Looked all over the US before I ordered it. Couldn't find anything else with the same options and color.

That's hard to believe lol what options specifically?

I'm Jealous of all the blues...had an '03 vette in the blue...hated it in pictures, but the price was right. Loved it in person. I've always had white trucks, just what was available at the time and best price. Promised myself the new one would be anything but white. Ended up with blk/blk, almost got a blue/light gray, but I was worried I'd get the seats all grungy looking from daily use. Figured the black seats will hide that. Looking at all the blue ones here makes me wish I would have gotten the blue one. They look AMAZING in the sunlight!!!

Yea I'm with you on that. Curious to know what options myself or what's special about it.

Looks like a typical denali to me but maybe they had not produced any blue trucks at the time he searched and ordered. Just an idea.

I like that step, I like that it's closer to the body.

 

Where did you get them, how much?

That's why I liked them so much - plus I'm liking the Blacked out look - hence the new wheels! I got them on Ebay - negotiated to $325 with free shipping.

Can't wait to pick my stone blue metallic up Friday! First mods already scheduled are ceramic tint on all windows and Grafxwerks overlays for the front/rear.

What are some must have mods for these trucks?

Which one looks better? Which wheels?6b0da55c5735599a829fcf60226857a4.pngaabcf89866a072c2cf6b80b91f2b4958.jpg

With the other chrome you have on your truck, the chrome wheels are a better look. In my opinion, of course.

    • Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge. 
    • There are no stickers in your glovebox?
    • Look at the numbers on the stickers in the door jam...
    • Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.
    • After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
