What was your total cost installed?

Dealership's price was $1495.. but I guarantee that you could easily shave hundreds off that by going straight to upholstery shop. Luckily, we negotiated it into the deal, so I didn't pay a dime.

Just joined this forum. Haven’t farted around with an online forum since my 07 tundra lol. Long ago. Anyway, had my helper swap out the ugly bow tie for the black one and I just finished slapping on the GM splash guards.... thought I’d say hi while here  . Yes, truck is nasty. It’s been and currently is raining...

Just added Tyger Auto soft fold tonneau cover and their bull guard as well. The bull guard serves no purpose, just for aesthetics. spacer.pngspacer.pngspacer.png

Let us know if you can access the backside to route the wiring cleanly/properly without having to remove the grille.

It's no biggie to remove the grille and not hard.

So I took off the top cover and then the four bolts on the top of the grill,  but I can’t figure out what else is holding the grill on!  I know I saw someone else posted some good details, but can’t find it.   Any input appreciated.

Thanks. Just had to give more of a tug ! Comes off like your gonna break it. Easy once you get the grill off.

 

Note : remember to unplug the camera connector on the passenger side.  Another note, remember to re-attach the hood release handle before you shut the hood!

You could probably pull the grill forward enough, but it would be a pain in the butt.  It was easy once I figured out I just had to pop the grill out of its connections.  was almost going to wait for warmer weather (it was 20 outside) because I thought the plastic might snap.  It’s pretty strong though. start to finish was maybe 30 mins of actual work.    I could do it again in 20 now.

It has the GM TB lift and one additional inch in the front to decrease the rake.  I also have 35X11.50R20 Ridge grapplers.

Just to clarify, you did the GM 2 inch lift from the TB/AT4; then did a 1 inch front leveling kit? Looks great.

Whose 1 inch level did u use? Motofab?

Those Nitto RG’s spec out to 34.74” diameter and 11.42” wide. Any rubbing at all??

using a spacer?

thanks

Ran a USB type c cable to the arm rest. Fits my note 10 plus like a glove. Phone will not lay flat plugged in where the wireless charger is so this works much better and is neater.

Nice ! I put a wireless charger in my last center console, I found there was just enough room inside.   If phones get any bigger I’ll have to get a bigger truck!
 

wish they would release wireless CarPlay/android auto...looks like they did on some GM models.

    • 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.
