Beautiful truck!

Thank you. I have had it for 2 years on Jan 16th. I do not plan on ever getting rid of this truck and that is coming from some one that had a hard time keeping any car or truck for over 2 years lol. I traded a 2018 Z71 All Star Edition for this back in January of 2021.

If anyone is intersted, attached is the install guide that my dealership emailed me. Never could find it online anywhere and it does not come with the instructions.

Looks good!  Now you can "nudge" things aside 👍.

I installed lettering for the bed caps similar to the tailgate letter inserts. We shall see how well they hold up to driving and washing. Hopefully they do well since they are supposedly an Officially Licensed GM product.

Is white the only color option?

Not sure from the seller I bought this one from, but I did see red and blue when searching.

 

Here is the listing where I got these.

Installed the Boost Auto Parts tow mirrors... All functions still work just like OEM.

 

Of course, now I need to change out my running boards to something black...  and the wheels to something black... the modding begins!

Looking good. 

Did you remember what options did you choose for the mirrors?

Did you order any extra harnesses?

I'm trying to get a set for my Silverado that has the blind spot and the outside perimeter lights but I'm a bit confused about the options you need to click on the order form...

I see your truck is equipped with the parking sensors....so I'm assuming you also have the blind spot and the outside perimeter lights options also. 

 

Thank you very much.

Newest mod to the truck: BajaDesigns Light bar. Came with all the wiring and the switch. Light output is really great, especially as winter is approaching.

Looking good. 

Are the towing mirrors the Boost Auto Parts one's....or are they OEM?

I'm trying to swap my regular mirrors for some towing ones but because my truck is equipped with the blind spot option....is very hard to find one that match.....I see your truck has the parking sensors so I'm assuming you have the blind spot option as well....

Do you remember a part number on yours.

Thank you very much.

No they are from Spec-D off of RealTruck Link here

 

Yes the OEM mirrors did have the blind spot monitoring but these ones don't. I was very unsure if I'd be okay without blind-spot but it worked out. Since the tow mirrors have the bottom concave mirror, it allows me to see my blind spot clearly. Definitely worth it.

Thank you very much for the reply.

Do you get any errors or check engine light because this mirrors don't have the blind spot option?

I heard some of the truck throw an error if you swap the mirrors for one's without the blind spot.

    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
    • 286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔           
    • hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you
