Long time lurker , first time poster. Like the title says, I'm wanting to get rid of the chrome trim. post-125585-0-76575000-1385080137_thumb.jpganybody have a part number for the piece under both windows? Don't know if it would be better to swap out the chrome bits: mirrors, handles, & window trim for oem pieces or just have them painted? Any help would be appreciated.

If you look on you tube there are examples of how to tape it off. Looks like that is the way to go. You won't have to worry about any removal damage. You only need to really worry about the window

If I looked these up right I believe this is what you are looking for. They are the black moldings without the appearance package. looks like the fronts retail for about 45 bucks and the rears about 50

Cool truck. I am also going to eliminate all chrome on my truck. I originally was going to order all black replacement parts or paint the existing. Now I am leaning towards PlastiDipping the chrome parts. It seems pretty good for this application and you can always just peel it off and go back to chrome. Go to you tube and type in plastdip. I am even doing my AT wheels just out of curiosity. If you are like me that should costs you about 5 hours of your life. :)

 

My truck is still not delivered but I have a shop lined up to plastidip straight away.

 

Let me know what you decide to do and please post pictures.

I see. Plasti dip seems pretty popular. Wonder about the durability with an automatic car wash? Anybody know how to remove the mirror caps and door handles?

Apparently after this stuff has cured in the sun for a few days it will withstand a decent amount of abrasion. On youTube I saw a few videos where guys plastidipped their entire vehicles went off roading and pressure washed the whole thing. It actually held up. It is nota major effort to have it redone or touched up either.

I am interested in a DIY plastidip on my window trim. Does anyone know how to R&R the trim?

Are the chrome Sierra window trim and the black Silverado window trim interchangeable with one another? Exact mounting wholes, hardware, etc? I know a few people on her are going for the blacked out look, but I have a Silverado Double Cab and want do the opposite. I want the chrome moldings on mine.

I'm pretty sure they are a direct swap. I have the sierra chrome trims and would be willing to switch with some one. We could overnight ship them to eachother* so we're not driving around with them off for a long period of time. Pm me if interested.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.
