Hey guys besides the typical 4 Wheel Parts What other Off road aftermarket accessories places do you guys shop at? Trying to see what everyone has to offer. And who knows this might help new truck owners out. Thank you!

 

Also What do you have and where did you get it?

Not much for off-road shops left, everything is online now, I look for tons of pictures online before ordering anything online.

The problem is online shops beat out the local guys. This means they install parts for pennies and loose money and close up. If you find a honest shop pay them like they deserve. My local shop in Phoenix, got me a steal on my Fuel maverick wheels. So I was fine with paying them a little extra to install my level kit. They were honest and knowledgeable. If you live in Arizona contact Prestige Customs. c37b79a85df3de6d5261f293db30abbd.jpg42e5394f46b80114f657fda45e3a38a2.jpg

I have the GM fender mud flaps, side steps, bed step, and hard folding tonneau all dealer installed.

 

For me this is enough- looked at wheels and when I viewed them online on my truck really didntl like them. My truck has enough chrome that blacked out wheels look odd on it.

 

I did add a grille over the trans cooler more for protection, it had dings in the first 3000 miles. I also installed some Xenon bulbs in the headlights- improved but not quite HID.

 

I am saving the $ for my boats.....

I highly recommend the DMAX Store! I had an issue when a local shop was installing my gears. One of the bearings in the master install kit was the wrong size. It costed an additional $170 for the bearing. I needed the part so I bought it from the shop that was doing the work. I later called the DMAX Store and informed them of the issue. I let them know I was out $170. The DMAX Store asked for a photo of my receipt and refunded $170 to my CC within 3 days. They're also extremely helpful and have the best prices I've seen so far.

All GM for me. Flaps, tonneau, steps, whatever they offer (if I want a certain item) I go GM. Sure, some things you have to go with another supplier.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      on-wheel cellphone control: 2026 1500 WT (2.7L 4WD std cab)

      By newdude · Posted

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.

      2026 TurboMax L3B 2.7L: AFM/DFM present/disablable? [2026 Silverado 1500WT: 4WD RC RB 2.7L]3GCNKAEK9TG345558

      Yes.  The 2.7 Turbomax has Active Fuel Management.  It is NOT the same as the V8s.  Totally different system.     Here is an article from GM when the 2.7 came out explaining the cylinder deactivation and the valve lift system.  Starts at the section called "SCS Valvetrain":   New Turbocharged 2.7L 4-Cylinder Engine Powers Full-Size Trucks – TechLink         This is an internet myth going around.  It was alleged that some 5.3s had this mystical 8th digit of the VIN as an "E" which somehow meant it had a new one year only 5.3 that didn't have DFM.  The writer of said article and the person that made the claim conveniently can't count because they posted the VIN.  The 8th digit was a "D" which meant its still the 5.3 with DFM.  The 9th digit of the VIN was an "E" and the 9th digit isn't the engine code.  At all.
