Here is one from a few days ago after a mid-winter bath. Camera really didn’t do it justice at sunset.

What kind of wheel set up do you have in mind? I have the same truck but can’t decide if I want to keep the 22s. I have the silver/chrome version. I like your black inserts.

Thanks, I like the black inserts as well but, given the choice, I think I may end up with something all black like the Fuel Hydro 20x9's, still making up my mind though.  I like the more aggressive tread in an all-terrain.  It just bugs me that my truck is 4x4 with a 6.2 V8 running on low-profile 45's and 22" wheels...   I'm not into all the bling and have already changed out the chrome mirror caps and door handles for all black.  Looks much better IMO.   Plus, I think if I choose wisely on the tires, it will also improve the ride.  First is a leveling lift though.

I hear you on the wheel set up. I loved my 18s with 33s on my old Silverado. Do you have any pics with the black mirrors/handles. I’m thinking  to plastidip the chrome on the grill. I’ve seen a few Denali’s all blacked out and I love it!

Plastic dip works well IMO,  

I did the chrome on mirrors,  window trim and door trim....   Hit the 2 yr mark,  have a few spots on mirrors,   will redo this summer...

This is the only picture I currently have - taken from a crowded garage after the rain...   Plastidip does work well in my experience but removal from something like the Denali grill could be very time consuming.  I opted to just replace the handles and mirror caps because they weren't that expensive from http://www.shopchevyparts.com/  Just beware that the shipping can be pricey.

Just my opinion but the stock rims look much better then what you are looking to buy.

2018 Sierra 1500 STL Z71 Premium Package Crew Cab Cocoa Dune Interior. Bought in Feb. Almost bought a 2017 Silverado before year end but couldn't make up my mind. Glad I did as got as good of deal on this GMC with more options and had GM card promotion that doubled my points to $3000.20180303_135207.thumb.png.733e633819c6eb94580f07392e7032a0.png20180303_135143.thumb.png.458f80634bf8d79bf98909b2205e3612.png20180303_135118.thumb.png.60d8262607993f9997374129a79304c3.png

    • I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !. 
    • Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.
    • Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!
    • I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.
    • The TCM has to be flashed before it can drive.   If you installed it the way it is, it has the OS (operating system/program) from the 2010 truck you got it from. That will not match with the VIN/OS pair that your 2013 truck has.   You can do the full install. Then tow it to a dealership and they can flash the trucks PCM/TCM with the latest program for your VIN.
