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

I got tired of my front end looking like it had been sandblasted. The only complaint I have of the truck is the weak paint on the front bumper and grill. So, to remedy this, I installed the Ecoological front bumper and grill covers. The grill cover was a breeze. The bumper cover took some extra work removing parts to get the ends on properly. All in all, it took me about 2 hours working by myself while watching the 5-year-old as well. With me having the 3.0 Duramax, I had to use a trim took to get the top piece of trim off the bumper as I couldn't get to the backside of its clips. Unless you are looking or know what to look for, you really can't tell they are on there.

 

They are a little pricey but cheaper than a repaint. They are injection molded plastic with the color running throughout. I looked into having them wrapped in white vinyl, but I would have had to disassemble the entire front end so they wouldn't have to use a knife on a painted surface. I am going to have the front wings wrapped to get them covered up and protected.

I like that. I thought about getting the grill cover in black when I was contemplating a black grill instead of getting a black grill.

I almost got the black ones for mine. The main reason I didn't is how tight it would fit around the bowtie and maybe show white.

Good point with the white especially.  Mine is dark gray and would maybe be ok.  Can you  see the original white behind the new cover around the bowtie much?

The white does not show through. It fits pretty tight around the emblem. I guess that is how they sell it as a "chrome cover" or color change.

 

I also would have gotten the black rear bumper cover too if I'd have gone that route.

Replaced the round, amber (yellow) marker lights I had installed with these actually amber rectangular marker lights. I think it looks much better. Plus I added my own vinyl on the "Chevrolet" stamped tailgate..

 

Truck is super dirty from last trail I was on so it doesn't stand out as well. But getting my truck detailed next weekend.

Ordered led’s to replace the license plate, reverse and turn signals. Will finally be all led on the truck. don’t understand why they wouldn’t do this from the start

Did the Lasfit turn signal bulbs work for you without any hyperblinking? I installed them on my 2021 RST and they hyperblinked.

Replaced the useless 22" fugly antenna with a 3.5" blue stubby (don't listen to AM/FM); installed WeatherTech side window deflectors; WeatherTech cocoa front and back floor mats; added a console organizer and tray; wrapped the entire front end (bumper to 4" above the Windshield, including the alpha pillars); added ceramic window tint on driver & front passenger windows; clear Ceramic film on the windshield; ordered AMP Power Steps and LUX white LED rock lights for the steps (they are magnetic and more than twice as bright as the lights AMP Research uses) to replace OEM chrome running boards; ordered A.R.E. LSII fiberglass Pacific Blue Metallic tonneau cover. Next on the list is a BedRug bed liner, But, now I gotta hit the Lottery - anybody know some lucky numbers?

I’ve had no issues with mine.  The one time they did hyperflash, I was sitting at a train with my signal on for a while.  Turned off the blinker, went back to normal.

These are the ones. They run white and flow down amber with the turn signal. Only wish was that they were brighter. You see them great at night, not as well in the daytime.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      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.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
