Anyone looking for a set of wheel skins?   They are molded covers for the RST wheels.   I am selling my second set. They are brand new in the box, never used or installed as I have a set already.  I've had them on all winter and they have stayed put and held their shine through the salty roads.  I love them on my truck!!!    Better than plastidip!!!  

 

$75 and I'll go half in on shipping.   PM me

Just got my 3" lift installed. Superlift w/upper control arms. Bilstein shocks in the rear. Couldn't be happier. Rides incredible. Looks much better now. Before and after pics.

Got a good deal on some 2.5 bypasses and threw them onto my truck. Took about 15 minutes a side to get them bolted on and then charged with nitrogen. Already had the bypass hoop welded onto the frame/coilover bucket when the dirt king kit was installed. The extra damping is definitely noticeable and gives a better ride. The coilover was valved pretty soft to let a bypass do most of the work.

Added some fog lights that the wife got me for Xmas. Amazon Specials but fir in the factory location, adjustable, LED and the wiring seems good. I wired them into the fuse box to run with the headlights. I think I have it running correctly now.

I took delivery! 2021 SLE. Just had katzkin installed. I plan on removing the running boards tonight. I have a ProComp front spacer I bought from Dylan199 on this site. I also have a Speed Turtle EZ flash module to install this evening as well

Installed the illuminated GMC Emblem. Sadly, I broke a couple of clips on the grill hence the zip ties. I put epoxy behind the emblem where those clips were to help hold it in place. I have decided, playing with the grill is not fun at all. I am not 100% sure I got the clips in all the way where the painted section is between the grill and the headlight assy. They dont seem to look odd but still not 100%. Either way, its working and doesnt "appear" to be anything off center etc. Next weekend the AS/S disabler should arrive and Ill put that on.

Apparently I did not get the two clips back in on the bumper cover section between the grill and headlight assy. Anyone know how to get those two clips on each side back in by chance? Dealer can look at it on Wed and said it may cost around $150 for labor. If its something simple and stupid I am missing to do it myself I would greatly appreciate the advise. Thanks.

I did not. In a video I had seen it showed removing the top shroud and 4 bolts and popping it out a bit. Unfortunately, it pops out those clips. No video mentions it so it doesnt say how to get them back in. I tried everything I could but the angle was just wrong to get it in correctly.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • 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.
