What did you do with your factory hood? Interested in selling it?

i don't mind selling it (i have no use for it) but this thing is huge, so i don't know about freight

Installed my FX-R retrofit kit today. I already had the FX-R projectors (2.5", not 3" like I had originally thought). The size difference is noticeable; it doesn't fill up the hole for the projector like I would like it to, but it's really one of those things people will only notice if I point it out to them. I might eventually just buy the 3" and swap them out, but I am pretty pleased with the light output.

 

On my way home from my girlfriend's house tonight, the bugs were so thick for about 5 miles there that it sounded like it was raining. Guess the brighter lights attracted an enormous amount of bugs, ha!

Just a shot to give you an idea of the amount of bugs that accumulated

Had the front two windows tinted as they were not done at the dealership and they wanted way too much to do it.

 

Looks a lot better!

Freight would be about $200. But if it fits within GreyHound Shipping guidelines it would probably be under $100. I'm in no rush so whenever you get around to it see if it meets the criteria below.

 

"Size: The maximum weight per package is 100 pounds. The maximum dimensions that we can accommodate are 82" L x 47" W x 30" H."

Took my truck in for its first free maintenance visit today.

Other than the dealer making me wait till it was at 25% oil life, it was a painless affair.

They washed it for me as well.

 

One thing that got me curious is why I had to provide my personal info when he already had my VIN.

Aren't the dealers hooked into the Chevy database? Or is only the vehicle info available and not the owner data?

The dealer I went to the first 2 times (same one I bought the truck from) said it had to be under 20%. I think since dealerships are privately owned they can choose rather to be under a certain % or not. I know some have said on here that some don't care about the %. It's probably so someone doesn't go by the old mileage from back in the day and try to do is at 3,000 or even less. I had my 3rd done a couple months ago and that's going to be the last one since I have a little over a month before the 2 years is up and the mileage would be over 24,000 even if I drove the hell out of it for one month.

 

As for the info, if you bought the truck from them they will already have all your info but if you didn't get it from there then they might need to get your basic info. Maybe it's quicker to just ask for the information instead of looking it up. I know they do a VIN history to see if you have any recalls, but not sure if they can just look up all your info from the VIN. I know when I made the appt. for my last free oil change and tire rotation I gave her my name and she didn't find me cause I didn't buy the truck from there and had never went there for anything. I believe they still need to put your info in their personal system.

    • same here , i have a 2020 first gen and the cost to repair these engines far excedes replacement
    • 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. 
    • 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.
