I haven't noticed any camera issues but i haven't really paid close attention to it. It seems to work fine, no distortion observed. 

Did you change the grill yourself. If so how did you remove it

Are you leveled? Lifted? I've got a 2 inch level. Let me know how the truck rides with the Nitto's in that size. I am contemplating sizing up, but don't want to lose the comfortable ride.

I have a 2019 SLT crew 4wd with the gm 2 inch lift.  Same here.  Don’t want to mess up the ride.  Keep ya posted.

No, it was done by the shop that painted the fog light bezels.

This is my second T1...traded in a 2019 2WD custom in order to get a 2020 4WD custom with a 5.3 back in March. Dealer called....offered me a brand new truck with 4wd, V8 and to lower my monthly payment without increasing my financing commitment. No brainer.

 

Got a 2.25" ProComp level up front ($520 installed at 4wheelParts Marietta) which allowed for 35x12.50x20 tires on stock wheels. Yes they fit. No spacers. No rub. No trimming (although I'd already deleted the "rock/mud guards"). It is NOT a trail boss, so hoping this gives others the confidence to go for 35/12.5"s where possible.

 

Tires are Atturo Trail Blade X/Ts which have a lot of mixed reviews from the 2015-2016 days, but have really gotten a lot better in the last few years. They balanced with a few ounces, look aggressive and so far ride quiet as a church mouse. They are 34.9" tall and 12.52" wide. Only paid $820 out the door (Discount tire gives you $200 or so for your H/T takeoffs...one of the few places that still pay for them), so if they last me anything past 18 months I feel i'm in the black.

 

She's actually sitting .75" nose high (reverse rake) at the moment, so I've got a SDT 1" rear block that I'm installing next month.

 

I've also got a Ronin antenna, Rough Country rear light strip under the tailgate, OEM bed liner, OEM steps, Chevy soft roll up bed over and Clazzio Leather seat covers in baseball glove brown (installed myself for $800....highly recommend over Katzkin). I also painted the tow hooks with plasti-dip red. Not permanent, so might do the full upgrade to rough country red hooks if I can figure out how to get around that pesky driver's side bolt (don't want to have to take the whole front end apart).

 

There's also a thread on here about the $20 exhaust upgrade that isn't permanent. I did that too and it sounds perfect (not high schooler loud, but perfect grumble and lets everyone know it's a V8 without being obnoxious). It would take me 2 mins to return it to stock.

 

Next steps: 1" rear block, window tinting, de-badge the CUSTOM on back, rear wheel well liner, AMP Power steps, and maybe some chrome (handles and mirrors).

 

All-in, including taxes, I'm still under $34K total for a brand new truck (including mods) that sits, sounds and looks how I want. Pretty happy with that.

Looks good. What was the $20 exhaust upgrade?

I have little to no mechanical skills and did this myself in 20 mins. It really improves the sound and best part is that it’s not permanent. Don’t use tape. Just get some exhaust sheets from a car parts place, cut to size and use 3” clamps to cover the screens. I’ll try to post a video but the link has a lot of people showing you sound improvement.

Finally got around to de-badging the tailgate.
Used hair dryer and fishing line.

1. Before
2. Badges removed with goo present
3. Used goo gone and elbow grease.
I can still see a couple of places at an angle that I didn’t get off.

I just did the same thing with the goo gone. It got real messy and I didn’t think I’d see the light on the other side of the tunnel. But after going through a few micro fiber towels and half a bottle of goo gone it came out good

It’s a LoMax. It sits about 1/2” above the bedsides. I like it. I had a Bakflip on my 2015, and it’s comparable to that but it seals a little better.

I had the four TPMS sensors installed today on my travel trailer. Super easy to learn the sensors with the learning tool. I like being able to monitor tire pressure and temperature. Great GMC feature!

    • 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. 
    • 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.
