How have you guys been swapping the blinkers? I am having hell and really don’t want to disassemble the grill.

It's not located where you think it is. There's a knob without a pigtail attached. That's the actual bulb socket. It's a little higher up. Look at the light from the front to approximate where the bulb is, and locate the knob on the back in that general area. There's some sort of electrical wizardry going on there.

You got balls to try that with zero experience. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji122][emoji122]

My options were:

1) Take it to a shop and pay a lot of money, or
2) Try doing it myself and save a bunch of money.

If option #2 failed there was always option #1 as a fallback plan. I can afford option #1, but wanted to save as much money as possible.

Swapped out the halogen turn signals and reverse bulbs for LED.

Wish all work was that easy!

Replaced the TB decals with all black ones.

 

Replaced the chrome/red Z71 badges with black/red ones.

 

Installed 1.5" leveling spacers.

 

Cut out muffler and flapper valve and installed Flowmaster FlowFX muffler.

Where did the all black TrailBoss decal come from? I removed mine all together, but that might make me put it back!

It’s either that or tinting the front windows to match the others as mod 1.

But yeah, ridiculous that GM isn’t consistent with its LED lighting.

I left my truck sit in garage all weekend and today because we got another 5 inches yesterday and after spending an hour cleaning it on Friday night. It was gonna stay clean.  Drove wife’s Acadia to work. That thing is a lot easier to clean than my “tank”. Can’t believe how much bigger these trucks are compared to her Acadia.

That’s too funny. Ya this T1 standard box is a h@ll of a lot bigger than my K2 short box. And twice as big as my wife’s Acadia. I can clean and dry that in about a half an hour in a heated bay. My truck takes about an hour and ten minutes.

    • I just brought home a 2020 GMC 1500 Denali.  She has 53K miles on her and I want to change out the fluids over the next few weeks.  I see the diff covers don't have drain plugs.  Any suggestions where I can pick up front and rear diff covers with drain plugs?   Thanks,   Bob
    • Well, the dealership got the compressor and installed it. Air at the vents seems nice and cold as it should be. The service manager said the repair has a two year warranty and unlimited mileage. Hopefully I don't have to use it. The dealership i went to was one where I bought my 2014 half ton silverado. In 10 years and 168k miles on the truck anything I needed done and two small recalls they were always very good to me. Not a huge dealer either. I think they treat people well because they want you to come back. I have dealt with a different dealer that was too big to care about an individual. Just my two cents.
    • Hi All, I operate my 2021 3500 SLT most of the time with the tailgate off and in a crate because I have a slide-in camper. However, at least once a year, I take the camper off and put the tailgate back on. Recently I installed the tailgate, but had a hard time getting the connector bail to swing to the fully latched position. The connector seems to fully seat, and everything works, but the bail doesn’t swing to fully latched position.  It swings almost there but stops and I am afraid to push it any harder.    Does anyone have any advice on cleaning or lubrication or anything else I should be doing?  i know how to properly operate the connector. During the time the tailgate and connector are off, i have a double plastic bag over the truck connector secured with rubber bands to keep it clean, but it still had some dust in it this time when I blew it out with compressed air. I didn’t want to spray it with anything other than air without doing some research. Thanks. 
    • There are a lot of spammer's that do that, quote something and add some commentary to make it seem legit, but modify the quoted text a bunch making sure when posted it's long enough to be "click to expand", and either immediately insert a spam link, or come back after some time and edit it to add the spam link.
    • Hello @jaszr2 Do you have a link for the item? I put a replacement bumper on my truck and consequently had to relocate the shutters. I studied on them a while, and figured if you left a couple key blades, you could get most of the airflow with probably no throwing codes.
