Looks good,  but take it all the way and lose the Z71 badge and go w a vinyl decal... will look even better... My 2 cents

I may do that.  Low on the list of plans, however. Need a louder muffler, leveling kit, 33s, intake, and a spray in liner. For some reason, mine didn't come with one and I forgot to ask.

flowmaster 40 is not bad, but if you want loud... maybe the 10 series...   Def on the spray liner....

Ordered a couple of pieces of the sticker stuff folks are using for tailgate lettering inserts. Turns out you can buy custom sizes. I ordered a couple of 10"x1" pieces from bdtrims.com in flat red.  $5/piece and $3 shipping.

 

Basically unscrew the bolts to remove the top cover, clean the "Silverado"  area off with alcohol pad (supplied), reposition cover to mark the edges with pencil, apply the sticker and button it up. Looks sharp

Tried to do this also because I saw you post and thought it was cool.  The bolts holding the plate on will not come out.  Just spin like they are stripped.  Did your bolts all come out nicely?

I had the cherry bomb extreme on mine initially but I removed it.  It's not that loud on these trucks.  If you want loud, do an electric cutout like I ended up doing.  No drone and sounds like a corvette.  Deep and throaty.

I don't remember having an issue.  I do remember though that I had to hold the washer at the top of the screw in place while turning the screw.   Mine were all pretty loose,  so it was pretty easy.  If I had to do it over, I'd probably use some lock-tite to keep them secure-

A muffler delete worked great for me, flow master turned out not to add much sound.

Led license plate bulbs and reverse lights. Waiting for my delivery for the front turn signals. :D

Did you cover the mesh areas as well, or just delete the muffler?  I'm curious how this sounds, because it'd be a cheap modification instead of doing a cat-back system.

Cleaned the interior. Baseball all weekend. Daughter decided to roll in chalk (she looked like a ghost). This is what it looked like when I got home [emoji15]. A little interior detailer spray cleaned it right up

I just happened to cover the mesh screens today only a slight difference.  The muffler delete works great though:

Thanks for the video!!  This is louder than I expected.  No drone in the cab or anything with this setup?

Nope, the catalytic converter on these were supposedly designed by Cadillac engineers and keeps these trucks quiet.  You can hear it when accelerating but not at cruising.  I'd prefer it a bit louder but not willing to replace the cat.  My previous trucks had a deep rumble + drone with common aftermarket cat-backs, but this 2019 setup is drone-less.

 

Oh - that vid was from before I covered the screens...  its a touch throaty-er now

 

Good luck-

I just picked the truck back up.

  • Leather Katzkin interior.
    • I had a hard time finding one with all of the options I wanted, with leather.  We checked within 500 miles and there wasn't one.  This one had everything but the leather.  Not anymore. :D
  • 15% tint on the front windows.
  • 5% tint visor on the top of the windshield.
  • Backflip G2 Tonneau.

 

I'm not so sure about these chrome steps.  Really debating if Amps are worth the the money, or just changing to all black.  It doesn't make sense they'd put these on an RST, which removes chrome!  Nevertheless, lovin' it so far!

    • 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.
