Has anyone come accross snorkle kits for the silverado's ?  iv'e seen tons for the toyotas, and even for the colorado, but nothing for the silverado's .   Not planning on doing any deep river crossings on purpose, but want to cover all the bases for exploring and protecting the vitals as best I can.  What other options might there be ?  suggestions ?   Thank you

X2 ^ and that thing is going to be deep under water for a snorkel to be nessessary. If your still interested, I'd call 4wparts and ask them if there is a kit that has a similar angle to it you might be able to retrofit. Youd have to measure the degree of your a pillar and see if there is something close. Thatd be the route I'd go if I was hell bent on having one. But for me id be more worried about traction with a gov lock and open front diff (IFS) being that deep and getting stuck. Cause then you'll flood the qhole cab and ruin the truck more than likely. Idk, just my .02. Good luck brother

That would actually look pretty cool, seen a tundra lifted with one actually looked good not sure how it would look on a Silverado. Theirs a first time for everything though.

If you get in water deep enough for a snorkle to help, expect to have a host of electrical problems...

 

 

Had my snorkeled Tacoma in deep mud and water all the time, once the bottom of the seats got wet, it's sensor replacement time. The Tacoma breathed in through the fender, a lot like our trucks do. That fender intake area is above the bottom of the seats, so it didn't really help at all. The truck would have kept running, but the electric are going to crap out.

Thanks for all the feedback.   I looked up AEV and they do not have one for that truck, no silverados at all.  I guess it would be a funky set up since the intake is all the way at the front of the fender, run all the way to back of fender and then up.

 

I Guess that would be some pretty deep fording to get up to that intake as it is up at top of fender.  Maybe be better to just put more lift in it ?

      I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

      My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
