What do you mean de-badged?

Not sure what post you're referring to but de-badging is removing emblems (badges)  Silverado/Sierra, LTZ/SLT/RST, High Country/Denali etc.

 No green grass or nice clean truck here unfortunately.  I hate having to get acquainted with a brand new vehicle that looks like crap as soon as you pull onto the road after washing it. The amount of sand and associated dust is amazing. Yes, the truck is Havana metallic brown but it looks black most of the time.

He removed the Trail Boss stickers, not debadged, maybe destickered.

Got my AT4 about 2 weeks ago! Very happy with it. So far only got tints free from the dealer all around [emoji4]
Looking into a 1 or 1.5” level. Ordered some LEDS for the license plate already.

Any more pics of that pacific blue? It’s top on my list but no models nearby to see in person. Is it similar to a navy blue? Most dealer pics online leave something to be desired.

Calling all pacific blues!

My Trailboss is Northsky blue. Not sure if that's the same as the Pacific blue on the GMC or not

I believe the high country blue metallic has the same color code as the gmc pacific blue metallic.

The color looks amazing in person...especially when freshly washed of course! You won’t regret it!

Drove this RST Z71 home tonight. 140 miles to go get it, so I got a great first drive home. Love the ride and new features. Upgraded from my 2007 LT2 crew. Really loving this Satin Steel Metallic. All the sales guys were coveting my truck. Lol

Very nice! I haven't seen Satin Steel on a lot yet. Does it have a tiny hint of blue in real life? I love the GMC Dark Sky color, and wondering how similar they are.

Landed an LT with the 5.3 liter, bed protection package, rubber floor liner, and ‘20 wheels. My first truck. Went from a VW GLI to this Silverado. Two extremes.

Welcome to the site Squire! Great looking Silverado :thumbs:

There were only 3 RST Z71s with Convenience I & II within a 500 mile range of me in DFW. My dealer found this one outside San Antonio. So, yeah, the Satin Steel is hard to find. 

 

It's an awesome color because of how it can “morph” in shade and sun. So yeah, it can look sometimes slightly blueish in the shade - like my initial picture. But here are some in the direct sun...

With the color of the wheels matching the paint that truck looks really good. Time to remove that z71 badge...

I do think that's the only thing I don't like about the new exterior. I wish it was back on the back, upper bed under the rail like it used to be... where the 4x4 is now. Kind of odd to have it on the front upper fender.

I agree completely. I do not like the placement at all of the z71 badge. The adhesive they used on the badge is a pain, I contemplated gasoline a couple of times but my better judgement won me over.

All I have are Dirty pictures of mine. But im loving the truck. Way better over my 2017 WT. (I did love my 2017) But this one is just better in every way. Just wish it had a mechanical floor 4x4 shifter like my old one.

    • This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.
    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps. 
    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • 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.
