I like the LEDs in the grille - do you have a post that describes the LEDs you used or the wiring process? If not, you should!!

 

 

 

The Led is Philip Led DRL 8. They are very simple to install.

You only need to connect 3 wires. (+) (-) and the other wire you connect to the factory running light.

Hey all, glad I found this forum. On New Year's Eve 2015, I bought a new 2015 Silverado 1500 LT, All-Star Edition, and absolutely love it. I would have initially preferred a white one, but the silver has grown on me and continues to. The only thing I've done so far, was had the black bowties put on the grill and tailgate. I think the black and silver go together nicely. Looking for opinions and advice here ... I'm having trouble deciding whether to trim everything else (door handles, running boards, etc.) in chrome or black. Chrome obviously compliments silver nicely, but there's something undeniably awesome, about mixing silver and black.

sailor - That looks awesome. I love the smaller wheels and bigger tires that are on the one you pictured, as well. I'm the last person who "needed" a pickup truck, but the fact is ... I'm done with these modern 4-door sedan cars, and their ridiculous big rims with low-profile racing tires. That was my entire reason for getting my first truck - going back to the luxury "big boat" ride. I had a 1991 Caddy Sedan DeVille back in the day, loved it. They don't make sedans like that anymore, and I would argue that these trucks, are the last vehicle left, that rides like the old boat-sized cars.

 

I'm not sure I'd ever need to "lift" the truck (no Z71 or off-roading for me - hello, I'm in Chicago, lol), but if I can get the smallest wheel with the biggest tire possible someday, that's what I'd prefer to do. The softer and smoother the ride, the better I like it.

New 2016 LT Crew Cab 4x4 to add to the gallery. The photos aren't really anything special but I wanted to take a few of the truck the way it rolled off the lot.

 

I've driven a dark blue truck for the last 15 years and decided to get either white or silver to hide the dirt and salt and to make it a little easier to wax in warmer weather. I was leaning towards white but opted for silver after seeing them both up close.

 

I have an appointment to have Line-x sprayed in on Tuesday and I have a Fold-a-cover G4 Elite ready to be put on after that. Let the fun begin!

^Same here going from 2 blue trucks to the silver. The wife thought it might be nice to see me sometime vs. having me camped out in the driveway cleaning another blue truck.

Really nice - looks exactly like mine does off the lot, except mine is a 2015, so our front grilles are different, that's about it. I also initially wanted the white one and in fact, agonized over it greatly for a month, until I realized that, especially around here (Chicago), all of the white trucks just look like mainstream fleet and utility trucks, etc. That made me real happy that I have the silver truck. No regrets, all good.

 

Just over the weekend, I had gloss black wheel skins put on - looks good, but I need to plasti-dip the center cap and lugs. A month ago, I had the gold bowties taken off, and put black ones on. Silver + black = awesome. Next up, I'm going to gloss black plasti-dip the Silverado and LT chrome emblems. I'm also going to put the Texas Edition emblems on it. This truck came with the All-Star Edition package, which is the same as Texas, but doesn't have an emblem. Besides, the word "Texas" on the truck, will likely annoy people around here, which is totally fine with me, lol. Need to get black running boards and door handle covers, as well.

Hey I recently put the new style tow mirrors on my truck and am looking to vinyl wrap the chrome pieces to color match them. Has anyone used and found a wrap that is pretty close to the silver ice metallic color yet?

    • I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY
    • I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.
    • Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.  
    • The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.  
    • Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
