That actually looks pretty good. One thing you could do is leave the canopy the colour that it is, but add a bit of accenting to your truck of the same colour. Could use some vinyl decalling could look sharp! I added some matte black vinyl to my Tungsten Metallic to offset it a bit and it turned out good.

 

Sorry, but I think that would look horrible. Different shades of black/grey/silver are one thing, clashing shades of brown/tan are another.

 

Perhaps I would think it might look good if I did it, but I'm really not willing to spend cash on something that I think would likely look bad, at least to me.

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.

Found an hour of free time yesterday and installed GM - Illuminated Door Sills. Love the way they look! Of course, made a how to video. The box didn't come with instructions and tried searching he

Decided to try 2 thin coats of plasti-dip on the taillights. I am not a fan of the chrome bezels inside the light but my last resort is opening the taillights and plasti-dipping the chrome.

I just noticed you have the nerf bars from GM I ordered and am having installed tomorrow. How do you like them? Any issues with them with rust or anything? They seem solid.

I like them. Solid bars. No rust yet (knock on wood). I only have 16xx miles on it. I stored the truck this winter to keep the salt off.I have seen some other steps just like mine but there is a third section that is just below the front of the bed, so you can get easy access. That one would have been nice :)

Ya I have seen those. N-Fab and Rough Country have wheel to wheel nerf bars. I figure I've got the steps on the rear bumper so I don't really need the side ones too. Plus the GM ones you have look thicker with wider steps. I've heard complaints with the other ones that it's awkward to get out of the truck due to their placement.

 

Anyways, thanks again for the info. They look good on your truck and can't wait to get mine on tomorrow!

Painted my bow tie today. Turned out a lot better than I thought it would.

Lighting looks fine, in daylight and night. The only thing i dont like is at night, when the lights are on and if you were right up to it, you can see it is spotty. But from a far its fine.

I'd hate to remove the plastidip with only 2 coats. Would be a pain.

If I decide to remove the 2 coats and if its hard to remove, I'll prolly just put on a full coat or two and I'll remove it then. It's really easy to remove it when its fully coated.

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
