I spent the last few nights getting the rest of my parts installed on the new truck. Here is how it is now and so far I am very pleased. 

2021 HC 3500 SRW Cherry Red Tintcoat

 

- 295/65R20 KO2s

- all chrome center caps

- black bow tie

- Z71 all weather mats

- GM bed mat

- Kicker OEM sub

- ARB Twin Air compressor

- Banks Derringer

- Banks iDash

- AFE 5” DPF Back exhaust w/ MBRP tip

- Truxedo X15

- B&W 20K companion hitch

 

I am happy to answer any questions about my installs and try to save people from tearing their hands up like I did.

Nice build. I have been curious if the B&W companion had enough rise for front box clearance it the bed rails. Definitely looks like it does.

mine is also in the middle of three height positions. It can go higher if need be.

Nice truck!  Of course I'm partial to the color too as it's the same as my 2021 AT4 3500 SRW.

I also run the same 5th wheel hitch from B&W and have been very happy with it.

 

I have it set on the highest position and the most rearward position.  On my 2021 AT4 3500, I can get almost a full 90* jack knife if I need to (probably 85*, but the trailer wheels start getting very unhappy about it!).  Having it in this position allows my pinbox/frame wings to clear the siderails on my Retrax tonneau cover if I'm backing in and getting close to sideways, as long as I'm on mostly level ground.

 

Also with this height, I am still able to close my Retrax cover with the hitch installed.

Without a doubt the best color (IMO) on the High Country.

 

How loud is that ARB compressor in the cab?  Interesting choice that you mounted it there instead of outside the truck.  Do you have air lines going out to the exterior somewhere?

I only use it if I am out of the truck.  I have an ARB airline that I plug in if I need to use it for something.

Cool.  If I looked at the picture right, the floor mat is cut out for the compressor so I assume that it is indeed floor mounted?  Or am I just a moron and its just laying there LOL.

The floor mat is cut and holds the foot of my ARB mount.  Its not physically mounted to the floor but it does not move.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
