Working on all the upgrades and it’s back at the dealer now having the fabtech leveling kit added to the fabtech stealth 3in lift that’s currently on it. Running 35’s on fuel 20x9’s. I’ve added led highs and lows along with DTL LEDs above the tow hooks which are tapped into the headlamp fuse block, hard tonneau cover from GM, 5% ceramic tint all around, entire windshield tinted at 35% with 5% strip, and I’m waiting on the off road steps to come in so if anyone would be interested in the chrome ones currently on mine I’ll make a good deal on them I live in SC.

So basically you were just shooting to blind oncoming traffic and vehicles you are behind at night? Looks like you accomplished that with those headlights... Might be a better idea to upgrade to some proper LED housings that are made for the bulbs.

After re reading my post I misquoted my headlights. I did not do LED bulbs on the headlights. I only added the LED DTL lights on the bottom valence above the tow hooks. I went with the Philips Diamond Vision HB3 and H11 HID Halogen bulbs . They are great and id say about 24% brighter than the crappy factory ones. I ran into the situation you speak of on my previous Silverado when adding the Led bulbs to a headlight made for halogen and won’t do that again.

Awesome, I have the 2019 Custom Trial Boss with 5.3L and was thinking about the Muffler Delete, is that what you mean by straight pipe exhaust?  If so, how do you like it, how is the noise at freeway cruising speeds, any drone?  Can you add a pic of the underside?  THANKS!

Hello everyone, new to the site, here is my new 2020 LT Trail Boss. I’ve had it for a week and I love it so far. Ram guy in the past, I saw the Trail Boss and I had to have one.

To be honest I think I’ve grown out of the “extreme loud” exhaust phase I was once in and now I like a nice deep rumble which is why I added the cherry bomb to it just to tone it down just a bit. The straight pipe I put in after cutting out the stock muffler and flapper was just a bit too loud in the cab when accelerating but honestly these trucks are not like trucks of old and a straight pipe is really deep but a cleaner sound with no popping pike they used to.

New to the forum and just purchased my first GM truck ever. Excited for all the upcoming projects I have planned for it and following this page for guidance!

I’ve been on this forums since 2017 when I had my 2017 GMC Sierra regular cab (7 inch lift)... haven’t engaged on the site for sometime now.... well today I took delivery of my new 2020 trailboss LT , .. I have a leveling kit scheduled and  some nfab steps with husky rear liners on the way.... hope to be a contributor to the sore once again .

    • 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.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
