Here it is in the bright sunlight from the other side. Crazy how the color changes with this truck. Almost looks black in certain light. cbb4b047e85bd9a229d588c2c0d167c3.jpg

Pacific blue Denali. Was never found of all the chrome so I color matched the grille surround, hood nose and door handles. I swapped out the window trim and tow hook surround with black. So much better for me. Also cranked up the front a little and put on BFG 296 65 r20f880bbc6566b312112f23853493ddadc.jpg

Looks great!! I’m not a fan of chrome either and the High Country’s have just a tad more chrome than I prefer. I’d want to do something similar to what you did.

I think what you did is perfect, now it’s just the right amount for some good contrast.

Thank you. A little bit of work that I enjoy doing.

How did you change the chrome on the mirrors?

Very easy actually. Start with the vertical one from the bottom. Just pry out from the corner. Pull down as there's a tab under the top section. Then do the same with the top horizonal piece. Make sure you use plastic pry tools. They go in the reverse order.

Let me rephrase the question.  Where did you get the black plastic to replace the chrome?  For that matter where did you get all the black that you used to replace all the chrome Ie: door handles, grill, air intake surround, etc.

I get it at my local dealer. Very competitive pricing. The handles were primed and I bought the whole at4 grill because the surround was black along with the hood nose. Chrome doesn't take paint well... I just swapped the at4 grille surround to the Denali grill. Need to sell the at4 grille now.

 

In that pic, the grille surround looks black but it's indeed color matched.

Did you just crank the keys to raise the front? And do the tires rub at all? Thanks

I cranked the key bolts 5 turns. Brought it up 1". So, theres less than 1" rake now. Before there was almost almost 2" of rake. The tires do not rub at all even when it wasn't lifted up in the front. For reference, these tires measure just over 35" and are just about 12" wide. I think any wider, they would rub at full lock.

You can go with 35x12.50 on a stock truck with stock wheels and have no rubbing. 

 

To answer the question a few posts up, your dealer is wrong.  Wheels are 8x180 and have been since 2011.

8x180 since 2011.  2010 and prior used to be 8X6.5".

Just took delivery Saturday of my 3500 AT4. I was actually working on the Silverado, between a High Country in a color I didn't really want (brown) and a non-high country also in white, which oddly had a white interior roof panel which I really didn't like either. The dealer pulled some crap about my old truck, so I left, thought about it overnight, and went to the GMC dealer on Saturday morning for this truck. It had literally every option I was looking for (dual alternators, trailer tire monitoring, trailer wiring provisions, upfitter switches, sunroof, head-up,  of course the AT4!) so I worked for a while and got a good enough deal. The Denali would have been less, but I wanted the AT4, so I did it.

 

Color wise, both the blacks are fantastic, but we offroad a lot when we're not towing, and I thought it would never look clean. I had a vehicle in the early 80s that was near the same bluish color as the Grey Metallic, so I didn't want to repeat that. The dealer had a red one in stock, and I actually went to buy that one, but I liked the white better in person. The dark blue is fantastic and so is the medium grey, but I couldn't find either with the options I wanted near Denver. Plus I already have two other vehicles that are silver and dark silver, so I guess this one completes the fleet.

 

So far I just love it. So far meaning about 100 miles :)

 

I've got to get my camper installed this weekend, which means finding the Trailer Wiring Provisions under the bed, drilling a hole and mounting the socket. I also have to remove the tailgate, and I'm planning on retaining the cameras and the puddle light and moving them to the back of my camper. Bonus points if I can find a way to move the roof-mounted rear camera for the mirror and put it on my camper - if not I'll just buy the trailer camera and put it up there.

 

Backgrounder, I have had Chevy's all my life, and traded my 07.5 silverado 2500 LMM in for an F250 Superduty in the fall of 2017. Long story short, it was a really nice truck, but death by 1000 papercuts. Cooled seats coming on at 30 degrees outside sorta stuff. Horrible turbo lag... 

 

Anyway thanks for the forum I have some reading to do!

    • Thanks for response. Leak was right under drivers seat or thereabout.   Had checked by other mechanics and have read other information.   The solution can be a tad complicated and replacing multiple parts And with some.  The issue was still the same.   The brakes do work.   Just that the pedal is softer and goes further down.  But the brakes do work. 
    • Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive  
    • Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens? 
    • I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?
    • Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
