I like that metallic pop. Do you have any other pictures Seth?

Not too many other Smokey Quartz trucks out there that I have seen.

Not a lot. Need to clean it up and get some wax on it. I posted one earlier that showed the color well. Very metallic brown in the sun and grey in the shade.

With the longer bed, you can haul those Icebergs around town! LOL   Great looking truck Matt.

You do not see many CC Standard beds in the Trail Boss configuration.

haha thanks! Definitely a rarer setup, which is nice. Just traded a '16 White LT and there's about 1000 white work truck silverados around. Nice to have something unique

What’d it cost you and roughly how long to cover the truck ?


Kit is a little over $100. Time is dependent on the state of the paint. It was a two day process for my truck. My car was about a week but I did panel by panel since it was early spring and I wasn’t driving the car.

There are a lot of at4s running around. Think it and the trail boss are going to be big sellers for gm.

With K2,  SLT and LT/LTZ packages were the big sellers.

2020 will most likely reflect more TrailBoss packages sold over this year, as they will be available with the 6.2

I have yet to see another AT4 or even a Trail Boss in my area, but this area is always SO behind on everything. For now, I'll enjoy my "uniqueness". :D

Same here.  LT's, RST's, HC's and Denali.  Very few SLT's and no SLE's or AT4's..

This is what i consider a Chameleon color. Love that it looks gray to iridium in dark conditions and a brown in the sunlight :thumbs:

Anyone remember the Bermuda blue from the GMT900 SUV's ?

Yes i do. The tahoes were really good looking in that color.

I really miss the Iridium metallic colour .  One of my all time favourites;  closest thing to true charcoal grey you could get.  I must say the Smokey quartz and satin steel metallic colours are very sharp indeed.

    • I had an 88 K1500 with a 5.7 that had those symptoms, I know totally different, it ended up being the ECM. Once you get the fuel system fixed if it still runs lousy you may want to investigate that. it didn't set any codes, stalled ,ran rough at times etc
    • Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-
    • Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.     
    • I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
    • I do too. I’ll never be stuck again 😂
