I saw a 2019+ LT Z71 over the weekend, and I'm pretty sure it was painted in the old Bright Teal Metallic from the mid 90's.  I didn't have time to stop and ask the guy the story behind his truck.  I'm pretty sure it had a Tennessee license plate.  Does anyone on here know if it was once one of the special order colors, or do you think this guy just randomly had his repainted?  Has anyone seen one?

I don't remember a bright teal (greenish) color in the early 2000's.  I remember Indigo Blue Metallic and the Rival Blue Metallic in the 2000's.  I had a Rival Blue in 2003.  You sure it wasn't a '22 refresh in Glacier Blue Metallic you saw?

Sorry, it was a mid 90's color on the Silverado.  And, it was definitely not Glacier Blue Metallic or any other blue that has been available since the mid 90's.

Lol ok.  Sounds like the Quasar blue.

They have a teal shade as one of the SEO (Special Equipment Option) special paints. That's probably what it was. 

 

It's WA-5405 listed simply as 'Blue' (there are three different colors called 'Blue', in addition to Indigo Blue Metallic and Arrival Blue).

 

Here's the order guide with a list of all the SEO paint colors.

The original post in this thread has a picture of a truck in the above mentioned color.

You nailed it, Jeff.  Thanks for the reply.  I was pleasantly surprised at how good the truck looked in that color.

 Yes.  Jeff nailed it above.  It's WA-5405, also called Blue Green Metallic.

That was my 2019 RST pictured.

GM sold a "TON" of that teal color during the C/K 1500 run. I still see many of them running around here in Midwest IA. Most are rusted to the frame but still driving on the roads. My favorite body style of any GM truck in my opinion.

They also sold a TON of Camaro's in a very similar color.

Not as many as there were, lol - I had a 2005 Suburban in that color - its just a little different than the SEO teal that is (rarely) available.  A few years ago (2019) I saw someone here that had wrapped one in teal that was very close to the old GM one. Here's the link:

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
