New wheels!

 

18" method grids in titanium. +18 offset.

 

Next steps are bigger tires and to get rid of some chrome. Maybe some nfab steps?

I think the ones I put on my truck would look great with your truck. I had the same chrome running boards too and got rid of them as soon as I saw these ones. See link in my signature. They are just a thicker black nerf bar than the Nfab ones. A little more expensive, but I was very happy with them. They held up well.

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.

Found an hour of free time yesterday and installed GM - Illuminated Door Sills. Love the way they look! Of course, made a how to video. The box didn't come with instructions and tried searching he

You having any problems with a leaky 3rd break light?

I bought my 14 and it was full of water and the bulbs were burned out. Replaced it under warranty. I noticed the replacement was getting wet inside. I just took it off, blew it out and put a line of clear silicone around the foam to seal

It up. No issues in over a year now.

There is an Upfitter provision to tie these Aux buttons to (4) unused relays. This is specific and only works if you have the same exact options on the switch.

Like posted above its the factory outfitter/upfitter switch. I got the idea from the above linked thread. GM# 23145158 was the part number for the switch I ordered which cost 74$Cad shipped. There are other switches you can order as well that have different configs if you have more options.(hill assist, adjustable pedals, ECT) but it gets a bit more complex with the more options you have.

 

I ran my own 4wire cable from the engine bay into the cab and purchased some standard automotive relays off amazon but when I went to install my switch I found that there was already wiring in place for my truck but all the relays and fuses were missing under the hood so I just used my own cable and relays instead of trying to get all the stock parts and just removed and insulated the the factory wires for the switch.

 

As for configuration I got a bit creative and have it wired up so

Aux1- Controls my Bull Bar 20" Led Bar

Aux2- Controls roof mounted LED bars (2x 12")

Aux3- Makes it so all the LED bars come on when the high beams are switched on using the factory stalk(and they can still be overridden on when aux1+2 with the low beams)

Aux4- I didnt realy have a plan for this so I made it power my dash cam since it doesn't have a parking mode and usually turns on/off with the truck, but this allows me to keep it recording while its parked.i also wired a battery monitor so it will shut off when the battery gets low enough but leaves me enough to start the truck.. Seems to last about 2days(with just the dash cam) before the protection kicks in which is about the point the memory card starts overwriting the older vid files so it worked out good.

 

Edit. Added Schematic Diagram & pic of the relays wired up for anyone interested.

I like how your Desktop got a cameo in the picture.. :D

 

Wasn't intentional, I do a lot of projects in my office and they usually end up just getting thrown on top of the printer to get a photo taken of(as its usually the only clear spot on the desk). It blends in to me, since I'm so use to seeing it everyday and forget how much it stands out until I post a picture or someone comes over and comments on it.

 

I can't figure out what this is...

 

Why does this not surprise me on a truck forum =p ? Its a liquid cooled PC in a tempered glass case(aka tower). I'm into electronics as much as I am automotives and chances are if it can be modified, I will. Heres a shot of the entire office.

And just so this post isn't completely off topic here are some pictures of the 2 light bars I installed that connect to the above posted relays. They weren't installed today but they are probably what most people are interested in seeing photos of. Running the wiring from the engine bay, under the cab, through the box, and up the sports bar was way harder and took longer than I anticipated. I'm still waiting for the front LED bull bar to be shipped.(and they wonder why no one wants to support local businesses anymore...)

I would be taking that component apart and making sure that everything was/is good. May want to even flush/clean it out, make sure all debris is removed. Any chunks amongst all those shavings?

Search on the subject much and you will find almost every transfercase drain plug looks like that the first time...mine did at 10k, still going strong at 120k. The plug will be almost clean after that initial drain.

No I don't. I made sure to put the third brake light nice and secure.

My OEM 3rd leaked. I've since replaced it with an aftermarket 3rd with a thicker gasket. No issue yet.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
