Nothing is staying chrome! just a ton of parts once everything is disassembled. A far as the mirrors i would paint it all. Once you get them taken apart you'll notice they actually move out, slide, then retract back in. The bed steps come off without removal of anything else. Pop the pad off and you have 3 torx up top, couple under the pad, and a couple on the backside.

^ Appreciate it.

 

so the step pad: you just used a plastic trim tool to get between the lip to unclip it?  I started on one, but got stuck (which is when I thought the bumper needed to come off).  Maybe the step pad still being attached is why it was so tight.

Looks good.  Where did you find the grill?

Had the 4 corner steps line-x’d in white (did that on my ‘18 and held up the two years I had it).  Paint looks better but my truck is used for work and I worry about the paint holding up, even with the step pad being left factory.  Also had the 6 lower mud flaps line-x’d in black for when I get the summit white fender molding (think it will look better than the factory black and not show dirt as bad).

Thanks.  Like I said, I do prefer the look of paint, but just not an option for this truck that’s used for work.  Paint may hold up, but I’d imagine if it gets kicked / scuffed enough with boots, it will wear.

After a long backorder, I got my color matched fender flairs delivered and installed. They look really good IMO. I may smoke those side markers out eventually, but going to keep them for now.

where did you get those seatcovers and do they make them for the front as well?

Got the Katzkins installed.  After having black leather in the last 5 trucks, I wanted something different, that wasn’t plain and so factory looking.  Was a bold move, but I’m very happy with the outcome.

    • I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY
    • I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.
    • Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.  
    • The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.  
    • Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
