Well, according to my dealer - “sometimes the parts get shipped separately”, but at least he is now onboard that they are not going to be painting the stock black ones.  Phew.

What a crock!  If the dealer says they'll paint them, I'd find a different dealer.  They come pre-painted. They are GM part 84237183 (for white).

I am going to talk to him tomorrow.  My understanding is that "LPO" means the parts are sent to the dealer for them to install.  Hopefully he's mistaken.

Use painters tape to mask off any areas that you don't want to come into contact with wax.  It only takes a few moments and it will make the job easier in the long run.

I didn't get to keep my stock ones. They told me the price I paid ($660) was for the upgraded color matched ones and included them getting the black ones back.

You should get to keep the stock black arch moldings. I know I found the Summit White online for $500 (+/-) with free freight from several GM dealers.

when a vehicle is ordered with dealer installed options, those parts are shipped from a company that services the gm dealers in the area. once vehicle is labeled as shipped ,those parts for that vehicle are then shipped from the warehouse to the destination dealer for that dealer to install. sometimes the vehicle does get there before the parts but most of the time the dealer sits on them vehicle arrives. as far as the old parts coming off if the customer wants them they can have them as dealer is not charged or paying for them in any way. most of the time customer doesn't want anything to do with them and I don't want parts in mislabeled boxes that I didn't buy from gm in my inventory.

as far as color matching and coming from the supplier already painted, any good bodyshop should be able to paint them and make sure paint doesn't come off unless something hard hits molding.

I haven’t been able to find them (in stock) anywhere in summit white.  Just canceled my third order.  They assured me they had them in stock, so I placed the order.  Get an email 2 days later saying they are back ordered.  The person tells me that email was automated that verified stock, it obviously wasn’t.

I removed and prepped my 06' flares on my own and had a body shop spray them.  It was years ago, but seemed like I removed the mold release with Comet and Mineral Spirits. I know I wet sanded them with fine grit paper until they were smooth but had a minor profile for the paint to adhere.  The guy at the body shop gave me exact instructions.  He sprayed them for $150 including material.  Not sure if I have the ambition now days but $660 seems steep!

      I love my truck but

      Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I do like it. I wonder if they'll bring back Smokey Quartz Metallic? 🤔 https://gmauthority.com/blog/2026/06/here-is-the-all-new-2027-gmc-sierra-1500/

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.
