Traded in my 2019 Z71 LTZ 5.3 for this!  My 1500 really wasn't too happy towing my 8000# loaded 37' camper, lol.

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

I did the same as limelight. I bought a 2019 Sierra 1500 and was pulling a 33" travel trailer weighing about 7500lbs. The half ton wasn't handling well with that size trailer so i bought a 2500. My first HD...what a difference!b4cb92b955f91dca8d6d920c31290218.jpgbc7d23b12ee4d3ab19e0d5f896316be3.jpg

Very nice!

What did you notice most/ biggest difference?  I haven’t had a chance to tow my camper with my 2500 yet...

The most notable difference is overall ride and handling. With the soft suspension of the 1500, the truck felt floaty and i was gripping the steering wheel with both hands a lot of the time. Cross winds would constantly push and pull the truck around. The second biggest difference is the gas tank. 24 gallons at 8 to 9mpg does not get you very far. With 36 gallons, i feel like i drive forever. I was also maxed out on tongue weight, payload and RGAWR.

That's EXACTLY what I was hoping you would say- your experience mimics mine very closely.  I also felt a need for more power while merging and heading up grades.  Thanks for the reply, I can't wait for a test tow- hopefully next week!

Nice rides. Ditto on HD. I had a 2015 Sierra 1500 and upgraded to 2015 2500. Night and day.

Any one else’s front license plate not centered on their bumper or was my dealership just cross eyed. Just noticed it this morning. Wondering if there is a reason it offset to passenger side

dealer puts them on - so its probably just off

Well that’s wonderful. I haven’t looked yet but I’m assuming I have two holes in my front bumper that are off center. Pretty sad you can’t take a little more pride in your work

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.

Hi @cdh7917 - I see you have the color matched wheel arch moldings.  When you ordered that truck, did you have to order the mud flaps separately?  On my build, I was not able to order the mud flaps separately, so wondering if the black mudflaps are part of the color match molding order code.

 

Also - how did you black out the marker lights in the moldings?

 

Thanks.

I bought the GMC mudflaps from a GMC dealers on eBay, separately of the purchase of the truck.  I also bought my painted fender flares from a local Chevy dealer that I had already been ordering some other parts for me.  The front mudflap for the rear wheel also fits without any issue.

 

There is no problem using the GMC mudflaps with the painted flares.  The painted flares are an exact match in terms of mounting/fitment to the stock black flares.

 

The lights - I tinted with the below product from Amazon.  It's easy to work with, especially since you'll have the lights off with the old flares and can work on them off the truck.  You'll want to use a hair dryer too, as it helps the product stretch to form.

Thanks @cdh7917 - appreciate the response.

 

I put the painted flares on my factory order, so unfortunately I won't be able to get at the lights.  I still find it odd that they won't let you order the mud flaps when doing a factory order with painted flares.  I am glad to see that they can be added after though.

 

Thanks for your help.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
