Just crossed over 90k on my '14. Replaced the battery yesterday too... it was ready and this cold weather was taking a toll on it.

Boy, that project sucks btw... especially in 7 degrees. My advice, give Sears the 30 bucks to do it.

Recently installed Husky liners front, center hump and full size rear liner. Also had tint installed, 20% Llumar all around.

 

I have RC front level in transit. Hoping to get toolbox, and tonneau cover come spring time.

cleaned it up to show my new scar...

 

 $3600 in damages - I was out in a storm towing people that were stuck and slipped getting into the truck, let the door go and watched it wrap around my fender. :shakehead:

tell me about it... 30" of snow and I spent most of my Saturday night towing people out. Fortunately, I made enough cash towing/plucking cars out of the snow to pay for the deductible.

finally found some LED fog lights that fit the housing well and look great, i have the pucto LED headlights from chuxtrucks here in town installed was worried the color was gonna be off and they match very well!

 

found the fog lights on amazon after reading reviews and seeing them on the trucks i figured why not price was right! glad i did! i also added the new DL3 mirrors they look great and a wonderful upgrade Pgamboa is the man!

 

Next on my list is to have line-x spray on flares done along with undercoat and rear wheel-well corrosion prevention done next week

Put my AMP steps on...and......

 

just like everyone elses, the front gap vs. rear gap is uneven AND all four lights quit working!

Not sure what you mean "just like everyone elses".  I installed mine over 2 years ago and didn't have any problems.

Did you leave all the bolts loose until everything was hung then adjust everything?  I did that (per the instructions) and my gap is perfect the entire way across both sides.

 

If all 4 lights quit working then it sounds like you may have knicked the wire that controls the lights or there is a problem with the control module.  Did you contact AMP Research?  Their Tech Support and Customer Service is great so they should be able to talk you through troubleshooting then get you replacement parts if needed (the steps come with a 5 year warranty).

Thanks for the reply.  Would you mind taking a pic of the lower bolts on your linkage brackets please?  I am in talks with Amp and I believe they sent me the wrong hardware.  I am waiting on an answer from their engineer.  This is what my lower bolt looks like....it is loose in an oversized sheetmetal hole and there is no washer under it.  Before I can get close to 16 ft-lbs, the sheet metal begins to bend and distort into the recess in the bottom of the linkage bracket.

 

They are sending me a new controller for the light problem.  The lights worked fine for 2 days and then all four just quit.  I know it isn't a wiring problem because they worked for two days and I didn't touch anything or even move the truck.

    • I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed
    • Did you ever find a resolution to this? my 2019 Silverado 1500 is showing the exact same headlights issues with the exact same symptoms.  would help a ton if anyone has any advice on this or better yet a known solution..
    • Wawa and Meijer here have ethanol free (88 & 89) I use for my mower and lawn equipment.  Its not much more than reg.  I paid $3.29 a few weeks ago.  
    • tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.
    • NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
