Im not a fan of the looks of the spyders, but that's just my personal "taste"

 

Other than that, you haven't had any issues with condensation and moisture build up in the aftermarket lamps?

So I got some gloss black on my door pillars to give it a better flowing look. I hated the way the white paint broke up look on the double cabs. Next i'm going to do the chrome window trim, door handles and mirror caps then debadge all the other chrome. Should give it a cleaner look overall.

Beautiful ride, I love white.

Where did you get the gloss black for the middle window trim ? That looks great

Does anyone have the Anzo USA headlamps? Just wondering if they are quality built and not having issues like condensation build up on the stock headlamps

Finally found a grill guard that will work with my sensors.

Did you post the YouTube video of the install? Does your truck say dropkick? If so your video showed me how to get mine out! Haha and no I haven't had any issues yet but they haven't been in long. For what I paid for them I don't expect any issues though, but who knows!

I've always thought these trucks look better with the air damn…

I have them and I LOVE them. Takes a few adjustments to get the projectors aimed correctly but not a big deal at all!

I plan on getting them only if I keep having condensation issues with my stock lamps. I talked to the service writer and showed him the picture of the condensation in my headlamps and he was like "yeah, just bring it in and we'll replace them" which was pretty cool considering the stories I've heard of warranty work at GM dealerships

My stock lights did the same thing. It was annoying.

I know this is What did you do,but in my case it's what I didn't do. I bought a AVS Bugflector #23027 and decided not to put it on. I have it for trade. Brand new never opened. I think this is the best place to post,then someone will post a pick of it on their truck. It fits the 1500 Sierra. I'm looking for foot well and engine compartment lights.

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
