Looked all over for that color, and could never find one exactly like I wanted.  I pass em all the time now, and the Chevy version, and am so jealous every friggin time!  Looks great! 

Thanks man! I wasn’t a huge fan when I first bought it but I didn’t want white or black. It’s def grown on me since day one and I wouldn’t trade it. The coolest part is I can not wash it for weeks and from 5+ weeks away it still looks clean. I’m sad they got rid of it after 2016 but I think the new version of it is satin steel metallic on the 2019. Thank you for the compliment! Leaving everything on the outside alone since converting the front end. Next up will be new shocks and struts lol

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.

Yeah I know they have to be broken in.  Everybody's procedure is different though.  This is what they recommend
 
After driving the first 15-20 miles at around 60 mph, it is best to stop and let the differential cool completely – usually about 1hr.  You will do this 5 times for the first 100 miles of the breakin procedure. Maintaining a speed below 65 mph and driving conservatively for the first 500 miles is also advised. The gear oil should be changed after 500 miles. We recommend that you drive at least 500 miles before any heavy use or towing. During the first 45 miles of actual towing, only drive 10-15 miles at a time before stopping to let the differential cool.


I’m guessing you went Yukon based on break in? I love my Yukon gears. They stank for a bit tho when you heat me up good but once broken in-OMG.

I didn’t go as big tho; 4.10 for me.

Yeah I went Yukon gears. They’re the only ones that make a 4.56 for both front/rear differentials for these late model trucks.

Nice. I love mine. But I need to take them back off to raise the front a little more. I installed them how they came and it’s higher for sure, but still has a very noticeable rake.

Picked my truck up with the 4.56’s. Holy crap what a difference. The truck moves absolutely effortlessly. It’s a very odd feeling but I love it. For some reason they couldn’t get the gear ratio changed on my tuner so my speedo is way outta whack. Every time they would go to punch in 4.56 the tuner would freeze up. I noticed when I went to start my truck up to leave the shop a low battery warning popped up on the dash.  I suspect that is the problem. I know these tuners get all wonky when you got a low voltage from the battery. It’s on the tender now and I’ll get the ratio dialed in in the morning.  They scanned the abs code and as I suspected I got a wheel speed sensor out. I guess I’ll be replacing that soon. Should take care of my service stabilitrac error. All in all a good day

In tune there are a few locations you can adjust as it may throw a few things off. There is also a final size of the tire so the speed is correct. But sounds like they know what they are doing.

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      on-wheel cellphone control: 2026 1500 WT (2.7L 4WD std cab)

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.
