Last week, while I was driving home, I saw a 14 or 15 Silverado 1500 with a chrome Bull Bar installed. It looked really clean, so it got me thinking it might be a practical protective accessory for the near future. For those that have them installed on their 14 or 15, please post 1 or 2 pics of the front of your truck. And please mention what brand/model it is.

In looking at some of the Bull Bars, I came across the one with the light. It looks like a nice set up. Where is the light switch in the cabin?

Anyone else have Bull Bar pics, especially in chrome?

Isn't that a Grill Guard, rather than a Bull Bar?

I built that truck as a show piece so I'm not sure on the gas mileage. I've been getting 25+mpg with the 4.3

Yeah, but it keeps the deer off.

Some people call them both a bull bar, so I posted. Sorry if I offended you.

Maybe you have an experience, but I've seen pics of trucks with brush guards that hit a deer and the brush guard didn't nothing to protect the front. It's why it's called a brush guard, it just helps keep brush from damaging the lights or grille while on trails. You might be able to do some light pushing with the vertical bars, but nothing major. If you want real front end protection you'll need an actual heavy duty bumper that has a brush guard as part of the bumper.

In my opinion, a bull bar does nothing for actual protection. To me it's just for looks and can be a place to mount lights. But, if I were to get one I would get the one that SkippyG4 has because it's bigger tube and also looks better than other bull bars.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
