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

Picked up my 2500 AT4 HD last night.  Dark Sky Metallic.  Unfortunately, the running boards weren't with the truck when it was delivered.  Goes back Friday morning to have those installed along with t

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!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving.

      Oil Consumption

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      1/2 qt over full ain`t gonna hurt $h!t. Most times, a whole qt won`t either. Most have windage trays now. As long as the crank isn`t slapping itself in the oil, it`s not the end of the world.   We used to overfill 1 qt at the track, at race time. Better to have it over full than having the pan sucked dry at 6500 rpm`s.
