I wanna play!! Here's mine. Just color matched my headlights the other day. Plasti-dipped the roof and b-pillars for contrast, I like the b pillars but am not sold on the roof yet. Here's a list of everything I have done to it

2014 silverado z71 LTZ

2.5" leveling kit

Black 20s

Color matched mud flaps

20% tint, 50% on the windshield

WeatherTech mats

Underseat storage

Debadged

Clear bra

Here's when I picked it up from the dealership.... Looks a lot different now IMO!

 

Looks great! Really liking the black side pillars. Looks much cleaner. And I agree with you on not being totally sold on the roof. I would suggest trying another piece on the hood. Such as the two elevated parts only or paint the depression in the middle of the hood to match the roof. I think that may make it look better if you plan to keep the roof painted. Good luck with your build!

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.

I'd love to get a review on those tires as far a gas mileage and noise since I'm considering the same ones.

That's such a a clean looking truck. How much lift is on that with the 33s!?

Thanks! The RC level lifted the front 2.5" and the rear 1". With the tires, the truck sits about 3" higher than factory.

You guys might think I'm crazy but I plasti dipped the chrome on the front today. I felt crazy spraying a brand new 40k+ truck but I think it turned out good. Going to do the back bumper later and then I have to find the right paint for the Chevy logo and calipers but it will be different thats for sure.

 

What do you think so far though?

I'm thinking about doing the same thing. I hate my chrome bumpers. My front bumper is rusting real bad so i'm going to see if the dealer will replace with a color matched one.

For a 40K truck with some $4 plastidip (exaggeration of course), that looks damn good as it is. I wouldn't color the bow tie in the grille. Id leave that. It stands out now and looks great IMO.

Well thank you!! I actually want to do the bow tie in black with Sea Foam green around the edge. I'm just trying to find a high temperature paint for the calipers that I like. I still can't believe how much it changes the look of the truck.

No problem. Looks damn good and deserves to be said! If I had a K2 Chevy id probably copy you and paint the grille like yours haha. And nice choice for the bow tie. Can't wait to see how it turns out. And good luck with the caliper paint

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
