Love my 2018 as well. I came from an 06 2500 HD LT Duramax. Lived that truck but it was just showing it's age what not.

The air dam don't bother me either. That is one of the reasons your gas mileage is so good.

The only thing I have done to mine so far is linex spray in bed liner and rust proofing from ziebart. I really want this truck to look good for years to come. My 06 I bout used and already had some flaws from previous owner.

My next mod will be a tanaue cover. Adventually want to level and add larger rims and tires.

Tons of Tonneau covers out there, be careful cause there are a lot of troublesome covers out there that can make you regret purchasing but you won’t notice till its to late. I’ve had a bunch of them and can honestly say that the best out there are the RollNLock and Retrax being that they both use metal locking mechanisms that roll inside a metal track system, lock while open, do not block rear window at all while opened, are not riveted into thin aluminum, panels of interlocking heavy grade aluminum. This is why be buy them in the first place so we don’t exit the road trip restaurant finding our cover was cut open or easily man handled, not these.

Here's a pic of my Silverado LT Z71 and a pic of my 04 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4

Was it a 4.7 liter?

Maybe it was you I messaged with 

I went from an 03 ram with the 4.7 liter to an 18 Lt CC standard box

The ride difference was beyond comparison as you said earlier.  

I'm at 13000 kms so I'm kind of out of the novelty phase but still happy with the truck.  I plan on doing a 5" bracket lift when warranty is up maybe and might sneak a 2" level in the mean time.  3" block also.  

No more leaf spring creaking after the inner tube fix lol

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
