Nice taillights. 

You should remove the Palm Chevrolet decal.

Much cleaner look without IMO.

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.

+1 on that question... i have the low profile tape ons and i've liked them so far because they sort of look like the in-channel... real clean minimal look, but even with my windows closed i hear them whizznistling on the highway.

If I let driver's window auto up it will go back down.

Never paid any attention to it.

I'm like you, I don't know how loud it would be without it because I put the AVS in channel visors on right away back when I first got my truck in 2016. But the window should stay up when doing the auto up. I know I can either manually raise the window or auto up and it works either way. I have seen other threads with same issue but don't recall exactly what the fix was. I think I tried to leave the window closed as much as possible when I first installed them.

From what I recall, the AVS instructions mentioned rolling window up and down 5 times and then leaving them up for 24-48 hours. Also another possibility is to do the reprogramming which is a simple as rolling down the window and then manually closing all the way and holding switch in closed mode for 2-3 seconds. 

 

And I also found this post in another thread that has more steps to follow:

 

Here's the short version that works (it's actually a GM-approved procedure): 
  
1.  Roll windows all the way up.  As the window closes hold up button for 3-5 seconds. 
2.  Roll windows all the way down.  As the window opens hold down button for 3-5 seconds. 
3.  Roll windows all the way up.  As the window closes hold up button for 15-20 seconds. 
4.  Leave the windows closed for 24-48 hours.  More heat/sun is better since it lets the vent visors mold around the weatherstripping. 
  
Has worked on most of the trucks we have dealt with ....

I have the in-channel vent deflectors from GM - I think they are from EGR.
Took a bit to break them in - left windows up for quite a bit after install but I, occasionally, got the roll window down and back up message.
Still, after a bit of time, no issues.IMG_0559.thumb.jpg.89d05d38b8ec3551868116422ed3a7d3.jpg

I agree, however, it's a bit of a "status" symbol that I didn't buy my truck at some used car dealer other than the manufacturer dealer in my mind.
Probably stupid, but, then, I often am.

what about wind with the windows down? any difference? any noise while driving?

my only reason for getting any would be to reduce the wind tornado with the windows down

Hey guys! Today I had a successful exhaust leak repair. Ended up having three broken bolts; replaced them and the gasket. Fortunately the manifold itself was in great shape. Truck is back to normal and cold start is smooth! 🙂

 

Also did just a general inspection and rotated/balanced the tires while I was at it.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
