I just got a new 1500 crew/short trail boss.  I want to put vent visors on it.

I know some of you have done the same as I searched and read a few threads.

So, what seems to be good quality and good fit?

Which is better, stick on, ( my last truck had those and seemed to work well) or the type that fits in the channel?

Thanks for any comments.

BTW, what does AT4, T1, etc mean?

I just installed the EGR slimline in channels and very happy with ease of install and quality.

My previous 1500 CC had the surface mounted vents. The turbulence with the windows down for the dogs was bad, but the rear slider open helped some. My 2020 CC without visors has real bad turbulence and came without a rear slider to help. I suspect the large towing mirrors are the contributing factor, aside from a more blunt front end than earlier trucks. Anybody see any improvement of the turbulence by adding the vents? May go flush mount this time, but I like the look of the truck without them as well.

I stopped at 2 truck/car accessory stores today looking for vent visors.  Neither had them for my truck.

2020 1500 4X4 LT Trail Boss CC/SB

Also they told me that the in channel versions are a problem with the window sensors. Works for some but others it does not.

Any experience out there with in channel vent visors?

I've had mine in for a few weeks with zero issues.

In channel vent visors have been a PIA on my 2011 F150 with window pinch sensors, I'm hoping to have the same clean look of in channels without the sensor interference on my new Silverado, to the OP, thanks for starting this thread.

I just ordered some AVS in channel visors and hood protector.  Will post back results.

I have the AVS in channel and have constant trouble with the window pinch sensors and then when trying to override the drivers side sensor, it busted the visor. The passenger side front visor is WAVY real bad. About ready to trash them and try WeatherTech brand

Ive had the EGR vents installed almost since the truck was new. Just recently now the drivers side when the window goes up the sensor in the door sends it back down. I have to shut the truck off to send the window up n stay up.

I had this trouble on my 2014 with in channel visors. This is why I prefer the stick on ones. As long as they are installed well, I have  never had an issue with them coming off.

I posted wrong, I received my EGR, not AVS, Friday and installed them in about 10 minutes.  My windows don't seem to be bothered by them being there.  Fit fine and make no wind noise I can hear.

 

They fit very flush with the doors, looks great.

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
