Doug H, 

What kind of bed cover do you have?

It looks very form fitting.

It is the LOMAX hard tri-fold cover.  So far I am very impressed with the fit and finish.

Doug, How long from when your truck got a VIN until it arrived?  I got a VIN on 09/10 but GM keeps telling me it is code 4300 in Ft. Wayne, hasn't been shipped, and no ETA.  Good looking truck by the way!

It was 3 weeks for me!

Unfortunately, Some trucks have warped windshields and are being held at the staging lot for repair.

Just picked up my 2019 Silverado High Country in Havana Brown Metallic. It is interesting how the color changes under different light conditions!1f60e.png  Only have 23 miles on it and still have a lot to set up.  The truck definitely sit higher than the 2016.  The seats are firmer and the HUD is awesome!  Will update more as I get used to truck.

Doug,  Are the interior colors on your truck Dark Slate/Walnut?  I prefer that to the Jet Black. It goes very well with your exterior color on your truck!

Cheers Dennis

Finally got the truck out on the Highway.  Handles, rides and appears to accelerate better than the 2016.  Love the HUD!  The seats are definitely firmer than the 2016.  Also, I discovered there is No CD player!  Since I travel a lot and like listening to Books on CD, I am going to have to find a work around.  They also eliminated the sun glass holder in the overhead.  I have attached some photos of the 1st Tank, 2nd tank and current 50 mile MPG Fuel Average.  So far pretty Happy with the Truck.

I am getting the 3M version as soon as the shop get the 2019 front end patterns.

I’d stay away from 3M, go with Xpel instead. To many problems with 3M.

Had not heard that!  The shop that I trust uses 3M products and it comes with a 10 year warranty!  I guess I will find out since on October 2 my front will be getting the 3M treatment.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.
