I need help trying to figure out what to do with my slate gray 2500.  I can't find any pictures of them that aunt stock.  I plan on leveling with stock wheels and 295/70r18s.  I would love to see what you guys with the same color have done!

I really like the slate gray color! I was trying to get one instead of the white I ended up with. There is one in my town on a 10inch lift and powder coated everything I did but color matched to his body. Running on 24x14’s wrapped in 37’s. It is SUPER tough! I hope to see some nice ones posted here.

Absolutely NOTHING wrong with your white truck, one of the nicer trucks (any color) I've seen :thumbs: Although, after seeing the slate gray, it is a very nice color...haven't seen it before.

Thank you sir! I don’t think there are a ton of them out there because I’ve only seen 1 or 2 in person. The first time I saw the gentleman’s truck I mentioned before I thought it had been wrapped but after speaking with him I found out the color name and that’s during the time I was looking to buy a truck. And there were only a few in California they could even show me.

I love the color and the fact that it’s rare but it sure makes it hard to decide what I want to do with it when I can’t just google it and find some samples!  It’s even harder to find them in a 3/4 ton.

I see maybe on average 1-2 a week in Slate Gray.. I love the color, it had to grow on me but its a pretty cool color I think. I think they brought it sort of back for the 2019 models as santin steel looks really close to it. 

 

Any suggestions for my truck you guys have? 

 

Jake Post up some pictures first!

This is it after I added tow mirrors.  I hate it right now with these 17”s and pizza cutters!

This shows the color better and sorry if I am breaking any unwritten forum rules, I am obviously new on here!

Ok decided on the stock 18”s with 287/75r18 Toyo RT.  Super happy with how it turned out!

I know this thread is old but I wanted to add my truck as a contribution.  Not many Slate Grays out there.  Have any of you noticed that on many shopping sites it's not even listed as a color option?

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      By newdude · Posted

      That's bad.  Like, its probably destroying the stub axle the CV slides into.   Do you have a proper lift installed with differential lowering brackets?  Did you install AT4/Trail Boss factory CV axles?

      Hot? New Jersey? Today? I was working on my old 2000 Silverado 1500 today. Believe me, it was boiling hot today. As it has been.
