Oil change, tire rotation and balance, leveling kit installed, and alignment. I think it turned out good.

There is a "hidden" abs plastic cover you can buy cheap for the huge pocket in front of the cupholders then buy a good wireless chargers and hardwire it to cigarette port. Mount charger pad to underside of plastic.
Faster charger and charges everything that is wireless and is easy install. I like the phone up front more anyways.

Many months ago I searched for days for it and couldn't find it. When he was selling them I didnt need it but then I got the Note 9 a d doesnt fit. As I said the 2nd charger mod seems the better choice in the long run anyways.

Thanks! Yep, they’re just the factory size, 275/55/20. Already had them before the level. When it’s time for new tires I’ll go a little bigger

Test fit my new Uniden Bearcat 980SSB CB. Just waiting on my 4' Firestick antennae to arrive. Plan on fitting a piece of plexiglass with carbon fiber vinyl wrap to cover open space below CB.cb2.thumb.JPG.8fc5f4f30427d8d5042cb8a7dfa681fe.JPGcb1.thumb.JPG.a77fd4d37f1a1665cfeb33055700d44f.JPG

Installed a Ranch Hand grille gaurd I bought used for only $250. Not a bad deal.. Still iffy about that chrome grill hiding behind it though. At least it covered it up some.

Looks good, even with the red letters.  Thought about blacking out the letters?

Maybe you can buy @Kurtj29's old one, and get it painted like he did to his new one.

That's where I had my Uniden PC122XL (CB w/ U/L SSB) & Realistic PRO-2026 Scanner, in my '15 Silverado.  My 4' Firestik Antenna was (on my '15)/is (on my '18) on the right forward stake hole, with super duty barrel spring, but I'm looking at getting a "Sport Bar," roll-bar, and relocating it to the top of that.  Looking at putting them in my '18 in the same spot, but I have to purchase & install a new front end of the full console to do it, cupholder does NOT move on '16+.  :mad:  I'm looking at putting a cover around the radios, keeps trash, fries, etc, from getting down in the hole/cubbie where the radios are.  I may temp locate the radios forward of the cupholder, until I can get a more suitable forward section of the center console.  As for right now, I have the mount bracket, antenna, spring mounted on my '18, seeing how it will hold up, without a tonneau cover helping hold it down, going with a lower profile cover, than I had on my '15.  Attached the album for my '15, haven't posted any pictures lately of my '18, since I got my personal tags.

It’s a Weston HDX Grill Guard. Got it and had it installed at a truck accessory shop. Think it was $675

    • I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed
    • Did you ever find a resolution to this? my 2019 Silverado 1500 is showing the exact same headlights issues with the exact same symptoms.  would help a ton if anyone has any advice on this or better yet a known solution..
    • Wawa and Meijer here have ethanol free (88 & 89) I use for my mower and lawn equipment.  Its not much more than reg.  I paid $3.29 a few weeks ago.  
    • tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.
    • NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
