Experimented with an "extra" bumper I came across, plastidipped the plastics to get a feel for the look..and well now I'm stuck trying to make it happen for real because I love the look!

Did you pull the plastic off to dip it? Or dip it on the truck? If you pulled it off how difficult was it? I can't imagine it being too difficult but I am curious. I am planning to take mine off soon so I can spray mine with some Rustoleum truck bed liner to give it a bit better grip.

It looks good but I am not sure if I want to take off my shoes to get into the truck all the time. How do you think it will hold up?

I found a post on you tube on the 2014 sierra dome light. The wires are under the drivers side windshield post.or the grab handle. it's the bigger grey wire. I haven't looked yet on mine but that's where it was said to be. I'm going to use a 12 volt tester and poke the wire to see if it works as it should. It will be the weekend till I get to mine. I'm planning on installing lights on my doors inside under the handles on the door panel so it will light up the interior and when I open the doors it will light up the steps. I'm going to route the wires with the other wires thru the rubber sleeve that carries the other door wires.Now if I can only figure out how to get the panel off .

Mudmutt how is the airaid? Difference in noise? Responsiveness?

Take off feels a little smoother. MPGs maybe between .5 to 1 ... Under the hood looks much better than the stock unit. You can definitely hear it when you get on it. I am still running stock exhaust ... After market duals would sure help but not sure if I am ready for the v4 drone that comes with them.

 

Not a bad upgrade for 2 bills.

201-785 is the 5.3L part number for the dry filter kit .... That's what I went with.

 

Check this url out :

ah... the 5.3 is out. The 6.2 still isnt. My bad, should have specified.

 

Thanks for the link though, hah.

Just got my truck back after having 1.5" body lift installed, I think it looks good. Just a little extra so I can squeeze some more rubber under there instead of these 285/55/20's. And I can still park in my parking garage. I'd post a pic but it won't let me for some reason.

Please figure it out and post.

Its been long over due of what ive done so far: got my windows and windshield tinted, added a gibson exhaust, added floor lights, added lights to the center console that come one at night, swapped out headlights for projector lights and HID, plastidipped bowties and side emblems, rough country 2.5" lift, swapped stock tires for 275/77R18 exo grapplers, plastidipped rims (need to be redone after getting my tires)

Guys, anyone put led replacement bulbs in? Got a plethora of LED bulbs laying around and I'm gonna throw them in the stock heads and tails until my OEM projectors get back from FAST. The reason I ask is because I'm wondering how they look under the amber portions of the headlights and red taillights...any one got some pictures for me? I figure they'll be noticeably brighter but how much brighter can they be??

The Jr. kit for the 6.2 is available. P/N 201-711 for dry filter , 200-711 for the oiled filter.

    • 2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!
    • 2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.  
    • Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra. 
    • I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.
