How did you get those fog lights in there? Are those Rigid?

 

Looks sweet!

Looks good to me. Did you buy the color matched mirrors or have them painted?

Actually the color matched door handles and mirror caps were on the truck when I bought it new.

It looks great. I've considered chrome door handles, mirror, and body molding. But I know there's a fine line between improving the look and doing too much. So I can't decide if I want all those items chromed out or just some of them.

Has anyone ever purchased anything online from GMPartsdirect.com? I'm just wondering how reliable they are and are their products true GM parts? They seem to have very good pricing.

Thank you... I was a bit concerned that the window trim might be too much, but so far I like it. Don't think I'll make anymore changes.

I seen a Dodge Ram that was white and had everything he could chromed out.... Way too much for my taste! :nonod:

Better?

Looks just like mine,and black too, but in the honeycomb grille. What lights did you use? I think we are the only two with grille marker lights.

Just a fyi, I used Maxxima 3/4 inch LED clearance markers which fit perfect in the honeycomb grille. Clear lens with Amber LEDs. Got them off Amazon. I'm interested to know which ones J used.

What grille do you have? If I remember correctly on mine (honeycomb) the openings are 1 1/4 width, and 2 1/2 length. So these should fit. Only concern would be the diamond shape of them being too wide at the angles compared to the honeycomb opening on the grille.

Loaded the kayaks on the Invis-A-Rack for the first time. Love being able to close the tonneau with the rack on.

 

It's a shame it's been a rough year so far and this will be their first trip out.

Well, today was supposed to be a good day for my 14. Body shop finally fixed the scratch on my truck that i have had since the day i got the thing. They sent it over to service and had the two recalls worked out. DiabloSport tuners arrived and truck was to be tuned.

 

However after picking it up from the shop my business partner followed me back to our shop and discovered my truck was dog tracking from the lift that was recently put on. The truck has had some shake in it since we got it back but we spoke with the shop and they assured it was just something wrong with the DynaBeads that were used to balance the tires and would look at it at the 500 mile re-torque but after today we have seen what the real problem is.

 

needless to say i am without my truck again. The shop told us that they are basically going to remove the lift and reinstall it making sure everything is 100%

 

starting to miss my truck after the amount of time it has been in the shop recently...

    • 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.
    • Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken. 
    • Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
