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

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

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.

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!

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Atlas · Posted

      I only have a few of the ACDelco blue remaining. One or two of the (old, old) ACDelco Professional boxes, and a couple of the newer style GM boxes with the simulcast in Chinese along with English. FWIW they've all been pretty good, regardless of where they are made, and in 20 years I've never had a problem with an e-core filter.   Now I have a couple of the "A" series in my home inventory. They come in a plain white box with the GM hologram sticker and model information. Have not installed one yet, want to use up my oldest inventory first.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      I suspect at some point in the near future, the hardware will be free and you pay a subscription to access the vehicle - alldata style.

      BAK MX4 EZ-Lift Install and Review

      By parthery · Posted

      I've been eyeing an upgrade to my tonneau cover for a bit now.  Intrigued by the BAK MX4 EZ-Lift with the torsion spring and went for the upgrade.  Thoughts and musings during unpacking, install and a few days of usage.   Once my order went into Realtruck, it took about 4 days to ship.  Unfortunately, FedEx Ground destroyed the box and contents and it was unusable upon receipt.  To Realtruck's credit, one email with pictures and an RMA was sent to me to send the first one back, and another unit was shipped out.  It arrived 3 days later, unscathed.   I opened the box and it looked like every other BAK MX4.   Biggest differences are the rails and retaining clamps, and of course the spring attached to the cover itself.     NOTE - if you are upgrading from a MX4 to the EZ-Lift, you will have to replace the rails.  The EZ-Lift rails have a notch cut in them to allow the new style retaining clamps to fit properly.  The new retaining clamps also have 2 knobs/carriage bolts and there are two tracks underneath the front panel. The strap clips are mildly different (more like the Undercover Flex clamps) in that the screws go in from the underside.  Personally I prefer these over the BAK clamps that use the nutserts that are a nuisance to install.  The remainder of the parts in the box (drain tubes, rail clamps, and bumper pads) are standard issue BAK.     I did not replace my front bed seal at the time because it seemed to be in decent shape.   BAK recommends shims on the GM trucks unless you place the clamps on the flanges about 1/3 of the way in from both the front and rear of the bed.  I shimmed the front and the middle, and initially placed the clamps equidistant.  This also turned out to be a mistake, because when I set the cover in place, the new style retaining clamps wouldn't clear the front clamp.   New style clamp inserted in the track:     And the issue which occurred because the front rail clamp was too far forward:     Once I removed the shim from the front of the bed, and slid the clamp back to the front flange, everything cleared fine.     The cover set on the rails without issue and I installed the strap clamps.  After I completed my adjustments, I pulled the pin to activate the torsion spring.  Mistake #3 on my part.  PULL THE PIN AS THE VERY VERY VERY LAST STEP!  The reason is, once you pull the pin, the torsion spring is activated.  If you have to loosen the front clamps and adjust the cover, the front panel will - by virtue of the spring, refuse to lay down.  The only way to get it to lay down so you can reinstall and tighten the clamps is to fully open the panel against the back of the cab, which will then allow the front panel of the cover to lay down and be tightened.  Not a big deal unless you haven't installed the foam pads yet (typically the last step) because minus the foam pads, you will need to place something between the frame of the cover and the back window so it doesn't get scratched.  The next time I install one I will install the foam pads before I pull the pin and activate the spring.   After using it for a few days:   The spring assist is great.  You literally can open it with one hand.  My shoulders aren't getting any younger and this was part of my motivation to swap out. The second panel latches and unlatches itself as you open and close the cover.  Neat in concept, however it took me a minute to get used to closing the cover and not hearing the "latching" sound that would tell me it was locked in place. The paddle handles are a huge upgrade and I wouldn't be surprised to see them become the standard across the Realtruck line.  They effectively eliminate the concern that a thief could coat hanger the cover open and get to the contents in the bed. I'm not sure why the very front panel on my cover has a different finish from the other 3 panels.  I have a request into Realtruck to find out if mine was not manufactured properly or if it was by design.   All in all I'm pleased.  Same level of protection, looks good, keeps stuff mostly dry (they all leak around the tailgate) and easy to install.
