AT4 wheels from OE wheels in black instead of the gray. 1" level.

I did the same wheels (but grey) on my Silverado!  I think they go really well with the truck, yours looks GREAT!

Nice truck... but nice MTB, too! ?? 

Thanks - I'm really enjoying them both. And the setup has worked out great for hauling the bike.

what kind of bike rack is that ?

That's a Thule Upride, mounted on the GM/Thule Gearon crossbars. Works a treat.

Very clean aggressive look... can you give more info on the Eibach lift , specs , size , price ... I have a 2020 trail boss and just want a usable suspension not just a “jack up” truck .. I’ve been there and want a lower center of gravity with real offroad capability.

You mean like the hundreds of thousands of hours and tens of millions of dollars spent designing and testing the trail boss suspension? The same one that is raised 2" with matched shocks, hybrid tires, protection and excellent capabilities? Guess you can always throw on a level with some more aggressive and larger tires and deem it "more useable" while raising the center of gravity. This doesn't at all look capable and useable as it was designed from the factory...

Perhaps the real problem is GM's over use of the phrase, "Gentlemen, sharpen your pencils".

My 20 Replicas with new Ridge Grapplers in stock size 275/60R20. Can't ignore the great stance with them. I will be putting in some miles on them this weekend but so far I feel they sure grab onto the road really well.

Subject matter expert ?  Or just like most of us, just truck enthusiast who love our trucks and like to get ideas from others with the same passion?

    • 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.
