Looks great! Thank you for choosing XPEL! To show our thanks, we would like to send you an XPEL Swag Pack. If you're interested, email us at [email protected] with your t-shirt size, name, and shipping information. **This offer stands for anyone on this thread who has XPEL on their truck.**

Any chance you are allowed to send a care package north of the border?

I can't say enough good things about Xpel. Had it installed on my 2016 AT (wish I'd done it on my 2014 AT) and have it on my 2019 AT4 and my wifes Rubicon. On the 2016 which was black it held up well for me for nearly 3 years in the Texas sun. Like others have said, worth every penny.

Has anyone else XPEL'D their trucks yet?

I have not.. and don't plan on doing so.  When I first saw this topic I was surprised people were Xpel'ing their trucks.  On my Grand Sport .. yes... but on a truck?

 

After thinking about this for a bit, and considering the prices trucks these days, I can see why guys are doing it. 

 

I still won't put it on my truck,  but Xpel is a great product and those that choose to go this route will be happy with the results.

My truck is way more likely to need paint protection than my sports car. I mean so long as you use your truck for truck things.

 

That and I think sticker on my AT4 was higher than most of the stingrays in the showroom haha.

Makes sense when you put it that way.....and yes, it's hard to believe a loaded Denali stickers for more than I paid for my grand sport...

I put the Ceramic Boost they sent me on my truck over the weekend.  Easy application and it looks great so far.

I have a black truck already have scratches showing tiny ones before I picked it up. Just got it week ago. Will Ceramic coat will be enough? Or PPF. I’m in a . Hot area and I got to a lot of dusty area cosntantly

If you don't like scratches or swirl marks then PPF is the only way to go. Ceramic coatings will NOT stop scratches or rock chips. Congrats on the new truck by the way!

Thanks loving it. Ceramic will indeed reduce it and increase the gloss though correct? Or not worth having ceramic coating? I was quoted $1200 5 year for opti coat

I did this on my 17 and it was perfect when I traded it in. I’m doing the same on my 2020

I put expel on my 2019 a couple days after I drove off the lot. Always had great results from Expel. In my opinion it’s the best coating in the market. I had it on my 2017 Silverado Denali and when I traded it for my 2019 it still looked brand new and we get a lot of rock chips in west Texas!  I installed door handle guards, door edge, fenders, and grille on my latest.

Just a follow up i finally had the XPEL installed on my truck last week and it looks awesome! They put the new XPEL Ultimate Plus on, and it is a great film!

 

I topped mine up with a ceramic coat over the whole truck as well. Expensive but so worth it in the long run to keep the truck looking factory fresh with minimal effort from me!

      If you suspect an engine swap or similar modification to the front accessory drive...   Maybe try spending some time plugging in different make/models/years that utilized the same engine (prime donor vehicles or swap candidates), vans, full-size cars (Impala, Roadmaster), 4x4 trucks to get a collection of pump and brackets that are similar along with their associated part numbers; take that collection of part numbers to the parts store to compare.   Another Okie.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      There are knowns and unknowns.   Knowns:   - LT, RST and LTZ names/trims are gone.  The new "Silverado" trim level replaces all 3 of those.  You should be able to configure the Silverado trim to match the equipment levels of those three trims.    Unknowns:    - Custom.  No mention of what engines it will have access to.  Dual exhaust being standard does seem to confirm a V8 option for the Custom trim though.  My "guess" is that Custom will have access to the Turbomax and the 5.7.  I could be wrong though.  The current Custom trim went 2.7 Turbomax only the last 4-5 years, and only had a single side exit exhaust.     - 40-20-40.  I would imagine that is NOT going away.  They only focused on showing the new interior on the top trims, Trail Boss, ZR2 and High Country, hence the images shown are just bucket trucks up front.         The info should start coming fairly quickly over the next weeks and months.  Production is supposed to start up later this year, so when the order guide launches, you'll be able to see the configurations of engines, cabs, seating, etc.

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      I don’t do offloading other than a dirt road literally for me it’s more about the look which I really appreciate a nice looking truck and I like sitting a higher and not just because I’m 5 foot seven lol..  I’m also not compensating for anything lol..  but I truly think it’s safer on the road the higher you sit you have better visibility generally speaking especially a few of your Sideview mirrors adjusted correctly. They do make a programmer rough country does they’re $1000 for these new 2500s but when I do a gear swap that would be a moot point. A lot of the shops that I go to in my area they’re all saying the same thing that Yukon Detroit axle Eaton Spicer Richmond they don’t have gear shot for these trucks which surprises me because hasn’t this body style been out since 2020? I’m hoping soon they have something because yeah I’ll have to spend the 3K to get both axles done. Thank you for all of your response responses. I apologize if there’s any grammatical error errors as I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone without proofreading

      I guess I don’t look at it as extreme I had 11 inches on a 1500 ram with 38 I had a 4 inch on a OBSF350 with 37 I had a 4 inch on an OBSF 250 with 35 and I’m not really into off-road I just appreciate good-looking vehicles this truck will never be offloaded other than maybe a dirt road    I mean the factory is even putting 37 on Broncos etc. Raptors they know what people want

      OCI, not when but why?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Topic: OCI, not when but why? Have you considered that just because there is limited documentation on GM's programming of the OLM system that it is not a sign of it's simplicity but a protection of intellectual property? We both agree the system's published parameters are too limited to present an accurate picture of oil quality.   I am not discussing my oil change routines in this comment, I am discussing the parameters of the GM OLM; a key component of "OCI" when and why.   You know what I find interesting? GM trucks, discussing things relevant to those trucks.   If free conversations are not allowed in threads you start I suggest having a discussion with a moderator to have them grant you authority to police and suppress the free exchange of thoughts on your topics accordingly.   Alternatively, if you only want to talk about oil without distractions I suggest bobistheoilguy.com or starting your own blog.   Carry on your discussion of "Engine Wear and ISO 4406"
