I would like to paint my exhaust tips black and have been reading up on this.  At this time I don't really want to get into taking exhaust tips off.  Do you think high temp grill paint or engine paint would work?

Sanded with 220 and painted them up. I like the satin black.

High temp paint should work but since they are chrome, you need a primer that works on chrome.

 

Otherwise the paint will peal from the chrome. But you can always repaint as needed.

 

Taking them off is easy. I replaced mine with powder coated ones.

 

Looks so much better black.

 

Good luck with painting.

They aren’t hard to remove. I had my 10 yr old son do most of the work. We used it as a “life skills” class for eLearning [emoji23] either way the black looks better than chrome. Imm no purchased powder coated ones

That 1LE tricked me. Still love the car though. If you're not driving it sideways you're driving it wrong.

With these Goodyear super car 3s it’s tough to get it sideways it drives so nice and is planted to the road even with everything turned off

I've been doing some digging on black exhaust cutouts in the rear bumper. I ran into a dead end on GMPartsDirect. Turns out GM does make some. I found them on a Midnight Edition Silverado Trail Boss. I wasn't able to grab its VIN, so I went to Chevy.com and used the build & price tool. When I clicked on the Midnight Edition package I noticed the truck's exhaust cutouts turned black. I then finished the build and clicked on the button that allows you to search available inventory near the default zip code GM's website input. I was able to find a midnight edition Silverado, and wrote down its VIN number. I then took the VIN number to my local dealer to find the part number. They gave me the part numbers, but told me the parts are on backorder. Nobody near to the dealer's search area has them. I then jumped on to GMPartsDirect on my cell phone and searched the part numbers. They are below. The result revealed these are for the Carbon Pro Edition GMC Sierra. I checked the compatibility for the Silverado, but GMPD said they aren't compatible. I get it. Go look for these without a part number and no VIN and all GM sources say these don't exist. IIRC, the price for the black exhaust cutouts are about $10 more each than the chrome ones on GMPD. I want these for my Northsky Blue Trail Boss, so I'll dig a bit further into this to find out how long the backorder is. I'm trying to eliminate all chrome from the exterior of my truck. Hopefully this helps somebody out.

I haven't looked further into this yet. I moved across the country. When I posted that I was living near Virginia Beach, VA. I'm now in San Diego, CA, and drove the new truck the entire way. Just got the keys to my house on Friday, and my furniture arrives Monday. It's been a crazy time for me. I'm sorry. Hopefully I can get back to this soon. I want to eliminate all the chrome on my truck badly, but this cross country move was something I needed to get through before I could finish my truck.

Found these on eBay. https://ebay.com/usr/partsfynder. Just bought the matte black set. Says I should receive them by Sept. 30th

Yeah I saw those too, I got a guy who would PC them for me for $60 bucks. Just looks like a PITA to remove them and really don’t want to snap any plastic on a brand new truck. 
 

I might dip mine first and see how that goes. Plus not sure what color I want to go with yet as my bumper is black and truck is the Satin Steel....

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
