Sigh... I have tungsten but my original pick was a 2015 Silverado brownstone with cocoa dune loaded double cab 6.2 powered Z71. The truck ended up being demolished by baseball sized hail.... Here we are 8 months later and the dealer still has it... had paintless dent removal done on what could be and then a new hood and windshield. Roof is still beat up... but I still want that truck lol... I can get body and paint for cheap. They have it about 15000 off but need to do better... my truck I have now was more than that off and it was damage free bought in October of 2015 lol. I have a Tundra I don't like at all and would love to dump and pick that truck up... if I can get it for mid 30s or out the door so how it sits ( 58505 is the original sticker) I just might bite.

looks great man, the window trim has been bothering me, I thought I could deal with the bumpers but now after seeing yours I might have to do them too.

Very nice. Best colour IMHO. One of the reasons I kept my 15 is because the 16 don't offer it. I often have to correct folks when they call my truck brown. Will post a pic once I give it a bath.

Thanks. I plastic dip all of the chrome. The prep work took the longest time. If you need any pointers, let me know.

I agree with you. Each year has different color selections. Did you do anything to your truck as of yet?

After seeing this thread I'm torn between vinyl wrapping the bumpers black or getting them painted same as the body color. Need ya'll 2 cents!

 

I've been quoted $350 for both front and rear bumpers black wrapped. Painted same as the body color for $500 both bumpers. The main issue is painting I will not have the truck for 3 days versus a few hours wrapping. I need my truck for work and picking up my little one at daycare everyday.

 

Your rational will be appreciated brother! :D

    • HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.      
    • I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it. 
    • So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29. 
    • Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.      
    • I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
