Hey everyone,

 

Thought I’d start a build thread for my 2015 Silverado 1500 LT Crew Cab Standard Box (5.3 L) 4x4. Been my dream vehicle since I was a kid and finally owning one is a great feeling! I've quickly learned that these mods can get out of control though, but I’m sure you all know that!

 

Here are the following modifications I have done on my truck so far:

 

· 2" Zone leveling kit

· Upgraded from 18" to 20" wheels (Matte black Rockstar 2 XD 811)

· Goodyear Duratrac 275/60R20 tires

· BakFlip G2 tonneau cover

· Smittybilt Receiver Hitch D-Ring

· Rigid Industries SR-M2 fog lights (x 4)

· Rigid Industries D-Series lights behind the grill (x 4)

· Enthuze LED headlights (high and low beams)

· Swapped out license plate lights, cargo lights, and third-brake lights with Philips LED bulbs

· AFE Magnum Force Stage-2 Pro 5R cold air intake system

· Borla S-type cat-back exhaust (side exit)

· Added GM 3" black powder coated nerf bars (GM part #23194635)

· Gatorback oversized custom fit mud flaps

· De-badged all wording from doors and tailgate, including “4x4” decals

· Plastidipped front and rear bowties matte black

· Hood and tail gate vinyl wrapped with matte black rally stripes with pin-stripe outline

· Installed driver side assist handle

· Weathertech precise fit floor mats (front and back)

· Blackvue 1080P DR650GW-1CH dash camera

 

Here is my truck on day 1 when I picked it up; fully stock:

Nice truck dude, what offset are the rims, I'm currently trading a 2014 Sierra for a 2017 Silverado and swapping the factory 18" wheels for some KMC XD829 Hoss 2 wheels and went with 0mm offset as others have noted the stock are like 24mm offset, so only bringing them out like 24mm should be perfect, also how are you liking the Weathertechs, I'm doing full front and back as well.

Thanks man. The rims are whatever the factory offset is or pretty darn close (don't recall off the top of my head).

NP, I was just worried of tires stickin way out haha, but a few here have assured me I should be good at 0mm, I do like those running boards much better than the 6" oval chrome ones that are on the truck now, but I'm sure the wife and kid will like the big step but as much as i know it will be functional it's kind of ugly haha

Honestly, the steps on my new black nerf bars are basically the same size as my old chrome runs. I never stepped on the chrome parts before, only on the black pads. These ones are perfect and look much better IMO.

      (Update lift problem)Dealer installed 2” lift question
      By Tattoo magic
      I have a 2022 Silverado 1500 four-wheel-drive. The dealer ordered the 2 inch lift kit they offer and I’m waiting for it to come in and have it installed. But I noticed that the kit doesn’t come with upper control arms. Is that going to be a problem?
       
      (***UPDATE*** )
       
      so I had the factory lift gm offers installed. When I picked it up, it looked great but as soon as I went to drive it off the lot. I could tell something was wrong it felt completely different. I figured it was just a break in period. But even after a day or two, I was getting crazy bad vibration at low speeds. Took it back. They ended up putting one of the U-bolts on wrong (I have pictures if wanted) they fix that and told me the vibration was gone. I get my keys go to drive away vibrations right back. I turn right back around. this time they have a mechanic ride with me. He clearly hears  an feels a vibration, says somethings wrong so we turned around and he takes it back in. Three hours later they bring my truck back they had to remove the back blocks said there was no taper to them and it was messing up drive line. I got it back and the vibration is still there. (Now annoyed that only the front is lifted and still vibrating). I have them take the whole lift kit off. Put it back to stock. (Now remind you my truck has been down and I’m missing work for 5 days at this point) And after that Whole ordeal, I was done with the truck since I couldn’t have it how I wanted it and decided to trade it in and they made me a good deal on a 2023 5.3 LT.z71
       
      I know many have gotten this lift installed said it worked out for some reason it did not for me. I’m much happier with the new truck.

      Driver's seat leaning to the left?
      By Jgardow92
      I have a 2022 trail boss lt that has about 6100 mile on it now. Bought it brand new in may 2022 and it seems like the drivers seat leans to the left towards the door. Almost feels like Im gonna fall out of it and no matter how I adjust it it seems the same. Visually it looks like it sits level and is fine. Is it possible something is broken inside like the frame? I would assume the frame would have to be sturdy. Is there any place that sell a better bottom cushion?

      2020 Silverado sway bar hitting CV axle
      By MisterEhEDC
      Hello all, My Sway bar was hitting my CV axle, as the title says. So I crawled under some trucks at the dealer to see what stock trucks are like and it turns out that the new TB/AT4's have longer end links then my 2020 TB. The new end link has a 3 inch rod vs the 1-3/4 inch OE part.
       
      The part number for the longer end link is P/N:85590925

      Need help diagnosing noises coming from my 2020 Silverado 1500 5.3L
      By Sir_Griglesworth
      Hello everyone. I've recently purchased a 2020 Silverado 1500 from a dealership. I found out late in the sale that the truck was used as the dealerships "loaner" which didn't really bother me even though I know people beat up those vehicles. Anyway, I'm pretty in-tune to vehicle sounds and I had a couple of questions regarding noises I'm hearing from my vehicle. 
       
      The first is a clunking noise and a physical jolt when I shift from Drive to Reverse. I have my foot on the brake and am on a flat surface. I notice it a lot after I've been driving for a while and go to back into my garage. I took the truck back to the dealership and they chalked it up to bad U-joints. They slapped 2 fresh sets on, but I've still go the issue. Any ideas what it may be? I don't feel like anything is going to fail, but I also don't like the sound and don't think it should be that way. I have another service appointment next week and I'd like to help them out with ideas considering they don't really seem to care.
       
      The second is a ticking noise coming from the undercarriage. I' got under the truck today and believe it's coming from the rear portion of the engine, but I'm not for certain as I've never been beneath the truck while it's been on a rack. The noise cannot be heard when standing at the front with the hood up, but I can hear it very noticeably when standing at the driver's door. I do not hear it as the engine is heating up, but that could be because every other component under the hood is loud as h*ll while the truck is heating up. Once the engine is approaching operating temp, it's very noticeable. As you can hear from the short video, it's every .5 to 1 second or so and is always present during idling. Again, may not be a big issue, but I hate hearing things on my vehicles that I can't attribute to something else.
       
      Thanks for reading my ramblings. I can try to post longer videos if anyone needs. Thanks in advance!

      By hamz
      I recently bought a Sierra 1500 Denali because I love this truck but I am now noticing parts are really hard to find, I want to replace or delete my quad steer but have no idea where to start or look. I haven't been able to find anything in hours. Any help?
