Nope, purchased my own, went to the dealership and had the gm paint shop do it. Perfect match.

 

I believe all said and done $145 out the door and on my truck.

Thanks.

 

I didn't think it was an option to have GM build the truck that way using an order from. Thanks for clearing that up, I thought I missed that while looking into ordering a new truck.

 

It would be nice if more trucks came colormatched from GM. I did notithe 2016's are available with that option. I am a huge fan of the colored front end and can't stand the chrome.

 

Looks good, it's only off a little from matching the OEM paint perfectly. Front bumper and the grille surround are a little yellowish against the factory paint in that picture.

I would definitely take it back to whatever body shop you used and have it redone, that would bug the heck out of me.

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.

It must be whatever it is you're viewing it on that's off, your eyeball, or perspective, or picture. It's also funny how you're editing as I am typing......

 

I have serious OCD and if it didn't match it would bother me to no end. The body shop I used is the GM body shop for this region. They use they exact paint according to the paint codes via GM. For this reason, they don't like to paint individual pieces because they have to mix large quantities. So when it's time for Onyx Black, that's when I get my parts in...lol...I have a few more parts going in soon.

 

BTW, to prove my point....my truck is a Denali....the bumper comes from the factory as Onyx Black....

Despite FedEx being absolute trash in my area the fenders arrive without damage. Plus it also helped the box they were shipped in was huge!

I think you may be a little confused as to what I was talking about in my post when I commented about paint.....I was commenting on the white GMC, not your black truck you posted after my post about the white one.

 

My eyes are fine, it's just the grille surround and bumper appear yellowish against the factory paint on the three different devices I viewed the posted picture on. Not trying to offend the owner, just pointing that out. It looks much better than it would if it were left chrome or flat black though.

 

Note to self : don't edit a post to correct spelling, or to add another sentence after rereading a members post after looking closely at the picture.......

 

The black truck YOU posted looks good, my black 2010 came with the painted front end when GM offered that "Appearance Package".

I would suggest getting 3M protection film applied if you can, it will save your bumper paint. I didn't have it done and it now looks like shit! After this winter I am having the bumper repainted and the 3M applied.

Tonight I did a couple things to improve command central!! I added the Driver assist handle and installed a pro clip phone mount with an additional dc outlet with a apple power cord which I ran behind the screen up to the mount. All cords are hidden out of sight besides the very end that plugs into the phone.

 

Very happy with how both mods turned out.

No offense taken, was confusing since you quoted my post.....and I am with you on getting the bumper painted again this spring....lots of gravel on the highways lately, and idiot drivers who can't seem to stay between the painted lines....I would do XPEL rather than 3m.....it's on the list for this coming year....have xpel on the hood and lights and it's pretty damn tough....

Reinstalled the passenger side rear seat after finishing the mount for my JL Audio Cleansweep and then tethered my under seat sub box in so that it doesn't move around and kill someone. Then I took my 7 1/2 year old son for a ride and taught him what an automotive stereo should sound like. His ears are still ringing.

I ordered the drivers handle. I have wanted one since I got the truck

Sent from my HTC M9

Yep its one of the first mods i did. Helps keep the leather from getting all dicked up from continuous sliding across the seat. It kills me that this isnt standard on all trims. I saw a new basic ram work truck that had one stock. Smh. Its just another one of thise things gm does to cut corners on production costs. Kind of like how the k2s dont have lights under the hoods anymore Edited by dbcooper

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
