Exterior Graphics

I was originally going to do something simple, like a black pinstrip on my red Silverado.

 

Anyway, my wife says I should do something a little more "unique" and or "wild". She mentioned something like how the Ford Raptor has.

 

Have you seen any kind of interesting, not TOO crazy graphics? I've seen the sort of upside down hockey stick. I dunno what to do now, HA.

Yeah, I understand that, just thought I'd reach out and see what others have done or saw. Just trying to get ideas. I dont know what I want to do right now. Thanks..!

There is a dealer in town that pin stripes every car they sell it seems like. You can always spot the vehicles from them. As stated above it's personal preference as to what you want. I'm not a fan of pinstripes as they tend to peel to easy and look bad over time.

Pinstripes and graphics are from the late 80's. Please do yourself a favor and don't put them on your 2014 truck lol

Find a local shop the does vinyl wraps. They do alot of boats in my area. Talk to them they will have ideas and make you anything.

Here is what I did to my 2007 with my vinyl cutter. As you see in my Avatar I am working on something similar for my 2014 and recreated the 4x4 logo on the bed to match the color of my lower door graphics. Waiting until warmer weather before I tackle the bed stripes to match. I usually change it up every year or so as I get bored way too easily.

If I add a pinstripe, they will be painted on, no tape.

Wow that is ugly

To be honest I don't really understand what it is suppose to be. I could see if you did the lower third of the truck all the way around but a black box?

    • New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended? 
    • So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.  
    • Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.
    • That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
