DTB,

Could you take that middle finger out of the front of the front fenders ?  Run the body line straight down from the hood/fender seam to the existing line on the bottom of the front of the fender, and replace that little chunk of metal with some driving lights ?

 

Thank you so much for removing the Nissan Titan fenders and doors !!

 

Round wheel arches over round tires ?  What a novel idea !!

 

Have you done anything with the Tundra/F150 tailgate  ?

 

Guess the millenneals have invaded all of the Big Three design studios . All of the trucks are starting to look alike. I miss the days when you could tell the brand of a vehicle without reading the name badge.

 

Yea, I'm an old fart and I don't care for the 2019's at all. And I really don't like texting either.....

Looks worse in my opinion.  The mirrors were moved for a reason, so that you can see better when looking out the windows.  Also, in my opinion, the aero curtains really give the truck a mean look.  Other than on this forum, I have only had one person tell me that they don't like the new 19 Silverado, while every other person has told me that they love the look.  I think for those of you that don't like the look, it will grow on most of you in a year or two.

Ah, I see now. I guess I missed the other items. It must be because it looks normal now, haha. Thanks!

I agree with you Matt.

The GM mirrors are unique in placement in comparison to the other makers.

Moving the mirrors onto the door panels by far was more of a functionality over form instance in this case.

I believe critics would have had a heyday if GM didn't make some bold upgrades/changes to the exterior. GM chose to retain some of the interior features which upsets some people.  OP's renditions  look good but not better, imo.  I find the relocation of the mirror mount issue amusing.  Many of us thought it was a poor design when they moved the mirror to where vent windows were originally positioned.  Maybe future trucks will see a return of triangle shaped vent windows to this spot!

The door mounted mirrors wouldn’t be so much of an issue if they didn’t have the cheap looking filler plate on the old location. It’s almost like an after thought. Everything 2019 related is almost like an after thought.  Kind of like the aero curtains. Looks like a last minute add on. Chop the side of the bumper off an have the fender hang down 2 feet. No integration at all.

What I think looks most like an "afterthought" is the cheap looking rear cab air foil/spoiler add on. 

Just an abs piece affixed with double sided tape most likely.

Any chance of posting the original pics so we can compare side by side?  In one post would be awesome.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
