Everyone always comments that it looks black as the sun sets.  I love the color and am glad that I passed over one of the red trucks that the dealership had.

I saw the Silver Satin thread and, thought why not?! At any rate, I love the NorthSky Blue color and I thought it would be a good thread to check out So, all you NorthSky Blue Silverado/Sier

New to the forum, coming from an F150 and having always owned Fords, this is my first chevy. Just picked up a new 2019 RST crew. 

 

Love the color, and the variation it has depending on lighting. Goes from very blue to almost black. Definitely a sharp color. Get a lot of compliments on it. Surprisingly I dont see many in this color in my area. Always white black or red.

Hell, I'm gonna get a set just like those for summertime. I had thought 20's, but those 22's are magnificent!

I'm really glad to hear they ride really smooth, because I still want the smooth ride the 18's give me. 

Smooth as in vibration free or smooth as in a nice ride over broken pavement and potholes? If it is the latter 22's aren't going to accomplish that at the same level 18's will, you want sidewall for that. 

 

A dark blue is one of my favorite colors and a top choice for my next truck. I like a little color if my green truck is any indication. Havana brown is another top choice. Is there a thread for that color to look at?

That's makes sense. Thank you.

Yeah, I went with NorthSky Blue and really love it. I also really like that Havana Brown and Silver Steel

These '22's are as smooth riding as can be.  I have a good feel for smoothness and vibration and honestly can't tell the difference in ride vs. the stock '18's. These Michelin '22's are the best riding '22's I've ever owned and I've owned many sets on many trucks.  Theory is, the more sidewall the better the ride. Not necessarily. There's all terrain tires with taller sidewalls that ride like crap. I've had '18's and '20's that didn't ride the best.  I've had Bridgestone '22's that were a little harsh. The '22's for '19 are a 50 series sidewall instead of the previous gen 2018 and earlier 45 series.  I'll recommend these wheels and Michelin tires to anyone.

Put in neutral step on gas little shake then put in gear and gose.  Shut truck off start .. ok now at stop light stop truck after a few seconds feel a little kick if that doesn’t happen stuck in 3/4 gear shut truck off wait few seconds and start usually ok again. If you down shift manually ok as long as you get into 1st before stop. If not it kicks . I WANT A NEW TRANSMISSION. Now I want a new truck it just hit 80,000 IDK IF ILL BUY CHEVY CAUSE THEY STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO RECALL . Oh I’ve changed the fluid and filter 3 times now. And yes used mobile 1 not ac/delco cause it’s not meeting the requirements that mobile is did use ac/delco filter

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.
