yes they do, the older RC UCAs were sealed, but the newer ones have a zerk.

I also have a midnight with the 3.5 RC and Im trying to decide on wheels and tires I would like mine more flush with the fenders any advice on size and offset. Mine has OEM mud guards also that I would like to keep. How or what made you decide on your wheel and tire package? Love the grill by the way thats a mod I thought of doing, did you do it yourself if so talk about the process.

truck is sick! question... for the ptm chrome grille inserts you did. did you paint over the oem chrome insert? Or did you buy a black ptm replacement inserts from the dealer? every paint shop I ask about painting any of the chrome on my truck all tell me the same thing, that you can paint it but it won't last very long and that you need a replacement ptm part for any of it. I have a white truck but want to paint just the chrome grille inserts a satin black.

Thank you! sorry for the late response. I have decided on a 35x12.5x20 on 20X9 Fuel throttle Wheel setup.

OEM

How did you install all the wiring for the leds? did you drill a hole on the dust cap for the headlights to fit all the wiring?

I think a 20x9 +0 will be petty flush, I have the flares so I did a -18 on a 20x10. I wanted the biggest lip I could get and be pretty flush with the flares.

Grill bars were removed, just screws in the back.

Chrome was scuffed, primed, base coated and cleared.

Chrome can be painted over just fine if done right.

Everything fit in the light itself no drilling. Theres a lot of room in there. Fit the ballast and Canbus box in there no problem.

I got mine to fit it's just kinda tight with the ballast and canbus. I had to fold the heat shields toward the led or forwards to be able to get the cap back on and also could not really spread them out that much at all as the instructions suggest. did you also do this? And thanks for the help!

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!
