3000mi on it now, 1300 towing our 17k 5er.
10spd tows like a champ, works very well loaded or not
9.9mpg towing
15ish city driving
17ish rural driving
19.5 running 75mph
finally had some time now that we're on vacation to personalize it.
window tint done
blacked out the chrome emblems
tinted the fender markers
And smile every time i get behind the wheel

Is yours the 2500 or 3500? What’s the hitch weight of your rig? How’s it towing?

I’m considering selling my 35’ bumper pull TT and going to a 35-39’ 5er toy hauler (my TT is only a year old so may wait a year to get more use and justify the loss on it).

Had the truck detailed, paint decontaminated, buffed, polished and ceramic coated. A crew worked on it for 3 days. Paint is looking flawless! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tows great, 10spd know exactly what gear to be in.

Pin weight between 2900-3200# depending how I have it loaded.

Truck is a 3500, i believe it rides better than our '18 Denali 2500 did

Thanks for sharing. My AT4 2500 rides better than my 2014 GMC Sierra; however, I had a 6” lift, tow spring and 35” Toyo RTs so it’s hard to compare when I messed with it so much!

 

I’ve got just over 3k payload. Looking at rigs around 2-2.5k pin weight.

Updated pics with new XD’s.  Truck is completely stock including the torsion bars.  Wheels are 20x9 +18.  Tires are Nitto G2’s 285/65/20.  Tried 295’s but they rubbed pretty good while turning.  The 285’s are a touch bigger than stock and just barely touch at full lock while reversing, hardly worth mentioning.

Did any pre HD Silverado owners go for the GM or stay with the Silverado? I'm on the fence with this new Silverado front end. My trim level would be a High Country or a Denali if I bought GM.

I had a 2017 Silverado HD Z71 Midnight. I now have an AT4 HD. I have always owned a Chevy and feel kind of weird in a GMC.. but the Chevy front end left me on the fence. Some angles I loved it, some I didn’t. The GMC looks great from every angle and was the “safe” choice. I also figured it may do better with resale. But I am loving the chevys more and more every time I see them. And I knew that would happen. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my truck. The AT4 is one of the nicest packages I’ve seen in an HD.. but I wish it had a bowtie on it. Waiting for a Midnight/Trail Boss Silverado I guess..

Some new pictures of my 2500 AT4 HD, taken this evening.  The Dark Sky Metallic is such a beautiful color.


These are after a complete wash.  All Adam's Polishes products, and I can't say enough good things about their stuff.


Anyway, some subtle changes - full debadging (minus GMC badges), Red tow hooks powered black, Amp Research Powersteps, Retrax tonneau.

Clean, simple. Truck is solid. Waiting for Cognito leveling kit to come out before I roll 35's.

Fresh detail on the truck and trailer. Did a 300+ mile trip yesterday with a 7k foot elevation gain. There’s a 10 mile stretch where 3k of that happens on a 6% grade. Truck stayed at 2k RPMs and 60 MPH (I didn’t notice any gear changing with the 10 speed). Transmission fluid only heated up a few degrees even with AC on. Night and day difference over my 1500. Trailer is just over 8k lbs.

I swear that it changes colors every day! some times it's grey, blue, black, even green.

 

I am glad I went with this color.

 

Where did you get the blacked out badges?

My 2018 Dark Slate was the same way!  The Dark Sky is really awesome in the same way.

 

As for the badges, I searched eBay for the GMC part number and found them for about $130 I think.  The front's are super easy to put on, especially if you don't care about the old red ones.  Basically, using two flat blade screwdrivers, you pry out the red insert from the chrome trim.  The red part will break at the plastic welds, and once it's all removed, you can pop each tab off of the chrome frame by inserting it through the now-exposed front.  The new emblems just pop on in their place.

 

The rear are a little more challenging, but still easy.  I used dental floss to saw behind the emblems and then a heat gun or hair dryer to help loosen the remaining adhesive.  Ronsonol lighter fluid will remove all left behind residue. 

 

I used blue tape to mark the exact location of the top and bottom of the stock emblems.  Then I taped off the outside edges of the G and C.  Remove each of those, then tape each side of the M.  Then remove it, clean the area, and install the M first.  Remove the tape from each side of the M, then do the G and C. 

