Thanks! Yeah, I thought about it too. I can ask him if he's interested in making a couple more and see what he would charge.

Vinyl wrapped the "wooden" trim pieces in the SLT. Didn't wanna spend the money on the Synthesis trim so made my own and I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out! abf664f855e825923ca988688dc1326e.jpgf6f78dac025e2b826f598bed236bb1b7.jpgde667d9fa955c66c917072ddc55f5e0a.jpg

I got the Gunmetal Brushed Gray. It has slight texture and goes really well with the black interior. I didn't like the carbon fiber pattern I normally see inside some cars

Installed my Hellwig rear sway bar. Definitely improves handling! Install wasn't too difficult. 7de79e04bb9c0634512770af1475daa0.jpg

I'm debating on the front sway bar still, may try to change the factory end links first to see if I can improve the factory set up with poly end link bushings.

 

Rear is definitely worth it, IMO. hellwig is a well known, made in USA brand so that's why I opted for them. Not sure who else makes sway bars for our trucks. Summit Racing had the best price, FYI.

 

I did have to deviate from their install instructions slightly on my 2017 which required removing rear brake line axle clamps and bending the hard line out of the way. Not a huge deal.

I went to #3 right from the beginning. #2 would be a better fit with the stock front sway bar.

if i get them one at a time I'm assuming its better to get the rear one first ? I'm gonna try to get them both at the same time but if not get the rear first ? if its not to much of a pain in the ass to change the setting is it better to start at the #3 setting for both or start at #1 to see witch i prefer ?

Serious detailing. Clay bar and a good coat of wax, some back to black and poof! Good as new.

Yes that's a marker light. I added one under each tail. It's a red 10mm led bolt light

    • I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.
    • Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.  
    • The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.  
    • Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
