Yeah I almost purchased one of these but decided against it in the end. It looked/worked great on my 16 Silverado but didnt think it would on the 21 Sierra. The depth under the tailgate on the 21 is much deeper. Saw one running down the road and it barely put out any light til I got up on it. After seeing that, it just wasnt worth the $300 to me.

They're bright enough.  One of my nicknames for my wife is Blindy The Dwarf Midget Elf.  She was driving behind me in her Traverse and told me she could see it broad daylight. 

 

Btw, the nickname is common knowledge, and all true.  She needs glasses to see, is really short, and her ears stick out.  The name she has for me is less flattering.

First things I bought together was LED license plate and reverse lights, tailgate 3D letters, painted/outlined Silverado/LT lettering, and shorty antenna.

I went cheap on the exhaust and just had the muffler removed. Actually sounds pretty damn good without it. I left the resonators though. Maybe one day Ill do LTHs also but that would be years away lol.

Glad I read the post above, I forgot about the license plate bulbs being switched to LED on day one lol. Also the organizer trey for the console as well. How they decided to put LEDs everywhere except the rear plate is beyond me.

What color is your Sierra if you don’t mind me asking?

Its the Pacific Blue Metallic. So basically midnight metallic blue lol.

Tonneau cover and Bed Rug.

Then I used some of my GM points and got a console organizer (for an effin Denali).

 

Thinking about the stubby antenna.

Will get some different tires but going to run the stock tires for awhile.

Look into the color matched fender flares they run about $500 shipped but worth every penny. I have them for my truck and it makes such a difference. I’ve also seen it on the pacific blue and it completely changes the look of the truck.

Thanks, I may look into that when I get other things done I want. I thought about black wheels on her but I think it would look too muddy. Maybe black with machined face though. That way it has some offset.

I had my stock 22” painted gloss black and they look awesome. I was planning on going after market but I really like the stock wheels. The color of my truck is tricoat frost. Dave Sinclair Customs (you can find them on YouTube and instagram) has the best custom trucks I’ve seen IMO. They’ve helped me with my build a lot. They have your truck color with a chrome delete in gloss black and it looks amazing.

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
