This coming Tuesday will be 2 weeks that I've had this truck and I'm loving it so far.

 

I ordered an LT center console last Friday and it came in this Friday. It's nice having that storage back now. Not gonna lie the install was a bitch. Took me about 3 hours but I got it done and I didn't even brake the side pieces you have to take off. I did replace the clips though as I had ordered 5 in preparation. Im very happy with the outcome.

 

After that I got the rear wheel well liners installed. They were more challenging than I anticipated but turned out great.

 

I then put the front and rear set of mud flaps on.

I also replacement the LED license plate lights, installed gloss black Chevrolet letters on the tailgate and Atomic Bear magnet install for my pistola!

 

I've already done the LED headlights conversion and reverse light LED conversion.

 

Future mods will be fog lights, side steps (Tyger Auto ordered), Marathon seat covers (ordered), black Silverado and Custom badging on tailgate, paint fake exhaust tips black, Decked bed storage and camper topper. I'm just trying to figure out which topper I want.fdf61afa1ea7fa0346bb7f45b6d9d66b.jpg4c269f4dd59986ca6a56c431db34cddc.jpgcdb702e39dd71f572ee2a38eaf5aaa4d.jpg55c21013d7b2b8664685f74f92b5dec9.jpg4ccbc5a716cc6bab8c226d062669774e.jpg8e40902928e9f52496db85c3cfed1985.jpge5ccb2d9569b467d27a1ba83c8f98efa.jpg5aa8a33cea15cb4443b7faf4b0e1ae9a.jpg85bb13d336f94baf59e2eede14c68d41.jpg

I also painted the front and rear calipers red and the upper control armd black to stop that oxidation. d788b60372aa7a7e41c2c539715940f0.jpgbf5e5c4a61e0094924be467b6f752aa3.jpg993527f8adcdf4d75dff333c0a356b64.jpg08a5963c2b4a8162c4d3916c37523fbd.jpgc64dffe479d0295d3ad89798e59201a0.jpg74740bb441ac1cdb052386748eb4e9d3.jpgf81e02beb63d9343cf5f4a793de2e201.jpg3cca1bb43a27a85952cecc1851ed3947.jpgd4498a8d6016d0aa824f500e068c89a7.jpg

Thank you.

Yes it's fun making a truck yours when you first get it.

I also like that it's a Custom because it really is just that.

Looks great! I would love to add that center console seat into mine too. I got the WT and it comes with zero storage or bins, it’s crazy.

Thanks guys. I'm loving it.
Still have to get the Decked bed storage system and Marathon seat covers installed when they come in.
Going to change front turn/parking bulbs to LED. Those are the only incondecent bulbs left on the truck as of now.
Still undecided on camper topper.
I'm thinking either A.R.E CX or MX series with side windoors.

How does it mount in there and is it pretty sturdy once it’s mounted?
It just sits there. I had to modify the bottom of the front half by trimming the plastic to get it to fit up under the dash because I have the door to door floor mats that go over the center hump.
If you don't have those mats it fits without modification.
It's sturdy. Hasn't move on me even with top heavy drinks. I think its due in part because about 3 inches of the front half is wedged up under the dash.
I like it. Well worth the buy.

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      No I didn’t watch a video of a person who analyzes oil for a living explain general oil usage. For clarity I did ask my brothers one who runs our equipment business. The other who runs our old ROW business about oil usage. Nothing has changed since I retired. Their personal vehicles or work vehicles use no oil. Not enough to see on the oil checking device. Then I pondered. I like to ponder. In this extended oil changing world with oil change countdowns or lights. If engines used say a qt every 2500 miles or up to even 4000 miles. With oil changes reaching as high as 15000 miles. Normal for most people is eight to ten. Vehicles should potentially be seizing up all over the place. Especially in hilly terrain. Just how many people actually check their oil? Maybe 10 percent. Those are the people that probably change their oil early. I like to research used car listings. I have five favorite dealers I check. They all list carfax with their listing. It’s rare to see vehicles with anything but extended oil changes. Transmission service, forget about it. I’ve seen Honda and Toyota certified vehicles up to 100K miles and ten years old. With nothing but normal maintenance. Isn’t nice we all have different experiences and believe our way is the best. You certainly get backup for whatever you believe. Life would be boring otherwise.

      RUMOR / INSIDER: 2027 Silverado Dealer Reveal NEXT WEEK

      By RobbertClaus · Posted

      Interesting rumor. Dealers near me have been tight-lipped so far, but if this reveal actually happens next week, I'm really hoping they finally give the HD a proper interior overhaul. The competition has been eating their lunch in the cabin department for a while now.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well.   I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing.

      Oil Consumption

      By Atlas · Posted

      Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption.   Shut up and watch:
