First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

Installed my winter tires and wheels on Sunday (Toyo Observe G3-Ice tires); going to fabricate some sort of setup to hold the sandbags over the rear axle Friday (I move sandbags in and out of the bed before and after large storms).

Installed a QC 3.0 Port in the back to charge more devices for the kids.

Going to have to add another one as I have 3 kids and 17 million devices that all need to be charged back there.

My dad use to get old tractor tubes, cut them in half and fill them up with sand and then used hose clamps to clamp the ends shut.  This worked great for extra weight and the rubber tubes didn't collect any moisture and if you needed the sand you could just undo one of the clamps.  Plus they were easy to handle and as well as not move around much in the bed since the rubber helped keep them from sliding around.

That's a great idea!

About a week or so old but here to share nonetheless. Limo on sides and back with 35% on the entire windshield with a limo strip at the top. Rest of build should start soon, if I can stop second guessing myself that is.

Looks nice. I really like the rims with that color. I am really considering those when the time comes. But like you I can’t make my mind up on if I want to go aggressive or stick to more factory with just a level.

Dealership installed the Kicker Audio System  but cut corners and decided not to install the lights. (Many dealers do this apparently) I didn't really care for the system but if they put it in there and I have it... I wanted the lights. So I bought the multi-pro tailgate lights kit and popped the lights out of the frames and put them in the kicker system.

I’m right there with you. I have looked at every single truck I could find online with a similar setup. I have seen several trucks with a small lift and these same accessory wheels and truth be told it’s not the vision I was hoping for. Now with that said I’ve seen some with the other 22 accessory wheels and it looks great. I’ve also wrestled with lift or leveled decision due to warranty. The dealership I bought from says it’s a nonissue but they are not in my local area. The few I have visited here said it will absolutely be denied warranty work regardless of its suspension related or not. I finally got a service manager to admit that it basically is up to a manager to notify Chevy that anything has been altered and of they don’t say it has then warranty is no issue at all. I guess it’s everyone’s personal decision to risk it or not. 
 

funny side story I wasn’t supposed to have these wheels. I was supposed to have the rst 20’s but when I went to get the truck they had swapped them out with a lower package rim. I pointed this out and the gm said find some on the lot or we can order yours. A factory ordered truck had these in the very back, still had plastic inside and out. I half jokingly said I’ll take the black ones in the back. Without even going to look he said done and we will throw in a spray in liner for no charge since you had to choose different wheels. My sales guy was not happy when he couldn’t talk the gm out of it once he realized what he had done.

You lucked out on that hahaha. It’s tough for me as well because my father in law is the service manager for a Chevy dealership and that’s where we take our vehicles. He does everything the right way. Might just wait until the warranty runs out then start working on it. My truck doesn’t get much use (only 400 miles in two months). Good luck on your build and can’t wait to see some pictures!

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
