They do look good, but not $150 worth of good for me. I'll keep looking forward for more of y'all's pics tho. Funny thing, I never even noticed the headlight knob was a slightly different silver until this thread.

I would agree, $21 is alot for a radio knob. I was lucky to get a Christmas discount. $16 is still out of line. But then I sat back and finger fu@ked one for a minute. Coming from a manufacturing mentality, there is over a hours worth of American labor for each one. By the time you machined, de-burr, polish, paint to customer spec's, I would assume polish again, package, and with free shipping, there is not alot of meat left on the bone.

 

I'm doing what the .gov asked, stimulate the economy. ?

They just slide over the existing knob. Fit well.

That's a good point. Maybe I should have added that the stock knobs don't bother me enough order some at this price point. I just did a quick Google search and some sites are selling these for as much as $300! Definitely go straight to the source if y'all do get some.

 

Oh and keep the pics coming!

My headlight knob was slightly smaller as well, I had to put some scotch tape on it to make the new knob stay on.

Does anyone know if the 2019 knobs are the same size as the 2018 and earlier?

No, unless you are talking the early '19. They have the knobs for the K2's though.

Just ordered mine in carbon black. They say due to demand it may take up to 30 days before shipping out.

I cant really tell a difference between the carbon and onyx black. Can anyone else tell a difference?

The first picture is IdahoElevation's, onyx black. It's a darker black to match his paint.

The carbon black is more gray to me. And matches the dash color, to my eye.

Wish someone made just a textured rubber slip on cover for these

My high country has the black textured rubber and I really like it. Very durable, easy to clean, and pretty grippy was well.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      Yeah I don’t leave ANYTHING just sitting supposedly maintaining my battery on a vehicle or RV for multiday periods. I connect a charger as needed to provide a full charge, then disconnect it and either monitor the battery or follow a set schedule for periodic charging.

      NEW TRUCK

      Get the 5.3. I`m not a Ford guy.😉   I think these L84`s are less problematic than the L83`s. Certainly less than the L87.

      NEW TRUCK

      By PUSSLEGUT · Posted

      I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.
