Thank you sir.

 

One last question if you don't mind. Looking down the side of the truck to the tires stick out any past the fenders? I love the way your truck sits and trying to decide what size tires to run on 22" wheels.

Pretty much right even with the fender line.

Thanks. It looked like they were even or at least not sticking out but knew it had to be close. I like the width of the tire on there. I have been eyeing the DUB Shot Calla (who names these things ha) wheels myself.

I have 305/45/22 on my truck. They came from my 2010 and I had them switched over. They fit much better on the 14 than they did on the 10. I say 22s look good on the truck with the wide tire. These pics are not great but you can see them from the front to let you see how far they stick out. I was taking a pic of my 62. I hope this helps a little.

i find the tungsten paint to scratch and mark easily

what do u guys do to polish them out

 

mike

I had two people ding my truck and I hadn't had it a month yet. I wet sanded the scratch with 3000 grit first to get the scratch out. then I used 3m compound, Meguiar's compound and polish, then wax. It got it all out. You have to watch the wet sanding so you don't go thru the clear coat. That's why I use 3000. I hope this helps!

Headed to pick up my 4X4 6.2L High Country in a couple hours. This color looks so good with the HC interior. No crazy mods planned aside from leveling kit, tint, FAC tonneau, and AMP steps. I may have it tuned, but need to do more research on the benefits and who to use.

its a leer 700 series with accessory wing.

I am very happy with it. I have had leer covers on my last 2 trucks with good success.

They had to make 2 this time though, the first one was painted the wrong tint. to gray. didnt match. sent in my tailgate piece to help them match it. Its spot on this time.

    • I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that. 
    • same here , i have a 2020 first gen and the cost to repair these engines far excedes replacement
    • But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate. 
    • 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.
