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

Added the Rough Country power steps- like them so far and they swing out like the factory ones, just need to make some adjustments to tuck them closer to the body

Plastidipped the AT4 badges but may end up taking them off to give the whole truck a smooth look

Vinyl wrapped the fender badge to darken it up, vinyl wrapped the fog light (no affect on light output) and vinyl wrapped the side mirror light (no affect on output)

Some jerkoff hit me in a parking lot when i was in the store, so had my rear bumper realigned, scratches buffed out, and then painted the tips flat black- driver side still has small dent but not as visible as it when when chrome- will eventually get full new exhaust

Deleted muffler and added straight pipe, kept the flappers intact

Installed JL W3 10" with Phoenix Gold 1000W amp, kicks like an absolute mule in the subthump box. Wrapped the box in a blackish grey vinyl to match the interior of the truck- will add pics

 

Pics don't seem very high quality, might be due to poor service at hotel here and it is compressing the picture from phone to email. I'll repost when I add the sub box pics

I’ve been eyeballing those RC steps pretty hard. Sounds like a pretty good upgrade.

Do you have a link to this wrap?

I would not recommend that vinyl wrap. It was Vivid brand vinyl that I got from Amazon. That vinyl was terrible. It had almost no stretch even with heat, adhesion was terrible and after applying it, it basically dried and cracked on the edges. I have since redone everything with 3M brand vinyl, this can also be bought from Amazon. I would not use anything from Vivid, stick with 3M.

Took off the chrome grill and installed a black one. FYI if you purchase the black OEM grill from Chevy it comes with the black bow tie. The parts guy at Chevy didn’t even realize that. So that saves you $80 bucks right there. 

 

For Sale: Chrome stock grill :)

Swapped back to the chrome grille, dropping off the black one to have paint matched. I have the grille swap down to about 10 minutes ?

Smoked the tail lights. Tinted the headlights.

Pulled the SILVERADO from the tailgate and the Z71 from the fender.

 

I plan on black badges for the bowtie RST AND 6.2L.

Foglights I'm up in the air..

How does this affect the performance of the lights?  Does it dimthe headlights at all?

 

How would this look on mine?  I've been thinking of doing it.  I put on the GM black grille and the hooks are going back to black. 

 

 I would do the fogs too.

I havent had it out yet at night actually driving but I turned on the lights in the driveway and they were still bright.

 

I think it would look good on your truck.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      Slate Electric Truck

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
