"Weird mauve-brown color"?

Manure brown, maybe? I call my truck something like "the shitty truck" but in Spanish because of the color haha.

 

I wish I had bought mine on this deep blue ocean, it's really beautiful! But it was a "take this one now with a huge discount or wait for the 2016's to arrive with no discount", so I went for it[emoji1]

It looks better with 20 bags of mulch in the back. (I figure that's about 1000 lbs.) It levels out nicely.

 

The weird thing is with tow/haul mode on and 20 bags of mulch in the back, I got 25 mpg on the way home. Just seems to hold V4 much longer.

Here is my 2016 LTZ Z71. All I've added so far is weathertech floor liners BAK revolver x2 and AMP research power steps. Love the headlights on the truck. Nice and bright.

I had a 2015 Sierra in the blue and loved the color but it had the shakes. So I traded it for a 2016 in black, I really like the black, but my wife misses the blue.post-152580-0-67581700-1456109756_thumb.jpegpost-152580-0-46796000-1456110216_thumb.jpeg

I've seen a few 16's in person just like this. Definitely my favorite color in this body style.

Was your truck already equipped with leather? I've been looking at the website and would like to swap mine out because of the available colors and stitching they make. My truck has the ventilated seats. Any idea if that'd be a problem?

Nice looking truck! Where did you get the grille? Is that a piece you attached to your original or is it anew grille? I have a very similar truck except mine Is Victory Red. I loved the blue Silverado's and was going to be my first choice but got a way better deal on mine.

Did you buy yours directly from Katzkin or eBay? I wanted custom color stitching ones but the Katzkin website doesn't show prices. How much was yours?

Beautiful truck - of course I'm partial to blue too :) And the AMP powersteps cannot be beaten The truck just looks so much cleaner without those big bulky steps on the sides - and more importantly - they actually work!

I also think the truck looks taller without side steps on it.

I had cloth. Shouldn't be an issue though for you.

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      By BDS my HD · Posted

      Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.

      2013 2500HD 6.0L intermittent no crank no start

      By linc45bn · Posted

      I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

      GMC 1500 Illuminated Front Grill Emblem REPLACEMENT.

      By Peoplemvr · Posted

      Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
