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

Yup. The repair cost was at $24,****** after tearing the front end apart but before any work. The body shop is still waiting on any parts to come in and said it would be probably after the first of the year before its fixed. They are going to have to cut the entire front inner fender structure off the firewall and weld a new one on. They are also going to have to cut the front 1 foot off the driver side frame rail and replace it. That's still not enough for insurnace to total the truck. They said the repair had to be at $38,****** to total it.

 

So I traded it yesterday for a 2024 Silverado LTZ 3.0 Duramax that is spec'd out the same as a High Country. I didn't want to deal with the issues that truck was going to have after it was fixed, and I was only 10 days from running out of rental coverage. The only real difference in the new one and my old white one is the sunroof, HUD, camera rearview mirror, and bed view camera. I've still got several things to do to the new truck to make it what I want, but it should be there in about a week or 2 (wheel to wheel step bars, tinted windows, POV FD response lights, glow tie, PPE transmission cooler, PPE transmission line block, & dash cameras).

I heard the wet style air filter are not very healthy for turbo engines. I ran the k&n for about a day also and I didn't really liked the extra whistling noise coming from the turbo.. return it and I upgraded my 2021 3.0 Duramax air filter with one of this...

No issues after 50.000km of using it...at still plenty of life left on it.

You did the right thing. I wouldn't want a new truck all patched together either. 

The 24 is sweet. What was the sticker on it?

You were able to trade in a truck with $24,000+ collision damage before it had even been repaired?  Wow, that sounds like a dealer desperate for some inventory!  

 

Did they give you fair market value assuming it makes it out repairs o.k.?  If so, did you take a hit on value with the major repair?  What if it ends up being totalled?

They aren't desperate for inventory. I only buy vehicles from them and have bought about 25 vehicles from them in the last 8 years. I'm good friends with the salesman.

 

I took a hit on the trade value (about $5k). Unfortunately Indiana doesn't have first party diminished value (only GA does). With the at fault parties insurance having sub par coverage to pay for the damages, I had to go through my insurance. They won't total it. It's still very far away from totaling ($13k) and they have assessed all the damages.

That's amazing.  You came out of this ordeal smelling like a rose!  Congrats and enjoy the new truck.

I wouldn't say like a rose. I took at hit on the trade. I think I came out ok though.

Since my truck is not intended  for a work truck, I wanted to dress up the bed a little.   I added the swing case tool box from Realtruck.  OK it has a few tools in it.  It makes good storage.  Installation is very simple and the swing feature is great.

 

Installed a divider mid bed to help keep cargo within reach of the tailgate when I don't need the full length bed.  Added a small fire extinguisher just in case.

 

Added the bed rug bed mat to dress up the floor.  The XLT goes across onto the tailgate.  The one for the multipro gate leaves the top section of the gate uncovered.  I felt that looked a little bare.  So I decided to dress that part up with some wood strips

GlowTie ✔️

Rear Black bowtie ✔️

Interior front dash lights (VFD) ✔️

Dash camera ✔️

Windows tinted ✔️

 

I only took a picture of the Glowtie and the black bowtie on the tailgate. The Glowtie was really easy to install (about 15 minutes total). The tailgate gold bowtie was barely hanging on and there was a bunch of water behind it.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      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.

      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.
