Deep matte black vinyl wrap with a gloss black chrome delete!

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

Traveled through time, literally, and I achieved this while driving 88 mph.

 

Details: Time zone change where the posted speed limit is 80 MPH. I ALWAYS set cruise at 8 mph over the posted speed when on the highway. (I cap it at 4 mph over when not on the interstate/highways.)

Officially no more chrome left on the truck. Went ahead and removed the muffler tips and sprayed them with high-temp paint for a matte black look. Getting them off and on was such a pain because of how tight of an area there is to get the 3 bolts out from each side. Used a 10mm socket wrench for it. Especially hard if you have bigger hands like I do. As for the paint it self, I wiped them clean, used some 80 sand paper to prep for paint. Sprayed a light first coat followed up 3 heavy coats. I waited about 10-15 mins before each coat. Then a few hours to let the tips dry. Installing them was worst than removing it because of trying to get the first couple of threads on by hand was a pain. Eventually got it and am very happy with the results. I'll take some proper photos sometime next week.

Welcome to the No More Chrome On Blue Trucks Club. Northsky Blue looks amazing when you get rid of the chrome. However, the other blue that's SEO only, called Arrival Blue, looks great with chrome, imo

Cleaned up some of the wrap and put a dark film over the fog lights.

Looks good! I've been wanting to do that for a long time.. thinking either a satin black or satin grey. I've been practicing on interior trim pieces so I can attempt the exterior myself but it will be quite a process.. did you do it yourself or have it done? Any tips? / or if you don't mind me asking how much did it run you? It seems like most places around me will cost 10k..

I had mine done by a place here in Utah called Vinyl Wurx (they also do all the wrap jobs for Diesel Brothers) they did a phenomenal job and are really detail oriented, my whole truck was 4k.

Oh cool. Love watching the diesel Brothers. 4k is much more reasonable than 10k... stupid California...

I haven't watched much of Diesel Bros, but from what I've seen it appears they're located north of Salt Lakh near Woods Cross. Is the vinyl wrap shop up there too? I arrived in Salt Lake today after driving from San Diego. There is a huge difference in the cost of everything. A meal at a local restaurant would cost me $50 in California. It only cost $29 in Utah. The problems with California are real.

True from what I’ve seen a couple years back from taking a trip. Plus 2 other things I hated was that I couldn’t get just sweet tea with my lunch or dinner and they look at you weird for it 😂 Love me some sweet tea with my meals here in Tx. And those paper dissolvable straws.... 🤮. Other than that, love going to the beaches.

 

   Well typical here after just washing the truck and wife’s Yukon, it sprinkled just enough to get the truck dirty again with a little dirt blowing during the time. Told my neighbors if they wanted rain, I will just wash my rides and it will happen.

Thanks Mike. I've been curious about getting vinyl wraps, but won't be doing it this time around. My wife and I are locals, but she's in the Navy and there aren't any Naval bases in Utah. We're here to visit family while the kids are on spring break with school.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      The Peckish Synapse

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
