Looking to black out all of my chrome (except for the factory wheels) on my new to me 2013 Silverado. I've found several options but would like to hear from anyone that has done this and where to source the parts. I vinyl wrapped my previous trucks' chrome bumpers, but i've never replaced a grill or know where to get one. Any feedback would be appreciated!

Picture is from the dealer

www.goldenmotorsonline.com - great group of people and awesome selection of trucks! Highly recommend these guys if you're in the market for a customized truck.

- Oil Consumption

  1/2 qt over full ain`t gonna hurt $h!t. Most times, a whole qt won`t either. Most have windage trays now. As long as the crank isn`t slapping itself in the oil, it`s not the end of the world. We used to overfill 1 qt at the track, at race time. Better to have it over full than having the pan sucked dry at 6500 rpm`s.

  I think it failed, new fluid isn't going to fix it.

  The booster probably failed internally. (Applying the brakes is basically creating a vacuum leak.)

  No, just straight up poured too much in. Oil level is over the "full" mark on the dipstick. It sounds like if you do or did, you would drain it off with the valve. I use magnetic drain plugs, so draining off any to come down to the full mark would be more difficult. The 'range' of acceptable fill level keeps from having to be so exacting with the dipstick, filling, draining, etc.

  My take: I don't think seeing up to 200k on the odometer of any of these engines/trucks (2014-to present) is surprising. (Excluding the known DEFECTS, specifically, the 6.2 main/connecting rod bearing issues, the defective lifters, alternatively parts that a recall was issued for - I think there were three.) 250K is my line in the sand, anything over that is 'surprising', but not limited to the engine making it that far but including the truck surrounding it too. (We've talked about this in other posts, why I think the engine isn't the deciding factor for ultimate mileage.)
