All,

 

My wife and kids are always looking for gift ideas for Fathers Day.  I realize there are a zillion options and it all depends on taste, but what are some good accessories under $100 that could be given as a gift?  I just got my truck last fall and pretty much only have Husky Liners and a Tonneau, so everything else is fair game.

 

Thanks in advance

Depending what package you have, you could convert some of your lights to LED's. I've got the LTZ, so I'll be converting my front turn signals and reverse lamps to LED lights. The brand is LasFit, and seem to have good reviews. Turn signals and reverse lamps are about ~$60. Obviously if you have the High Country then I believe you're already all set, ha.

Just food for thought.

I have the LTZ too.  I've already done the license plate and reverse lights.  What light did you use for the front turn signals?

So, not sure how accurate they are, but Amazon says this will not work in my truck.

 

When I look up what bulb to use for that on the pinned post, it shows Turn Signal/Marker - W21/5WLL, this bulb is a WY21W.  Is that the same thing?  Sorry for the ignorance, just double checking.

Nah, all good, sir. Amazon says the same thing for mine, but their(LasFit) YouTube video uses that model bulb and their website listed that same part number as well. You can double check their website for accuracy, but Amazon is for sure cheaper.

I’ve had the Lasfits in front for probably a year now. Great, durable lights. You get what you pay for.

 

Other inexpensive ideas...splash guards, bowtie puddle lamps, tailgate letter inlay, hitch cover, stubby antenna, black grill bowtie if you have a gold one, etc etc.

Thanks for the help. 

 

I found this one too, pretty sure its the same bulb you shared. Check out the text on the side of the box, "for off road use only". Tempted to try it for an extra $25 ???

Thanks for the input. 

 

I looked on the GM website and saw p/n's 84133640 and 84293092.  Besides price, what is the difference between these two? I could have overlooked it, but they look identical, except for the $30 price difference.

 

Thanks again.

84293092 is the tiny little one for the corner of the grill on WT & Custom trims. Since you have an LTZ, you need the bigger, more expensive one (84133640).

Thanks. I filtered the results to only show items for my truck and it brought back both emblems. I will add this to the list.

Console organizer. The GM Accessories one is right around $50 if I'm remembering right.

Bed rail caps and console organizers. I just picked an organizer and the caps myself off Amazon.

I added these to my list.  I haven't looked at the front yet, but I assume installation is similar to the rear?  2 screws and the assembly pops right out?  I don't really want to take off 2 or 3 other things to complete the task.....primarily cause I would probably break something in the process.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
