I work with mostly women and they all think my truck is black.

 

I would like to see one of these black trucks set up like mine. My GMT-900 was black and I decided to go with the Iridium Metallic this time, all your trucks make me wish I went black!

Looks great. I have a chevy Tungsten same color. What did you use to match the rest of the truck and remove all of the chrome?

All the chrome on the grille I sanded down, primed and used bed liner on. Third truck i have done it to, holds up great. The mirror covers are paintable ones from GM that I had a buddy paint to match. The window trim and door handles are just the black ones from GM and the headlights I cut apart and painted all the chrome.

Looks awesome. I just had my wheels painted black and have been thinking about having the back bumper and front bumper and grill painted to match.

No way.......looks just gorgeous the way it is.....as a matter of fact, a nice set of 4" CHROME tubular step bars would really set it off. I don't know why you would want to de-chrome the truck. In my opinion tons more people will turn and say "wow", was that ever a nice looking truck. I know there are quite a few guys out there that for some strange reason prefer the "so-called clean look". IMHO the "clean look" should be called the "drab" look.

 

Your truck looks great, do you want to remove all the chrome and turn it into something where nobody gives it a second look.

 

Just my opinion

I love the black trucks with the chrome accents. Really sets it off. Wish my AT was black sometimes so I could have kept all the chrome on it, probably would have chosen chrome wheels too.

About midway of having my 98 Z71 (had it from '04 to '14) I wanted a blacked out truck. I finally got a black truck with my '14, but after seeing how good chrome looks with black I decided to keep some of the chrome. I even like the chrome badges. The only chrome I want to change on it now is the bumpers by getting them black chrome. That way they're black but it has the chrome look. Plus it won't be like everybody else's with painted bumpers. I haven't even looked into how much it would cost, but it probably won't happen anytime soon lol.

    • Hi, New here.  2026 Denali HD.  Just purchased 7/2/26. I am having the same issue.  I just traded in my 2024 AT4, and the truck connected to bluetooth and Android Auto Immediately!  Now, with the new HD, it connects when it wants to, which is usually not at all.  I have to use the usb-c cable to get it to connect.  Bluetooth won't even connect without the AA. Now after saying all that, I'll take a 20 min drive with the phone plugged in.  Stop at a store, restaurant, etc....  Get back in my truck and DO NOT plug the phone in.  The truck then decides at this point, lets connect BT & AA and work perfectly, ie how it should.   I have deleted (forget phone) the phone multiple times.  I guess I'll just get used to plugging it in every time. even though I don't think its good for the phone battery to have it on charge after it hits 100%. I have searched all over.  No one else seemed to be having this issue, until I read this thread today.   thanks for reading.
    • I have an issue with my ignition hanging and I have to tilt the steering wheel to get in the off position. I have used a great key lock spray and it doesn't help resolve the issue. Is this an ignition assembly issue or something else. If anyone has a past experience with this please advise.   Thanks  Heath
    • This is a terrible GM warranty experience, two months waiting for a covered engine swap with no loaner or timeline is not allowed under GM’s courtesy transport policy.Escalate straight past regular support to a GM executive case manager, document every closed service ticket and dealer repair paperwork. File a complaint with NHTSA to force faster action, and ask for daily rental reimbursement while your truck is down. If it’s been out of service over 30 days, your state lemon law may let you pursue a full vehicle buyback.
    • 198°F isn't unusually hot for an 8L90, so I don't think temperature alone caused the issue. Since everything returned to normal after the truck sat for several days, I'd be looking at an intermittent electronic or hydraulic control problem before assuming the transmission itself has failed. The first thing I'd do is scan the Transmission Control Module (TCM), not just the ECM. GM transmissions can store manufacturer-specific or history codes that won't trigger a check engine light. I'd check: TCM history and pending DTCs Commanded vs. actual gear Line pressure Shift solenoid status Torque converter clutch (TCC) slip Transmission fluid temperature If it happens again, try to capture the data before cycling the ignition, since some intermittent faults disappear after a restart. A professional scan tool that supports full GM transmission diagnostics makes this much easier. For example, the Foxwell NT809BT can access the TCM, read manufacturer-specific transmission codes, and display live transmission data that's not available on a basic OBD-II reader: https://www.foxwelldiag.com/products/foxwell-nt809bt Hopefully it's just an intermittent control issue, but I'd definitely pull the TCM data before replacing any parts.
