That Pearl white looks awesome against the snow's white. Killer wheels too!!!

 

I would like to get opinions on leveling kits. Specially GM-sanctioned ones that won't screw with my truck's warranty. Please ?

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Anyone have experience with the diodedynamics.com HID kit for 2014 sierra? Listed for $150, not bad.

Custom brackets for rigid dually d2's. These guys are willing to do full on CNC aluminum brackets that will look much much better and be all 1 piece! These are adjustable too.

Are the brackets from rigid or elsewhere? Thanks.

They are from a fab shop here locally. Wasn't a fan of the rigid ones. This fab shop is willing to produce these if enough people want them. I think they are much better looking than the rigids.

Can they fab some up for a silverado to house the same DOT lights?

Count me in for a set. These will fit both Silverado and Sierra correct?

Sierra fogs are more square while the silverado are more rectangle. But I'm sure if enough people either side sierra or silverado these guys will do it. They do some solid work. These guys built my 1000 for me which is attached.

Got my truck back from the body shop .

I now realize that I didn't take a picture of the damage to the hood, but it's smooth now.

And, the day I got it back:

I still need to get around to fixing the grille. I have the two pieces that broke out of it, I just don't have anywhere warm to do it (Glue doesn't work too well in -33 C). I may end up getting a new grille for it eventually, possibly a High country grille just to change it up.

 

I also had an idea about taking the black/chrome bars from a GMC All terrain grille and seeing if I could mount them in a chevy grille like this:

Anybody with an AT grill think this is doable? It would take a lot of cutting and cobbling together, I likely won't try it unless I can get one for cheap.

I actually haven't thought about doing that to a Chevy grille. But, my personal opinion is that it doesn't go that good in the Chevy grille like you have it in the pic. Maybe if you took an aftermarket grille for the Chevy that's open without the middle horizontal bar and then put 2 or 3 of the A/T grille pieces like you're thinking. I love my Z71 grille so I don't plan on replacing it or modding it at all.

bf9f19b44a8f4ada5e0666ec586a9402.jpg I did a mod to disable the amber parking lights with a switch, while I was at it I added led lights on top of the grill facing down, also powered by a switch.

Did some colormatching tonight. Will post up some more pictures in a few hours after everything is fully dry and reinstalled[emoji106]

BTW, to remove the small aluminum trim piece around the radio control knobs. It's not a difficult process, but a tedious and very aggravating process

You have to completely take apart the trim that it sits inside of.

You mean for taking apart the screen? Oh believe me, I cringed every time I turned a bolt. Only used a screwdriver. No way I was gonna use any kind of power tool on that thing.

Is the newly painted surface smooth like the silverado's trim or rough? Are you matching it with the other trim inside (console, door trim)?

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.
