Welcome to the site, nice looking truck! Should I even ask how you came up with your "site name"?

Did you get your tail gate handle and tow hooks on yet?

I got the tow hooks, testing the chrome handle with an Amazon stick on to see if I like it, so far yes. I’m gonna paint my black hooks red and see if that works for me...if so I’ll return the chrome ones...not gonna steal your idea ? and yes I can take off the outside chrome and see if I like that too but so far it’s working for me.

Steal away, ideas are for all to use (unless you are the NFL). Pretty sure our trucks look different enough and are far enough away from each other that no one would notice. Is the whole handle bezel chrome too, or is that an overlay?

Thank you sir! Went back and forth on what set up to go with and this forum helped greatly. ScummyBadger is an old college nickname that kinda stuck lol

It’s all over lay but fit and quality seems excellent.

It does go well with the white, and the GMC tail lights.

I finally got some warm weather and covered the bow tie and door pillars in black vinyl. One of these days I’d like to color match the front end.

    • Disclosure: BlueV8 is a Supporting Vendor and we sell AFM/DFM disablers. We wrote this because not every GM owner actually needs one. In some cases, regular maintenance, towing use, an existing tune, or simply using M5 makes another device unnecessary.   ⏱ The 10-second version 🚫 Skip it if… You keep the oil full and change it every ~5,000 miles. Your risk is already low. You're happy shifting into M5 every drive. That disables AFM for free. Your truck tows heavy most days. AFM barely runs under load. You already run a tune or delete kit. Done is done. It's already ticking or misfiring. You need a mechanic, not a plug-in. ✅ Worth it if… You bought it used and the oil history is a mystery. Checking the dipstick is… not your hobby. (No judgment.) You're a long-term keeper with lots of easy highway miles — exactly when AFM runs most. The V4 drone and shudder drive you nuts. You're under warranty, so a tune is off the table.   The full article includes the supporting GM bulletins and owner reports: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler?utm_source=gm-trucks&utm_medium=forum&utm_content=halfofyoudonotneed
    • It`s magnetic so it`s not main or rod bearings. I would pop off a valve cover or 2 and take a good look at the rocker arms. See if you can see if any needle bearings are coming apart.
    • Hey yall.   I have a 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3 2wd. I just did my own oil change (currently 132,000 miles) on the truck for the first time since I got it. It has always had routine maintenance done at the correct time. Never once had a check engine light, oil pressure light, or any light (except low fuel lol). Also never towed anything ever. It has been a daily driver for me.   I noticed the dipstick has metal shavings magnetized to the end of it. And even after wiping it and putting it back in like 12 times, it still pulls some out. The oil filter also has a good amount in it.  It has always ran perfect and still does. Never ever had a weird noise or knocking or ever ran rough. Almost too perfect lol. So this metal has really surprised me. I see some similar stories where people say this is normal wear, others say your engine is cooked. I know it’s hard to say for sure without seeing in person but just wanna see if anyone has had a similar experience at this mileage or any advice?   Thank you in advance.
    • Yes I did forget that part.     That said, the older ones would still get in the 170-190F range.  Not that far off from an early K2XX.  
    • Heat is what kills them, the redesigned cooling system and that full temperature thermostat on the side of the transmission doomed them from day 1.  The heat eventually causes the clutch material on the plate to flex which then breaks up and runs throughout the transmission.     The GMT900s when serviced regularly, often run into the 200K mile range or more.  One 6L90 in an HD3500, pulled into the shop on its own power for overhaul at 320K miles at Precision Transmission a few years ago.
