Great thanks! I actually don't have the brake controller sorry forgot to mention that. I have the pocket there. 

 

So the entire aluminum/plastic piece comes off first, then you can remove the black piece?

 

When you take the plastic off the whole thing comes off. Here's a video of how they should do it.

Wrapped interior brushed aluminum trim with kryptek typhoon matte. Not 3M brand and it was an "upgraded" exterior version so it was tacky as hell. The lady I spoke with on the phone said it was about the same level of difficulty to install and wouldn't leave residue but even just during the initial application when I pulled up there were multiple times I saw residue. Made certain parts of the wrap look slightly different (areas I pulled up vs didn't) and complex corners were hell.

All in all though I like the look and I've got more than enough to wrap another truck interior or other stuff. Expensive as hell but I really love kryptek and the truck has a theme now (matching seat covers).

 

Additionally I installed the Go Rhino RB20 steps. Pretty straightforward install although I had to punch out a hole for bolts and file as it wasn't punched out during assembly. Went in fine, instructions were slightly off from parts they gave me (maybe difference in years) but was pretty straight forward, no major complaints during install.

I do wish that the mounts were thinner as when you walk up to the truck you can clearly see the 4 points it mounts to the truck. Also wouldn't mind if it was slightly tighter to the body, most of the videos made it seem like it was, but for whatever reason it isn't in my install. Lastly the front is slightly wider than the rear. Actually sort of lines up with the additional 1.5" track width in the front. Steps are pretty grippy overall, interested to see how much snow they collect during the winter.

 

Next up is installing my amber lamin-x fog light film and hopefully by end of month my diamondback cover. Also ordered a husky rear storage bin as I've been carrying everything (straps, jumper cables, bungee cords, first aid, etc.) around in an old backpack.

 

I really went hog wild the past few weeks and need to calm it down a bit. Still a bit left I want to do (Upgraded stereo, line-x front and rear bumper, line-x chrome mirror caps, new grille, custom badges front and rear, front and rear off road lights) and some things I'm up in the air about (possibly line-xed fender flares, blackout the tan headliner trim and black US flag headliner, grille guard). For now though she will probably sit for the rest of the year. Need to let the bank fill back up to a more comfortable level and I've got my eyes on a scar 17s so we will see what happens there.

Nice truck! The toys that go bang hit the bank harder that the trucks do sometimes. Not sure which addiction is worse.

How hard is the illuminated door handle install? Specifically the wiring? Do you have a write-up?

Time to take the boards off and get them powdercoated gloss black to match!

Phil certainly has a nice looking truck.  I wonder if he has ever thought about adding tow mirrors???

    • 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. 
    • 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.
