Griots Garage Satin Black.  You're welcome.

I use Karbon Jet Black Rubber Renew on the tires - love it because there is never any overspray on the truck after driving.

Also use formula 3030 aerospace protectant on all interior and exterior tonneau cover.  Looks great and is not greasy feeling like Armor All of days past. (Plus that is what the tonneau cover company recommends)

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

Cleaned inside and out, plus played around with some plasti-dip this weekend to see how I like the matte black look. I think it looks much better. We will see how well it holds up, especially on exhaust tips.

My wife and neighbors were so confused when they saw me taping off and spray painting my truck. emoji23.png It was a little windier than I would have liked, but any overspray cleaned up rather easily.61a661ee52865c609294cf145a1eb27e.jpgf003025634b7e4741558283fed4ccd7b.jpg00ac097ba28297625ef42c238710982f.jpgda6890674a84a46ef9d33c48c3166d38.jpg

Installed the tailgate step lights. I've read that the Kicker and lights can't work together. Fake news

 

Now to install a second pair of the step light leds into the kick panels on the center console to illuminate the footwells.

Got these painted while waiting on my wheels to come back from powder coating. They were still wet when I I took the pics. Looks way better once they dried. Think they will look good with my black wheels.

Got the truck back from the detail shop. Got a full ceramic coat done on the truck as well as PPF on the front bumper. I plan on keeping this truck for a while so doing everything to keep it clean.

Wasn't a problem, just unplugged the kicker harness tee off the tailgate button, plugged light harness tee into the tailgate button, then plugged kicker harness into the light harness. 

 

Both work together and separately. Tailgate button works as well.

I added some bush stripes on both sides today. Decided to check out the Otay Truck Trail. About midway, wedged between a rock and a drop into a dry creek bed, I came to point were bushes were overgrowing on both sides of the trail. Thought I could make it without scratching the truck, but I was wrong. Got to the end of the trail and found the exit closed, so I had to turn around and do it again. At least the bush stripes are on both sides. Went to the carwash before heading home and inspected damage. The stripes don't appear to go beyond the clear coat. I already ordered a 3M repair kit. Hopefully they'll buff out.

Looks nice!  Those old tips are a pain in the ass to get off, I don't know how people do it without taking the steps out.  I just did that tonight, dropped it off at the shop to get the quad tips welded on tomorrow.  Mine are just stainless ebay specials and round with the slant cut.

      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.
