You guys like driving white trucks? It wouldn't be my first choice due to being mistaken for a work truck but the only new 2018s I can find with the max trailering package are white.

What's that old saying? It's all pink on the inside... Anyway, I doubt many people mistake mine for a work truck LOL, especially when they hear it. It hides dirt really well, stays significantly cooler in the summer, swirl marks are darn near impossible to see (if you have any) and pretty much any accessory goes well...red hooks, chrome hooks, black wheels, chrome wheels you get my drift...even purple goes with white :thumbs:

Exactly.. white is a perfect blank canvas for mods that doesn’t show the dirt and paint damage that black or other dark colors do.  If you’re leaving at bone stock I guess I could see somebody thinking it could possibly be a work truck. I guess most of the guys on here just eliminate that from being an option by creating their own version. But come to think of it my truck is technically a work truck so maybe he is on to something lol 

Here’s a video my buddy did after the original build. Some other mods have been made since and I didn’t choose the music nor understand half of what they are saying but it’s a white “work truck”

Right on...gorgeous truck, that passenger's leg looks pretty nice too :thumbs: I hadn't seen the chrome (or highly polished) drive shaft in your other pics or maybe just missed it. Very nice Sir, very nice.

The ol passenger leg shot gets them every time! Haha And thank you again my friend our drive shafts are aluminum so very easily polished.  And it’s a polished stainless exhaust system next to it which helps it just look even more shiny haha

Here is my 2015 Sierra 1500 SLT i just picked up a little over a week ago.

 

Already debadged the truck and will soon get the chrome to color match in summit or black. Custom summit white tow mirrors are in the works as well. I don't think I will ever get another color Sierra since this summit white looks beautiful.

White certainly would not be my first choice because of the work truck thing. Mine is an SLT with a good bit of chrome, so probably doesn’t look too much like one. Then again, I use it as one, so if the shoe fits...

 

It hides dirt and paint defects extremely well and looks really good with just a pressure washer.  I put a lot less effort into keeping it clean compared to my crystal red Camaro. It’s a good bit bigger so I’m thankful for that.

 

My next truck will not be white non the less.

Well mine is a work truck. White and all but when your shopping used, color and sub model are not always that easy to get exactly what you want. My wt does exactly what I bought it for...to pull my 10k travel trailer. With the 4:11 rear end it handles the trailer nicely and well within limits.

    • So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.
    • My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.
    • Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?
    • I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions. 
    • I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
