7 hours ago, Stand By said:

Curious if when any of you guys were accessing the roof by dropping the headliner, if you took the opportunity to see what was in or under the plastic spoiler over the back window? I'm curious as to how durable the thing is for possibly adding some LED's for back illumination, or some Amber's if I were to mount a plow later. Thinking of some smaller flush mount types. May also add marker lights to the front of the roof down the road as well, so would need to drop the liner anyway.

Monday the exhaust disappeared

Did the flowmaster 817933

It is quite aggressive just alittle less bite then no exhaust

FYI if u have built in fifth wheel package u will have to cut and weld the driver side to fit.

Left the tail pipes off for now not sure what I'm gonna do with them yet

this is a walkthru for rear seat removal 
if there is anything that may be missing or questions please pm me and I will modify my post
I haven't done it this way yet but it should work  and only take 10-15 mins to do
to start u need to pull all the head rest completely out (buttons on side of support) also there is a tilt button on the headrest itself 
e622e0a931a616716c109432eceedd10.jpg
next u will have to pull the headrest supports out 
to do this u will put a screwdriver in the slot as pictured below pull toward the front a bit and lift up on the support 
should slide out fairly easy

next fold the bench seat up and remove the 4 10 mm bolts against the back wall  (((blue stars)))
u will also have to remove the center seatbelt that is a T50 above the jack tools

fold the bench back down
then with a pick or wire u have to get behind the seat and pull up on the hood latch things (3 near child restraint brackets) (yellow lines in picture above)

u will then pull forward on the seat and it should fall off 
from this point I believe u can access anything u need 
I removed the bench first when I pulled mine but it should be easier to get to the 18 mm bolts that hold the bench in after removing the back
if u have heated rear seats be sure to unplug them on the driver side 
 
 

Thank you!! Your instructions helped tremendously.
Have all the room I need now to drill holes for my air lines [emoji1690]
Not having to remove the seat just the back is a huge plus.

Great work! I was volunteer fire in TN, moved to Florida and they don't have any slots here. I do miss it. Looks super clean!

So ziabart finally opened up and got me in for
Steps rhino coated
Ceramic
Rust proofing
Window treatment
Interior detailer
And with only 1400 miles the first parts are being replaced
e67d86a6142d13e9c7daa52e6e543e10.jpg

I was pretty pissed when they told me about it
They already had parts ordered and didn't call me first[emoji35]
So when I got there and saw the damage I asked how much of a discount I was getting...they said they can do something for me ...I settled for a full interior detail whenever I want it... they charge $200 for that service....
Still pissed it happened but makes it alittle easier to sleep since I can't put the first dent in it lmao

Sad! The first one always hurts the worst, glad it’s behind you now. Sorta, it’s not fixed yet

Call 911! 

J.K. Since they broke the cherry, you aughta tell them to expect to be paying for it for the next 18 years.

    • I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.     
    • Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.  
    • The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.  
    • Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.
    • I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
