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.

    • Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable. 
    • I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle. 
    • I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure. 
    • Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.
    • Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."

But you and I? We are not doing this.
