Hello all,

 

I just bought a new to me 2018 Silverado 2500HD LTZ last week.  I'm looking to start getting parts for it. 

I'm wondering where everybody gets there aftermarket parts from and why.

I was originally looking on realtruck.com, however I saw that they had tons of negative reviews so it made me hesitant to follow through.  

All input appreciated.

Just to confirm,..... Are you looking for Aftermarket Accessories?(wheels, bed covers, lifts)?.... Or are you looking for aftermarket replacement parts (alternator, CV axles, etc)

Varies depending on what I am buying and how fast I need it.  For local repair parts, usually will go with our motor parts store, which is a napa store.  If not urgent time wise, will sometimes use rockauto.

 

Been looking at realtruck's bumper's and seat cover's.  Prices seem fair.

They certainly do have fair/competitive pricing when looking at other sites.image.thumb.png.4600abeb50aed67d7b211d8632137b0a.png 

This Picture tends to make me want to steer away from them however.

Thanks for posting the reviews, had not checked any reviews on them yet.  Agree that I would not take my chances with them either after seeing that. 

 

A bumper or grill guard is in the not too far off future for my 2500, had looked at a few at realtruck, but also was looking at bumper superstore and a few other places.  Will definitely check back in here to see others suggestions.

Ebay, check sellers feed back, compare prices.

Amazon, just a pain in the butt to find what you're looking for.

Internet, type in what you're looking for and truck model and year, you'll find dozens.

Use one card for all purchases, seems safer.

Hate to say it, but REALTRUCK has been a nightmare. Ordered a tonneau and nerf bars for new truck. Tonneau was damaged right out of the box and the nerf bars are backordered and they will not just "cancel"  due to being too busy.  I called and emailed to cancel the order due to them sating it would be 14 days (showed in-stock at time of order?). I need step bars to get the kids into the truck...  Probably stalling the 14 day backorder time to then ship and say "sorry these were shipped already". They have good selection and pricing, but I will not buy from them again.

 

I am following this tread to find the best place to buy the rest of the things I end up buying for my trucks!!

Inputted this into my search bar excitedly; was upset to see silverado 2500 HD is not an option.

Call them and ask, I had to do that for a few parts to see if they could supply them. They did.

I have had good results from AutoAnything.com. Last years Black Friday sale prices were better then all others on Pace Edward retractable tonneau. Shipping was 3 days free. Plus coupon which I never used.

For aftermarket accessories, I usually go to 4wheelonline because of their good service and pricing. Actually, I just ordered a set of dually wheels for my 3500HD.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
