I did a search on here as much as I could and read through Sotally Tober's build and now was wondering if many have swapped out the lower front bumper off of an High Country onto an RST?  My main reason I want to do it is for the same reason Sotally Tober did his, I want to paint it white and completely change the look of the front of the truck, it looks killer!  Just asking if anyone has any real good details on how it difficult it is to do or of there is an easier way to get that lower bumper trim onto an RST front bumper.  Thank you!

Make sure you get PPF put on ASAP and you will be golden.  Wish I could elaborate on the installation, as I had Black Jack Speed shop here in San Antonio do the install.

I'll have to do some more digging.  I was hoping to just be able to buy the PN:84176756 (Skid Plate they call it) and mount it to the existing bumper but not sure if that will work or not.  Might be worth just spending the $105 to find out!

Unfortunately, it wont.  You need to buy both pieces of the lower bumper off a High Country.  The shop purchased directly from our local dealership parts department after getting the VIN off of a High Country (to look up the parts) on the lot.

That's kind of what I figured would need to happen.  I absolutely love the look of your rig but if I'm going to end up with $500-750 into that lower bumper, I might just wait to get a high country or LTZ next go around!   Thank you!

Thanks.  It was about $700.00 when everything was said and done.  Totally worth it in my opinion as it changes the entire front look of the truck.

Do you have the part numbers to make this happen ?

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