 

This picture shows it a little better:

Nano Ceramic coating complete

How much did that cost you? I get mine back today. Had a guy go through and take all the defects out of the paint and ceramic coat it with crystal serum ultra. It was $350 more to use this crystal serum ultra over his own ceramic coating; however, he warranties the coating for 8 years. They’ve spent 3 days working on the truck for $1400.

      Needing this part.

      By davester · Posted

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.

      I have an unused GM Authorization code.

      By davester · Posted

      It would be sold as a "kit", lights + auth/programming code.   You can resell the code to someone else, if they just buy the lights, either new or used, and they can then use the code to get them to work on their truck.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      Apologies in advance, this is a long post, there's a lot to explain.   A friend had a 2010 Avalanche with a 5.3 (LMG) that blew the head gaskets (amount other problems). He gave me a donor motor out of a 2007 suburban (LC9). I got it all installed, and everything hooked up. Went to go start it, and it stumbled a bit at first and died a couple times, but after trying a few times it sounded like it was running very well. Went out to go get some coolant, and came back the next day.    Upon trying to start it, the truck will crank and fire normally and the RPMs will raise to around 1,200 or 1,500, sounding great, and then the RPMs will decrease and it will just die. Repeat that a dozen or two dozen times, and eventually it will fire and idle beautifully. As soon as you touch the throttle, it will start misfiring and sound like absolute trash. When you let off the throttle it will come down and hunt around shaking and misfiring like crazy. A message will come up on the dash saying reduced engine power.    It is throwing codes for a map sensor circuit voltage High, as well as MAF sensor low frequency. With key on engine off, the map sensor reads about 4.8 volts on the vout pin, which the PCM interprets as about 17.8 PSI, contrasted to the barometer which my scan tool tells me reads about 13.5 PSI. However, once the engine starts and is idling this reading drops to about 5-6 PSI at a stable idle, and varies significantly when the engine is misfiring/ hunting like I said before. I should note that I used the intake and MAP sensor from the LC9 engine. I changed the connector on the 2010 harness to The 2007 connector. The pinouts for the sensors were printed right on the top, and I triple-checked that I put the correct wire into the correct place.   On the other hand, the MAF sensor reads consistently 0.0 g/s regardless of State. I have pulled my hair out trying to figure out this last detail. I have tried three different sensors, (all of which should be good, one of which was new), I have verified all the wiring from the sensor going back to the PCM, and have verified that the readings at the PCM are the same readings as at the sensor itself. The intake air temperature sensor is also functioning as normal. I verified all the voltages and grounds etc, and everything is as it should be. I don't have an oscilloscope to verify, but I probed with my multimeter (Klein mm720) on frequency Mode, and it reads that on initial cranking, the maf is producing between 3000 and 7000 HZ, and as soon as the engine fires that falls off to below, 1000, and if the engine continues to run, it will produce somewhat erratic readings between 5 and 100-200 HZ. It does increase notably when the engine is revved despite the misfirings. As I said before, I have verified all of the wires going to the PCM, and I have tried multiple known good sensors. I've tested all the pins and voltages from the sensor and verified them against the manual that they are what they should be. I tested all the wiring for both ohms and voltage drop, and everything tested fine. Like I said I tested at the sensor as well as right at the PCM, everything checked out.   The only other thing of note at least I think is the fact that the engine originally in the truck had VVT, but the engine I put in, the lc9, does not have VVT. I modified the cam sensor plug to work. I reference the wiring diagrams and double-checked that I modified the harness correctly to adapt it. There is obviously a code for the VVT solenoid, but I don't think that's the cause of my problems, and this friend will probably have the PCM sent off to tune out the codes at some point.   I'm writing this for my bed so I don't recall the exact codes, but I'll update the post tomorrow morning with the exact codes. And ideas or feedback much appreciated.

      It's possible the two trucks are using different body control modules which is why yours works and the OP's doesn't.   So much in these newer vehicles depends on model/trim configurations, production date. They don't all use the same modules like back in the day.
