Im not sure if it's right to put this all here or not.

 

Here are a few post from doing mods to my 2019.  First I did silver tailgate letters and removed the emblems, they come right off with fishing line and a blow dryer. Gm rear fender liners fit really nice and are worth the cash. Plus a set of plugs to go in the top of the bed rail to cover up the holes. Lastly a coat or Adam's ceramic coating on the wheels and every painted surface.

The readylift just didnt see like it was enough after seeing the 3-3.5 lifts. I purchased a stage 1 icon lift with the coilovers set at 3 inch and a rear 1.5 block with shocks. Plus I used a set of rough country control arms.20191214_121117.thumb.jpg.9e58abd32b354a0f9b308dc2eeed7f05.jpg20191215_113452.thumb.jpg.592e354d8fa48a889f6eba0af7d14338.jpg20191215_131919.thumb.jpg.ce284d290f3772f0c3cad20b0abccf84.jpg

I was going to do red tow hooks until I seen the d ring style that ami has out. I ordered these and were said to be bolt on. Well yea and no, take a decent amount of trimming and the 2nd hole drilled all the way thru. I put a grade 8 bolt thru that hole and the stock one on the front hole. I trimmed the foam and pushed it on to cover up the gap.  It worked out nice but with regular drings they are noisy.  I  uses daystar isolators to quiet them down.

Parts I dont have pics of are airaid jr replacement air intake tube with filter, range afm disabler and the gibson cat back. They were done two months ago, I'll try to get pics if needed. I did wheel spacers for the control arm to tire clearance and next gm rear mud guards. These new trucks have thin cheap paint..!!

Thankyou.... Honestly it rides good but firm, like stock without the bounce.  Rides more firm but handles alot better. Drives really good tho,  it soaks up the rough roads here pretty well and the roads suck here in pa.   But if your looking for soft and squishy this isn't what to buy.

We're the fog lights plug n play or is it factory lights with after market wiring and switches?

It's a gm kit, comes with a new dash switch. To me it was a pain in the ass to do. The fog lights them selves just bolt on where the covers are on the lower valance.  The wiring on the other hand you run a wire from the left side of the truck to the right, thru a grommet behind the glove box and out the firewall. Then open up the fuse panel and add the rest. Then it has to be dealer programmed to work.

The gm auto dimming mirror went easy, the plug was glued to the roof. Few torx screws and the jobs done. Mirror was plug n play and works perfect.

 

The mud flaps I used gm part # 84649174, larger rear mud flaps. These fit perfect and cover pretty well.

    • I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.  
    • Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.
    • Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.  
    • Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.
