Here is mine still at the dealer. I wanted leather and a bed liner added so it is another two weeks before I can get it. I am still driving my 2010. I can't wait to get it!

Mine came de-badged like this from the dealership too. I think it looks good like this!

I agree courts94s. I think GM finally realized that they don't need to put all that badging to the trucks to look good. Most people take them off as soon as they buy them. I love this color I hoe you will too!

Hey everyone first post. So just got my truck last Thursday and stumbled upon this forum. And this thread. I originally planned on getting red or blue and color matching the grille and headlight surrounds but saw this color, fell in love and kind of forgot about that. Anyone color match the grille and or headlights on a tungsten yet? pics? also thinking about blacking out the "silverado" sides and rear. Heres a pic of me and my new babay

nope no issues at all, it is pretty tight though an did place a small pressure crack in in the weathertech, but hasn't affected anything so far.

2014 Silverado 1500 5.3v8 4x4 LT model in Tungsten Metallic. I love this new color even more than straight black...never thought I would say that!

Just installed a 1.5" Procomp leveling kit and pulled my wheels/tires from my old 2007 Silverado 1500 5.3v8 4x4 in black. Tires are Nitto Terragrappler 285/65r18s and wheels are Moto Metal (not sure what model but they are from 2007 so probably not made anymore).

 

I definitely can't wait to black plasti-dip my bowties and tint all around as dark as I can go. Rhino lining next week and I'm still deciding on Husky or Weathertech liners...had the Husky ones in my 2007 and they were magical but the Weathertech laser measured ones are so pretty. Anyone had experience with both? How do the Weathertechs do for spills? I know my Husky liners held pretty much a full soda worth of liquid which was nice but I do like the lower profile on the Weathertechs...I'm so torn!

 

Edit: For anyone looking for tires - I bought these exact tires when I got my 2007 and put 80k miles on them before I had to replace them. I have never had such an awesome experience with any other tires and I got another set that took me up to 128k miles before replacing again. Probably could have pulled another 8k or so out of them but I was crawling steep jeep trails hunting boar so I wanted brand new tread. Almost 50k miles the second time around with a well used vehicle. I'm hoping that they perform just as well on the newer model and I would highly recommend them to every GM truck owner. No noticeable road noise for me and they perform extremely well in off-road environments and on the street.

    • You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater
    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
