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 wit

My truck was leveled out at about 1.5”. It actually sits 1/4” higher in the front right now, so I’m due back at the shop on Monday for a re-torque, final measurements, and any other needed adjustments. I actually stopped by the dealership yesterday & got a copy of the recommended alignment specs for my specific vehicle. I was curious to see how it differed from alignment after the kit was installed. So there are some slight discrepancies in caster and toe. The steering kind of settled in over the last day, but I feel like the steering is stiffer than what it used to be, prior to the install. 
 

Anyway here are some pics of how it came out. It’s sitting on a decline and looks good. It’s only when I park it on a bit of an incline Does it begin to look nose high & so I begin to wonder if I should have them bring it down to 1” of lift in the front. It’s weird with the GMCs because of the way the wheel well is designed and the aggressive grill, with the slightest lift It looks nose high.

After about 1k miles and hearing other people's reviews on these icons I figured I'd call them. My truck rides too firm for my liking but drives really well. I was told the non reservoir have spacers inside to limit travel. It would need to be removed. So instead I turned all the preload off the coilover and put a moto fab 1/2 inch spacer under it. That pushes the shaft up off of the internal spacer giving more room. So far so good, still at 3 inch lift and rides smoother.

Jtlans- what tint did you go with on your windows? Getting mine done soon, yours looks good.

I am uncertain. I just took it to a local tint shop and just told them to match it to the rear. I would guess that it's 15 or 18%.

The led fancier truck style headlights with the drl have grown on me. So I'm going to do a change to the front end, I bought a set of led headlights, black grill and a wiring harness. Hopefully I can do this in about a week or so.

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      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." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.
