  Have a Silverado Custom 2500. Try out the seats ahead of time but can always add a pad or two if necessary. Love my truck. Only feature I thought I’d miss is Auto 4WD, but after driving it a few years, realize that it’s not necessary.

  The amplifier was replaced in February and still happens, still waiting to hear from the dealer that the replacement radio came in.

  I have been looking at ways to reduce the crud in the intake manifold and one way seems to be preventing the oil from entering the intake and mixing with the soot from the EGR. VSE seems to have a CCV kit that looks like it takes care of that. Add to that a FASS EGR Filter kit and the intake should be pretty clean. Any thoughts on either of these add ons?

  The wheels I want to put on are takeoffs. I bought them at the same time I bought my 2014 Silverado. I have come across a vendor that appears to sell replicas of these, but they still won't fit my 2026 without spacers from what I've been able to tell. Their fitment years for the wheel stop at '22 if I remember correctly.
