Looks great! What size lift and tires? Also trail boss or just z71?

Thanks! It's the ReadyLIFT 4" SST lift with 35.12 x 11.77 Grapplers (295/65R20.  It's the RST model. I didn't want the Trail Boss because I knew I'd be doing this. :)  I actually started a thread since I haven't seen much on the ReadyLIFT SST lifts.

It still has the factory ride.  It's only very slightly firmer but that's because of the much heavier load rated E tires. The only real hit is my hwy mileage at 82 mph went from about 17 mpg to 13.5 mpg.  On 55 mph roads where I do 62 mph I'm still getting 18 mpg.

Had the new wheels and tires installed. Thinking about a leveling kit next. 

 

Wheels are 18x9 Ultra Armageddon +18 offset, wrapped in LT265/70/18 General Grabber X3's. Pretty happy with the look.

Lol.......no.  She usually only drives it when I'm out on a ship for four months at a time.  When I'm home I pretty much do all the driving.

My running boards were originally chrome, I took them off and painted black using bed liner coating, took about 2 cans to do both but they turned out great. Also gave the old truck a bath

I am not much into mods that stray far from the factory look, but got a new emblem in recently and got it on the truck. Matches perfectly.

Well, I did the license plate lights last week and this time it was a quick LED reverse light install. The basic (non-ZEVO) Sylvania 921 LED bulbs were exactly what I was after. Basically stock brightness (to not wash out the back-up camera or blind anyone) but with a cool white light instead of the ugly yellow.

I was dragging my feet on this project, but I found the retainer clips holding these taillights much easier to work with than on my 2016, so that was a pleasant surprise. Nothing broke and it maybe took 5 minutes to do both!

Got my 5" Ionic Curved Nerf Bars on yesterday.

Man, the wife and daughter love them. The 19 sits much higher than the 07. Both have 18's

I think they look great too.

LASFIT 7440 LEDs for the front turn signals. Much brighter and have a better color. Took about 2 minutes total, very easy to reach thankfully. So now I have completely eradicated incandescent bulbs from every vehicle I own... 54E627D8-6C89-4BD6-BA08-A2E569FBE162.thumb.jpeg.eddcb91d9190355680db8f1f28c8d4fc.jpeg

Does changing bulbs out like this cause any error messages to pop up or throw a code, etc.?

    • same here , i have a 2020 first gen and the cost to repair these engines far excedes replacement
    • But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate. 
    • I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here. 
    • My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
    • Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.
