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....

I looked up the parts on a GM website, they’re $97 each and although the part numbers from this thread worked, they didn’t say if they were chrome or painted black. I like the look of the matte black so I ordered those.

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 Bos

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

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

I promise you the numbers I provided in post #10 are the black ones.

My truck has the Midnight package and has them. I am an old guy and like chrome. But this is the first truck I have ever seen where chrome looks bad. It looks like they designed it in black and add the chrome later poorly. The front of these new Chevys is hideous with the chrome parts. I almost bought a Ford before I saw this Midnight edition trail boss. I am glad I found it. I wanted a bigger engine. 5.0 in a Ford is a bit small. I like the 6.2.

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.

Congrats on the move. My wife and I are Virginians and visited San Diego two years ago. Absolutely incredible place. Would be the only place we’d move!

I believed you, Hope I didn’t come across that way. I simply looked a little further and saw the option to get a matte finish. Wasn’t sure the finish on the factory midnight edition. I assume they are gloss, but I don’t know.  Sorry for any misunderstanding.

I don't think they are gloss. If I remember right they are matte. I will look tomorrow.

I was only responding to the uncertainty in your last post. Nothing personal was taken by what you said. There was no understanding. I was just trying to clarify since the lack of clarity could've been my fault. Whatever you choose, at the end of the day it's your truck. You should go with whatever you prefer. Congrats on the matte black exhaust outlets. I'd love to see some pics once you have them installed. It sounds like your truck will look awesome!

All good. Will update when they arrive. Also have to figure out how to remove the stock set, looks like you have to go unscrew something on the bumper step?

Some have been able to get their hands under and get the bolts out. I removed both steps wasn’t hard and I was able to clean the road debris out of there. Also had help [emoji16]

At first glance I thought that was some sort of adhesive and instantly regretted getting black tips haha

Nope. I haven't looked into it yet. Been focused on getting the light bar installed on the sport bar. First things first though. My furniture just arrived yesterday. In order to find my tools, and have room to do anything with the truck, I need to unpack everything.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
