Took me a little bit to get used to seeing them on the truck.  I honestly like the look of the truck without any boards better, but I was worried about destroying my seats without them.  I like them, but there are a few fitment things that could be better.  I am having trouble getting them perfectly level.  I'm a little anal about that stuff so it catches my eye when one of the gaps are off or the board doesn't sit flat on the mounts.  There is enough adjustment in the mounts that I think I can shim them with some washers to get them perfect, I just haven't had time to mess with them yet.    They are rock solid though and look like they will hold up better than the nerf bars that were originally on the truck.  

Thank You For the info.

I just redid all my emblems. I pulled them off and painted them myself. Looks totally factory!

For all wondering, on the 2017-2018 2500 HD's, you can fit your hand down through the top with the hood latch is to get to the emblem. You DO NOT have to take off the radiator shroud. You can feel the tabs from the backside and pop out the emblem. Also, the gold portion is held in by plastic tabs that are press fit from the back to hold them in place. All you do it get a Super thin paint scraper, heat up the gold portion, and slide the paint scraper between the gold and chrome and cut the tabs. Sand smooth and re apply with 3m double faced tape. Painted with Caliper paint...

Cost was about $20...

First brand new truck

Congratulations on you new truck.  My 2018 is my first brand new vehicle as well.  I thought I'd always buy used, but the financing options offered made a new truck work best for me at the time of purchase.

Just picked up a 2018 GMC Sierra Denali.  Love this truck. I need to get a lift or level.  I am also thinking about replacing the Denali grill with an SLT grill.  I photoshopped what I think it will look like - comments?

 

Here is a current picture of it - all stock

Here is the photoshopped version. I have picked up an SLT grill, I need to get the chrome surround painted black, pick up some red tow hooks and then Plasti-dip the chrome area under the grill.  Let me know, or should I keep the Denali grill?

110% keep the Denali grill, do NOT paint the tow hooks red, and look into a BDS lift

Nice truck 18 Elevation.

 

Kurt, I really like your grille photoshop. I think it looks great. I would not do the red tow hooks though.

 

Nice blade KJS.

Look at getting a CST Lift Kit, highest quality you can have installed. All the other lifts make your track wider. CST, keeping your stock wheels too.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.

      Engine vibration after motor mount replacement.

      By 1998sleaze · Posted

      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.
