to add some some speakers out by the tailgate somehow with a cab switch to turn them on and off.

Maybe weatherproof Bose bookshelf speakers under the bed behind the rear bumper. :-))

Good looking set up. How do you like the tires? Did the 275-65 affect your mpg much?

    • 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. 
    • Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
