Mad Max's 2014 Silverado LTZ Z71 CC 5.3L 6.5' Bed

[Mad Max]

This looks like a great place to keep track of how I fit out my new rig.

Picked it up 3/10/14 at Diamond Chevrolet in Auburn Mass and this is how it looked:

Very nice

 

This is definitely the right place to post your build

So far this is what was added from factory:

Step sides - Chevy - dealer at delivery

Bed Rug - Chevy - dealer at delivery

Chevy Bow Tie black mud flaps - dealer at delivery

Chevy Semi Hard Tri-folding Tonneau Cover - dealer at delivery

Bed Step - driver's side - GM/AMP

Front window tint 35%

Installed 4 metal valve stem caps with stem core removers built in

Also picked up 4 adjustable valve stem automatic tire deflaters and an air pump

A dozen 25amp fuses for the 110vac outlet that will certainly get popped again by someone (BTW it's the passenger side fuse #37)

Remote tailgate lock/unlock kit - PopAndLock

[Mad Max]

Still may want to do/wish list:

Cold Air Intake

Add front cameras and/or iphone mirroring to MyLink screen using AAMP/INTREPHEX parts kit

BlackBear Tuning

Micky Thompsons and maybe a small lift

Slip in trailor with air bag suspension supplement

CB/HAM

Honeycomb Grill

Retrofit existing lights with LED where good results

If anyone can decipher my VIN here for my original build it would be appreciated: 3GCUKSEC3EG356228

Added 4 more removable cargo tie down eyes inside the bed. Strange that there are 9 holes, it comes with 4 tie eyes leaving 5 empty, and they are only sold in qty of 4! So one will be left unused in the middle up front. Kinda like buying 6 hot dogs in a pack and 8 rolls in a pack. :-(

Let's see some pics.

And you need a whipple SC!

[Mad Max]

SC vs TC. Hmmmm? Always love the look and sound and relative simplicity of the SC but it appears that the TC/Nitro may be a better way to go now. Not very practical for my 30MPH max beach town. Then again I've never been all about practical anyway. ;-)

If you pop a 25amp fuse on any common 110VAC item theres something wrong. A 25 amp fuse on a 110VAC circuit is good for 2500 watts and a house hold dish washer runs at around 1200 - 1300 watts thus only requiring 12-13 amps to operate.

[Ohanacreek]

It's not a 110v circuit it's a 12v circuit that powers a device that creates 110v (a 110v inverter that has a VERY limited capacity, mine won't power a laptop)

 

12v @25 amps is 300watts.

I read the circuit is only rated for 150 watts. Someone blew a fuse with a small vac. They are hard to find and cheep so I got a few spares online.

[Mad Max]

Went to the dealer and picked up:

 

black touch up paint for parking lot dings

Chevy windshield/dashboard sunscreen

 

They ran my VIN for me and the build date is 17 Jan 2014

 

Under rear seat storage tub - included at time of purchase

anyone know if Rigid Industries is coming out with a grill for the 2014. Cant seem to get a call back. I am looking to put more lights on my truck and might have to go the push bar route. In that case anyone have a suggestion for a good push bar?

[Mad Max]

I was just looking at one on block8head 's truck pictures. Looks like he added some nice lights down between it and up behind the grill too
