Removed the flapper.  Still have it at home if this thing drones but I don’t think it will.

It's been done a few hundred times already, but I swapped out the chrome exhaust tips for the OEM black ones. This finishes off all the chrome on my truck, the way it should have came from the factory. This will probably be all the mods until we get our house built and moved in; gotta save cash.

 

Here is some advise if you are not going to take the steps out of the bumper to do the install.

  1. Get yourself either a battery powered (preferred) or an air powered 1/4" drive ratchet
  2. Reuse your existing tips speed nuts
  3. Pay attention to the placement
    • The R & L are different
    • It is stamped into the top of the tip which is which
  4. Start with the control bolt (inner bolt on both sides), then the one above the exhaust, followed by the outside bolt
    • Don't tighten any of them down until you get them all started
  5. Tighten the 2 bolts in the bumper up evenly
  6. If you have big forearms, don't attempt not removing the steps

I added lights to my Diamondback HD.  They wanted $50 for a battery operated one.  I got this kit from amazon LED Lights for $28 bucks, a little split loom to cover the wire ($10) and a few feet of extra wire ($10).  I wired into the constant power from the trailer connection and now I have two light bars, one for each lid of the top (kit comes with two light bars).  It has a remote that you can change the color too, which is really nice in the morning changing to hunt (turn it on red and you don't mess up your night time vision)lights.thumb.jpg.b718ce78f3c1248c06fa8ebc1a5a8627.jpgswitch.thumb.jpg.a977e05cd68ae1e67d4e7d7d23d4db74.jpg

It finally arrived, the word "Shortage" is a broad spectrum. Soft top camper, paid in full 6 months ago, had my doubts to cancel 3 different times but just kept thinking "maybe 1 more month?''. Put it to use right away, camping trip 260 miles at 70 to 85 mph, no noise no rattle, The wait was worth it.

Those trees are tall.  Any chance you have a closer pic of the inside?  Which brand?  I think there is only one but wanted to be sure.  I have the carbon pro bed so not sure if it will mount w/o massive intervention.  Thanks.

Thanks Steve! A fellow camper came up to me and asked "what color is that?", he had placed an order for Blue and said after seeing my truck he said he might change his order before it's set in stone, LOL..

I'll add some pictures later after I've washed the truck, but I added a couple of mods for towing to my 2019 Denali. First, added the Brembo brake upgrade. It's pricey, but wanted the added stopping force. Love the look too. Definitely a lot more grab and a lot less pedal squish.

 

I also took it to a suspension shop and had a 1,000 pound rated leaf spring custom molded and added to both of the stock leaf packs. It definitely rides a little stiffer; not harsh, but stiffer. Added rake to the stance which I'm good with since the truck sat pretty level prior anyway. 

 

I'm towing a 27 foot Airstream, max weight of 7,600 pounds and tongue weight loaded of 870 pounds. To that I added a ProPride hitch which, when loaded and on the trailer, upped the tongue weight to 910 against my 930 limit. That's before cranking up the weight distribution bars. Note, I won't use the added spring as an excuse to overload the rated hitch weight or payload; I'll be keeping the pickup bed pretty much empty when towing. But I anticipate a reduction in porpoising effect I still had on occasion even with the weight distribution bars cranked up. I won't be towing again until spring so it will be a while before I can report on the experience.

    • I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here. 
    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • 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.
