I want to vinyl wrap all the chrome looking shiny interior trim to prevent sun-glare and just to make the truck look a little different.  I've seen videos on how to remove the trim around the radio/middle AC vents and the cupholders.  How about the trim around the other  AC vents?  The chrome ring that wraps the drivers side AC vent along with the other driver control knobs in that area such as lights, tow/sport mode, 4WD etc. and on the other side around the passenger side AC vents?  Those are the ones I want to get to the most.  Do those have clips like the cupholder or no?  Also want to try the chrome trim around the faux wood wood on the door and center console.  

 

Anyone able to remove all the shiny "stuff" yet?

Looks good, but you're going down the rabbit hole on this one.  It always starts with the trim......

Well it started with the carbon fiber tailgate lettering I did.  But indeed, down the rabbit hole I go!  Exhaust tips are going to be hydrodipped in a carbon fiber pattern also.  Theme of the truck is Red and carbon-fiber ?

Looks really good. I’m a chrome guy, but have noticed just a few fine scratches on my cup holder chrome trim.  Eventually if it gets worse or irritates me enough I’ll do this. Excellent job.

I just ordered some vinyl for the vent trim. The glare from them are terrible. Especially the vent by the radio bezel. Let me know how it goes. So far looking good.

      The amount of storage in the rear seat area is huge. You can keep all your cycle gear dry and clean back there

      Subtle vibration, can of worms opened.

      Truck in fluid changes and investigate subtle shudder at cruising speeds.  Told them it felt like my ‘14’s shudder when AFM kicked in.   Dealer #1 :  You need a new torque converter.   6 weeks later, after causing other damages to my truck, I get the truck back.  Same shudder exists. New, more violent shifts and vibrations at low speed.  After choice words and a few more weeks of waiting for them to replace my running boards supports, I move on to another Dealer.   Dealer #2:  The cruising speed shudder is DFM.  (I didn’t realize truck had it.) The TCM/ECM needs updates.  Updates will solve all vibration issues.   They perform updates, truck seemed ok in lot.  Not a mile down the road, SERVICE BRAKE PAD MONITOR. Dealer #1 stated brakes were at 4mm.   took truck back to Dealer #2, rear brakes at 2mm and less than 1mm.     New pads/rotors on rear, new pads up front.   truck seems good. Toggle through menus, brake monitor system is disabled.  Huh?  Why? Turn that sucker on : SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM!     will not reset manually, automatically, or even after pulling negative bat cable for 30min.     Could the TCM/ECM updates the culprit?    A torque converter diagnosis for a “normal” shudder and now I’m thousands in the hole and the truck still isn’t right!  Beyond pissed.

      Seats matter a lot.  I would start there - good advise here.  I had a 2018 LT Colorado before my 2026 LT Silverado, and the seats are so much better in the new one it's not even a contest.  That was one thing I always hated about the Colorado and I owned two of them spanning 10 years - but I did it so I could park in the garage mainly.  Now I have a much larger property and a huge barn so I have plenty of parking options and a full size is more useful for maintaining the property and current hobbies as well.  I wasn't evenb thinking about the seats as part of the reason for the move to the Silverado, but after two back to back 700mile road trips I am sold on the LT seats w/ leather 100%.  The other LT features are also nice - one thing I really like is the power rear window on the back window by the bed.  And the lighting in the bed is also very nice to have - I doubt that comes on the lower models.  Power tailgate - also quite useful - it's a heavy slug!  What else - I could take or leave the screen - but heated seats and steering wheel and cruise control on the steering wheel is very useable - I would never want to live without that.  Even the colorados had that.

      I think the ship has sailed on the fuel injection type - everything is getting direct now.  Does it help with mpg?  Not really and nobody buying a HD truck really cares anyway.  But that is what it is at this point.  Piston rings is something they may well adjust over time to get them right.
