Leveling kit, gmc floor liners, tonneau cover, and tint lol. For the guys who added the driver assist handle, why ? Do you actually use it or mainly just to make it symmetrical? I don't wanna add another beige eye sore through the front windshield unless I'll use it

Installed it - first thing I notice it is in your peripheral vision - got used to that. But never grab the handle. LOL

I was "building" a 2018 sierra and was thinking the brake upgrade was a no brainer.....until I saw the almost $3k price. Is this option worth it? I will be towing ~7000 occasionally.

All my first mods were in the category of protection.

 

3M Clear Bra.(should have done the bumper too) Undercoating. Rustproofing. Line-X box liner. Had them spray the rear wells too instead of the plastic GM 'kit'. Seam sealer. Then Weather Tech no drill mud flaps and GM front box corner protectors. Large round Rhino Step bar does wonders for lower panel protection. They were on it when I bought it. So was a soft Lund roll up bed cover I love. Your still going to get a chip now and again in the weirdest ways so Chip Doctor kit is a must. Clay bar it and seal it silly with a quality paint sealer and keep it up.

The "Integrated Trailer Brake Control" should only be around $250. For that $3K are you sure you weren't getting the entire towing package (RPO code "NHT")?

Driver side grab handle.

 

 

+1 on this! My first accessory was new wheels and tires though. Probably one of the first things you notice on any vehicle.

I've had my 2017 1500 midnight for just over a month.

 

I did the xpel ultimate (immediately upon ownership), extang tonneau (arriving next week), husky x-act front/rear and husky cargo box (arrived yesterday but not installed yet).

 

Next is AVS vent visors and before winter, I'll need mud flaps.

    • are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.
    • Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
    • I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death. 
    • In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them. 
    • I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
