How has the tint held up for you all?  Just finding this and thinking about it, and curious on the long term since most of you have had it done for a year or so now.

No issues, been over a year since i put it on.

Kyle- I was thinking of doing the same, did you try to tint them yet? If so, what did you use? I saw this on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GQRQ996/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=U

archie64ss  "No. You will have to wait for the aftermarket to make fender flares without the lights."  Can't you just get 1500 arch molding and replace it to go with out?    I am thinking of adding smoked turn signals to mine, as such want to install 2500 arch moldings.

Do you guys know how to get rid of the amber parking signal light on the headlight? I swapped out the orange reflectors with klearz I just want the orange light gone.
 

or maybe locate the wire and yank it out.

What I have found about the roof marker lights, is that they aren't normally on the trucks with California emissions. I don't quite get the relation, but a quick search of trucks on lots on Cali vs other states pretty much proves it. Can a buyer order a GMC with the California emissions, but it's actually going to a dealer in another state?

There is a law or regulation in CA prohibiting light arrangements that look like an emergency vehicle if you are not such a vehicle. Someone made a determination that roof marker lights on pickups violate that rule. So all pickups sold new in CA don’t have roof marker lights. 
 

However, this mandatory delete option is not associated with the CA emissions configuration. I live in WA and new cars and trucks here are required to meet CA emissions but they have the marker lights.

Interesting. Thanks for the information about that. That makes some sense, if anything from CA can possibly make sense! LOL! I've since purchased a GMC with all the lights. Actually got used to them before the purchase, as they nor the fender lights are as bad in person as they initially appeared. Given the choice, however, I'd skip both if I could. Some people like them, especially the roof markers. I'm more of a take or leave it regarding the. Looks good at night, I will say. The best part is they are black with orange LED, versus those huge orange blobs of trucks from previous years.

 

Hope you are enjoying your new truck.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
