Thank you. How about a photo, or two of those steps on your truck, never rested? Right now I'm contemplating taping off my stuff, and plasti dipping my grill black

Anyone have any experience with these color-matched grille surrounds? I'd rather buy one of these than paint my chrome surround black. But one of the reasons I bought a Z71 was because I loved the grille so much. I'm not getting rid of the Z71 grille inserts for black honey-comb.

Pretty sure its just the center piece, and doesn't include the pieces around the headlights. I'm waiting for plasti dip paint to dry on my grille as we speak/type!! Fingers crossed

I'm very interested in seeing the finished product. I've been contemplating doing the same thing to mine. Did you add glossifier over the black?

Oh boy, plumber, not painter. Few coats of plasti dip, then thought I would use a couple coats of paint for plastic to help bring a bit of shine before I use clear. Looks like sand, must be over spray in some areas, think I might be screwed!!

I think some of us should get together, have a truck tricking party, and help each other out... My patience with this project is wearing thin.

OK, from what I'm seeing this is going to be good from far, but far from good, well to my standards anyway. Hell, I'm out $30.00 and an afternoon. At least I'm taking one for the team, gonna drink a beer, pull the tape and order pre painted parts.. Lol

So you painted over plasti-dip? You still should be able to peel it off if it didn't come out right.

Yeah, think I'm gonna peal it off. Back to the drawing board. At least we got a peak of what it would look like black

I added the chrome tailgate handle and had the surround painted to match (silver), and I added the GM oem painted fender flares and mud guards.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      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

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      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.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      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.
