How did you get the badging darker? Also, side mirrors, how did you get the dark inserts?

The duramax badge and mirror lights are tinted.

Great looking truck! I working on the same tool box set up as you do. I’m having an issue with the weather guard box. There is about a 1/4” gap between the back of the box and the bed. Dis you have the same issue? And how did you address it?

Thanks!! I do have that problem and haven’t addressed it yet. I’m hoping to find some weatherstripping that will work.

Thanks for the reply. I just ordered some weatherstripping off of Amazon and I’ll see how that works out. I’ll update you with what I used if it solves the issue. Here’s a pic of my truck so far. Still waiting on the bed cover and frosted fender lights, but installed the tool box and console safe already. 02098572dbba45ff46ee3bf33fcebbd1.jpg

So here’s what I did. I used the z shaped weatherstripping on the underside of the gap in the tool box. I then put the tailgate seal along the top rail of the bed, so that the lip over hangs the edge. When you install the tool box make sure the z strip overlaps over the tailgate seal. I haven’t tested it yet, but in theory it should keep most of the water out. d487c765b1b0344004da6e9e0c77184c.png45320de9ec59738919bf0192adf4d3c5.pngce567a83fec3407c35c52c258e4a2833.jpgc9809f103bec0d4fded0733b661de6dc.jpg9056abd38fee5cee3952da0779e18674.jpg

So far, I’ve done the 6.5” BDS lift. JTX Forged 26x12 Grip wheels, AMP 37x13.50r26 tires, color matched the GMC logos, debadged all the sides and the tailgate. I have a Retrax Pro XR on the way for the back. Bulletproof 12” drop hitch.

^ Looks good.

 

Now all that’s left is color matching those bed steps, tint or frosted molding lights, and matching front tint.  Then it will be as clean as they come.

I’m going to do tint after we move back to Texas in a couple months. They allow darker tint. The rest is all in the works. GM needs to correct a paint issue and then I’m going to do all the other color matching and put on some AMP steps.

I did my own exhaust set up with a 4” to 5” Flopro vented bend pipe and a plain and simple clean 5” to 6” stainless tip from amazon. Cost me about $200 Canadian.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
