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

Needed some dirt to fill in around our new well.  I could have used a little more and might go get it tomorrow.  I didn't think this was going to be 2,500lbs of dirt.  I must say, it road really nice. :)

I like the flush fit and that my floor mats are still full length.

While installing my new bed cover I realized the rear stake pockets would be halfway covered up, so I bought some caps for the stake pockets.  Shortly after doing this my wife attempted to climb into the back of the bed to watch our son's baseball game.  It didn't go well, she got upset, and I was on the doghouse.  Still trying to figure that one out since it's my truck.  Anyways, she told me to fix it.  I decided to install the pole/handle that is available for the trucks with the multipro tailgates.  It took my dealer a little work because GM has some stupid thing going on where it's on indefinite backorder, but if you can place an order with a VIN number then they'll get it to you asap.  He built on truck on GMC's website and ran an inventory search to get the VIN.  Everything arrived today, and this was one of the easiest installs I've ever had to do.  Right up there with changing the reverse lights to LED.  Btw, this install just barely fits with the Retrax bed cover.  Parts needed are the pole/handle, a mounting bracket, 2 nuts, and 1 bolt.  Total cost with tax will set you back about $250.

 

Btw, wife gave this a try and is satisfied.

Not bad at all!  Did this come with the needed hardware (2 nuts & 1 bolt) when you got it from the dealer?  I'd like to do the same with my 2019 Sierra

Were the removal of the wood grain trim and install of new trim difficult?  About how much time did it take?  What tools need etc?  Thanks for any info!

IMO, exhaust bezels and fender emblems should have been part of the Blackout kit, GM is chintzy.

This looks interesting. Did your truck have the smaller under seat storage before this? Interested in how this replaces what came in my truck since there’s so much more storage space with this.

My RST had nada....looked at the one GM offered but it was too expensive for me for what it is. Installation was super easy.

RealTruckdotcom had the best price on the Husky Gearbox. I chatted up a sales rep and secured a better price than was listed. I was able to save several more bucks that way.

      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.
