Yes it is the AVS aeroskin in chrome, I like it better than the others I have had in the past since it is flush and smooth, no snags. I think it is a good fit on these trucks with the chrome across the top already or the smoke for dark colors looks nice. Easy to install, has 3M tape already applied so you just test fit and then remove some of one side of the tape and work your way across the hood. The fit is excellent so the only thing you are watching for when installing is that the distance is exact on both sides of the hood.

 

I don't quite understand how the AVS aeroskin works. If it is flush with the hood, then how does it make a difference?

Yes it is flush with the hood so it is a hood protector not a bug deflector. It does not change the aerodynamics of your vehicle.

Installed the reverse LED lights.
details. Type of bar and which exact wires did you tap. Also you need to change the tail light reverse yellow bulb so they can match.

I had the Line-x premium spray bed liner done and installed my fold-a-cover G4 elite and personal caddy installed. I also added a bow tie emblem to the caddy, very satisfied with the results.

The 60" bar I had previously installed, I should have been clearer in my post. Yesterday I installed the small LED's in the back of the steps, but the light bar I got on Ebay, link below. I just purchased another 4 wire flat connector so that the light bar can be easily unplugged and replaced if necessary. I opened up the harness protection behind the OEM trailer plugs and ID'd the wires and tapped/soldered there. just verified with a voltmeter as I went.

The small LED's in the step of the bumper I wired into the reverse light wires grn/blk at the plug in the rear light housing. Here is the link to those lights. To be so small and cheap they are pretty bright.

You are right about the changing the reverse bulbs to LED. Once you start LED replacement regular bulbs look horrible. I have LED's in the cargo light, license plate, foot well, and bumper now. Fogs and reverse lights next.

I was at a friends house last week that replaced his kitchen ceiling can lights with LED's and it is a huge difference, so now I need to get some led's for the house!

How hard was it doing that?

 

Nothing to it, pop the old pillar cover off and snap the new in place and place two bolts in with covers and your done.

Very nice truck! Perfect example of why it is hard to beat black!

Installed driver side assist handle and use it. Agree with the "balance" comments. Also, recently changed WeatherTech bedliner to Chevy Bowtie Bedrug and changed Continental Crosscontact LX20 tires to Michelin LTX M/S2. The Michelins ride smoother and much better overall handling.

    • Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer
    • Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.
    • My 6.6 gas lt8 had lifter noise with 28000 miles bought new 2026 and while driven to dealer it threw #1 rod bearing “HD my ass” good luck with yours i hope it don’t turn a rod bearing!
    • When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.
    • Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
