Just picked it up 2-days ago.....love it. So much more technology than my '20 RST. 

Best part.....my insurance premium actually went down a little bit!

Check this sick beast out, so far I got an exhaust tip, and a shorty antenna, haha. J/K (Antenna installed after this pic) This is my 2019 2wd Silverado W/T with the "Custom" bodycolor grill parts, 8ft bed, and alloys that U-Haul orders, and the 5.3L V8 with the tow package and 3.42 rear end. I got this with 7,800 abusive miles on it, and some light hail damage from U-Haul AZ. Now she's up here in the rust belt of the midwest, getting a lot of Fluid Film to buy us some time. Soon to be an overlander with lifted/leveled 2" or so, 33" AT tires, wheel well liners, rear locker, tow hooks, mud flaps, fog lights, side steps, a high-rise cap with a bed, refrigerator, computer desk, ventilation fan, and solar battery system to keep everything powered. Gonna take her across the country, mostly on the road, with some light backroads, and live out of the back. Plan to hit Planet Fitness for showers. I want it to be a fuel-efficient home base for extended photography trips. Right now I can eek out 24mpg on the highway. Hopefully the mods don't take away too much mpg.

Actually didn't purchase it there, just picking up a couple accessories....

I purchased it at Morrie's Forest Lake Chevrolet, I'm from White Bear Lake.

Man that looks great.  I was going to ask dieselfan1 for a tailgate shot like you just gave because I wanted to see how it matched with the chrome Silverado and Trim emblems.  Thanks, beautiful truck!

23 AT4 tan one. Took my 2019 gas Sierra to make a deal on a 23 Silver SLT with the Duramax. They've been difficult to find here and this AT4 was up the hill still wrapped in some plastic. While we negotiated on the Silver SLT, the salesman managed to get this to the front door to show me. I was sold. IT's my retirement ( in another 24mos ) gift to myself.

Picked this up on Friday. I was nervous to order the Sterling Gray since I hadn't seen one in person yet. But I wanted the Satin Steel and Silver Ice before they were discontinued, so I took a shot on it. It's somewhere in between the two, and I'm really happy with the color!

I spent a few hours yesterday washing White Lightning. (Because she's quick!) I've got a blown disc in my back, and a partially torn rotator cuff, but my old detailing ways got the best of me today, so I broke out the clay bar, the Jetseal 109, wheel wash, vinyl dressing, ect and gave her the full treatment. All the tar and little orange rail dust spots are gone, and she'll be beading up water for some time to come. So, I took her out for a photoshoot in medium format digital. Soon to be a road-going photography machine to take me out there.

Finally was able to get some new wheels and tires. 

 

I need to do something with the side steps.  I like them, but I have to figure out how to repaint them or get them powder coated.  They are 3.5 years old and getting some rust spots.

 

Also need to do paint correction, clay bar, compound/polish and ceramic coat.  She will really shine then.  Not even waxed in these pics.

    • I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.    
    • Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
    • If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.
    • It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.
    • JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
