Idk man, to much money invested on your Silverado to trade. But then again you never did stick to one set of wheels for long haha.

I've seen some decals on instagram saying dirty money on some really nice trucks. Like come on, are you proud of making your truck like that with dirty money? This is my contribution with my hard earned money. Probably going on my back window to add 10hp more lol

Installed the 50w CREE LED Reverse bulbs. Wow they are much brighter than stock.

When I got my truck someone had already tinted the taillights and I can hardly see to back up at night. The lights look good but they are painted. I wonder if these would help my situation? I searched Amazon and there are different versions of Cree 50 watt backup lights. What did you wind up getting?

Thanks,

Eddie

In my personal experience even a brighter bulb inside a tinted headlight/taillight won't work much. I suggest adding led pods under your bumper for backing up. You won't regret it.

LED pods are what I have been thinking of doing. I just don't like the pods hanging down from the bumper. I saw the pics of the LED bulbs and wondered if they might help.

There's a member on here that has a slim LED light bar, not square like Ridged. He mounted them to his towing frame.

Had a bit of a scare. Was driving down the interstate when "Service Stabilitrak" came up. Fine. Less than a minute later, all gauges shut off, including the DIC, and then the DIC came back on and started displaying "Service 4WD", "Service Brakes", "Brake assist off, drive with care", "Steering assist off, drive with care". Then something among the lines of "Power Steering Malfunction" came on at which point the only thing that worked was the engine and the radio. I've driven cars without power steering before, including older trucks, but this was beyond anything I've ever had to steer. Oh, and after exiting the highway I stopped at a red light and had another surprise: transmission wouldn't shift out of first anymore. It's amazing how dependent on electrics modern vehicles are.

 

Looking forward to have the dealer tell me what happened.

Similar thing happened to me an my old 08 Silvy, was driving to work, all of the sudden dash lights came on, power steering went out, and I couldn't accelerate at all...basically coasted into the Speedway that was close....

 

Ended up being the throttle body...needless to say, it was scary as shit...had to use all my strength just to steer the truck into the station...

    • 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.
    • I have 2 choices. 
    • Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
