Chuck,

Are you getting compliments out and about?

Looks, stares, thumbs ups? :thumbs:

I do, people stare everywhere I go. I caught a guy taking pics the other day in Walmart parking lot. I think the best part is there still are none like it in the area.

Has to be a good feeling. Especially since there are not many out there just yet.

I recall when I had a 2004 Silverado 4x4 with the QuadraSteer Rear Steering.

Talk about garnering the eye of the public! 

Everywhere I went people would tell me my truck was broke, that my rear wheels were "Catawampus" 

Especially with older people. I use to love cruising and circling gas station pumps with the wheels at full turn just to see the surprised look on faces :D

My 2017 has the infamous shake.  This is my 3rd Silverado in 7 years.  Tired of the vibration as well as the tranny shifting hard and inconsistent along with the studdering/stalling feel when in D and at a stop.  Trading in tomorrow for a Trail Boss.  I test drove one a month ago and that's all it took.  The TB is smooth as silk shifting and turning radius is incredible.  Love the styling of the 2019's

Good to hear the shake seems to be eliminated with the 2019s!! My '16 Silverado LT shakes, little to no dealer cooperation about it.  I plan to keep it another year or so, then will decide if I stay with GM or not.  Took it in the ass with the vibe issue with my '16 after 40 or so years of buying GM trucks. No loyalty from GM = no loyalty to GM.  Fk'm.

No shake whatsoever on my TB. Drive home was 5 hours on the interstate between 70-85 mph. I’m approaching 1k miles and my mpg seems to be getting better. I was getting 16mpg and now I’m between 18-19mpg - probably won’t last long ha. This truck drives way better than my 17 F-150.

I too have a Trail Boss,  2000 miles and no shake unless there is mud on inside of rims. was going to get an 18 a year ago and dealer talked me out of it. Glad he did. Other than a little tail gate rattle in rough terrain am completely happy with it, dogs seem to like it also:P  Am getting about 18 mpg out of it on hiway.

I have 800 miles and several highway runs to 85 mph with no signs of the vibration my 2015 had. 

My 2015 was slight but at 75 it was definitely there. The new one is a smooth riding truck

I have a 2015 2500HD duramax and had the "shake". In October I had all 4 of my wheels warranty replaced for corrosion. They put the old stock tires that came on the truck back on with a road force balance and the shake was gone. I couldn't believe it. I took it off road and beat on the suspension and then took it out on the interstate and still no shake. So it must have been the wheels for me. I have the 20" polished 5 spoke wheels. They put the same type back on. Should be getting my 2019 1500 here pretty soon.

Picked up my 2019 on Friday Dec 20th and promptly took a road trip to Atlanta for Christmas. AVG MPG was 19.3 each way. AVG Speed was 70, no shakes.

My Sierra was shaking and bouncing like crazy yesterday. Then I realized both right side wheels were packed with snow. But before that, my Sierra has been smooth. Not impressed with the 22 inch Bridgestone Dueler Alenzas though. They performed marginally in the 15 inch snowfall. I did not expect much from the highway tire.

Tire rack reviews have rated those tires horrible in the snow, I've got mine listed on ebay and CL right now as I took them off with 300 miles on the truck

I put on a set of Nitto Terra Grapplers, I’ve run these tires on many of my trucks over the years and have always gotten at least 60k+ miles out of them and then was still able to sell them on CL. Great in rain and snow and my limited mud experience they were great as well.

What size did you go with? They look like your stock 22 inch wheels.

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
