Finally washed mine today. Weather has been crazy and getting an additional pollen season. Was covered in pollen before I could even get it dry. Wasn't really feeling up to washing it since I got in a little fender bender a couple weeks ago, but wanted to see how bad the damage really was. 2 lanes turning left and the girl in the lane to the left of me decided to go straight instead of left, she was in the left turn only lane. T-boned my left rear, then lied to the officer and said I turned down into her. Now it's a he said, she said and we both get dinged on our insurance...d84c0ff0cbdeea4a8c2a8a3ffae4f9de.jpg45dc86ad4a8cbf111c3b142dc72cb442.jpg

I don’t understand how people can suck at driving then lie about it.

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

Well I finally took the dive and did some paint correcting from the dealer installed swirl marks. Clayed, two stage polish, sealed and waxed. Keeping a new truck clean is a second job; keeping a black

Rush hour traffic in Atlanta getting on the freeway, any witness was gone 5 seconds later. Damage is on the front of her car and the side of mine, she says I turned into her. Physically no way that can happen, can only hope the adjuster can prove it. Trying to get traffic cam footage or statement from fire rescue unit as to the location of the vehicles before they had us move out of traffic, but officer hasn't called me back. Adjuster said all that has to go through the officer, so I doubt it'll get anywhere.

Here’s the latest pics of my 2017 Silverado.  Here is a list of the aftermarket mods I put on:

-K&N CAI, Diablo Predator 2, Dual Magna-flo exhaust, 4” Ready Lift lift kit, OR pocket flare fender, tow mirrors, 20 x 12 Helo wheels with 33’s.

Thinking of maybe putting mud flaps to protect the paint. Any idea? I am limited in room due to some rubbing if I put anything in the well.

I just put on Weathertech mud flaps a month ago, i really like them, and very simply to install...I even used a little clear 3m vinyl around the edges to protect the paint...the biggest pain was working around the rear tire...that took more time than that actual install...I don't have clearance issues like you might, but they don't take up too much room...might be able to work?  I would say that for you, I would recommend removing your rear tires for install (regardless which ones you go with).

 

I only go off roading pretty much when i go hunting, so limited...but if my truck was used for heavier off roading (or larger tires like you) I would probably opt for these...they were recommended to me on this site, I just don't off road enough to justify, but they look SOLID!

So I already have Chevy’s splash guards installed on my truck. I think those fender flares are nice but I would say they won’t fit on mine due to the splash guards and how they’re shaped/Installed. dc4c41a1c065fc2fb4d9faf9e5608a7c.jpg

I figured as much. I’m sure there could be some engineering to installed the flares then the splash guards but not looking to do that..... at least not right now.

I can't tell 100% by the pic...but if you have the painted factory mud guards...I bet you could sell them here and get the more aggressive flaps if that is something you would want...again, not knowing how much you off road, it might not be worth it...as much as i do, the weathertechs have made a huge improvement for me...and i would imagine the factory ones are comparable coverage as the weathertechs...

      OCI, not when but why?

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
