After de-badging my 2014 RCSB Z71, the red inserts on the GMC badge in the grill started to look odd, so I replaced them with Billet aluminum inserts.

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.

Ouch, that sucks. Does insurance cover that? Lol

Yea they are going to cover all the repairs and a rental for the time it's in the shop. All I have to cover is my deductible.

That's my next project. I'm gonna be getting the skid painted to match then install. Did you remove the bumper to do this or just loosen up all the bolts and move it around to get all the bolts?

Picked the new truck up on Friday 7/15/16. Took the running boards off on Saturday and sold them for $450, I'll use that as a start to the AMP steps. Got tinted on monday but haven't had time to take a picture until today when took her on her first roadtrip for 127 highway miles...no problems whatsoever. Loving the 16 soooooooooooooo much more than the 14 that was a constant headache.

What % tint did you go with? Can't decide what to do on my 16.

I went with a 5% brow, 5% driver and passenger window and 15% back seat and 3 back windows. On top of factory windows which come 70% front and 24% back it comes out to about 3.5 % (.7x.05=.035 and .24x.15=.036) on everything except the windshield. My last vehicle was a tahoe with 5% all around and the back was too dark on top of factory tint. Before that I had a Benz with 5 % all around so I'm used to dark vehicles. I had a 14 with 15% on the front windows (not windshield) and 35% over the back five windows and it wasn't close to dark enough, could still see in easily. I want my tint dark enough that you can't see inside, even in the daytime but as I hunt and travel country roads in the dark I still need to be able to see out sometimes. I think this was the perfect blend of privacy, protection and still being able to see well even at night. I'm not sure of your state laws so you might consider them but around here they don't really care too much about tint. In the last 10+ years of driving around the nation living in NY, TX, CA, FL, OK and AR I've only been pulled over once for tint.

Finished up the passenger side truck bed this afternoon. Hoping to get the whole rear end of the truck into my local Line-X dealer this week. Then next week start on the front fenders and passenger side doors. Still looking to order a hood as well.

I feel your pain. I had my 03 about a year. Went to visit family in North Dakota and had $10,000 worth of hail damage. They had to basically Ruskin 3/4 of the truck. New hood, roof, front fender, and bed side. All of the panels had to to be massaged. Hail can do a lot of damage. Can't wait to see how the bed liner looks make sure to get the UV Protectant or it will fade really quick.

I'm going to be using Line-X either Premium or some new color match technique. Meeting with the guys there to see the new color match process. They claim it'll look the same as paint decides the line x texture of course.

      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.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      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.

      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.
