Here's my new Silverado. Wasn't planning on getting a 2014 but when I found out they had cancelled Blue Topaz Metallic, I had to get one. Love this color.

 

As for the missing Silverado emblems on the doors of the Texas Editions, I'm the inventory manager at a Chevy dealer and this is something GM started doing mid-year on Texas Edition equipped trucks. My truck was built before they started this but every Texas Edition we have gotten in for the past 6-8 months has not had Silverado on the doors.

What kind of wheels are those? Looks good!

As stated above, stock wheels, just plasti dipped. Stuff does wonders. Also did the bow ties with it.

Took some photos of my crew cab last night. 11 exposures to form just one image.

Looks like something you would expect to see in a commercial!

 

You know, except for the fact that there's a blow up alien in the back seat

I'm kind of in the same boat. Really want the blue topaz but don't really want a 2014. If I can find a good deal I might jump early.

 

That vibration issue makes me paranoid.

Topaz was also available in 2013... You might find a good low mileage used one. Here's my '13 that I traded for my '14. (dealer made me an offer I couldn't refuse!)

Yes, those are 20x9 GMC Sierra reproductions. I bought them on eBay. I think at the time they were $749 with free shipping. They come in Black with machined face, All Black, and Chrome.

 

 

EDIT: I see that they are now $919 from the same eBay vendor that I purchased mine from.

 

Obviously a popular wheel... supply and demand drove price up almost $200!

That price is what made me go with a different wheel. 749 is fair but I'm seeing the actual Gmc wheels selling for 1200 around here, I'd rather get the real thing for less than 300 difference

    • 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.
