Here is my 2015 GMC Sierra Work Truck 5.3 4x4. I purchased it just under a year ago. It currently has a 4/6 drop. I enjoy reading the threads on here so I figured I'd make one! Here is what I have done so far:

 

Here is what it looked like when I first purchased it

First thing I did was remove the vinyl flooring and install carpet

Next was a set of factory 20s, which I plasti dipped black later on.

Then comes paint matching the door handles, mirror caps and added side moldings and emblems.

Then I added fog lights, being a work truck it didn't have them. I used this really nice kit from Ebay that has a switch  built into the bezel where the headlight switch is.

Next some more interior mods. First was the LT style silver trim

Then one of my favorite mods, a heated steering wheel. I used a harness from harnessdr highly recommended!

Then comes another one of my favorite mods, 2016+ style headlights. The harness I used for this is from Gen5DIY

I also added a SLT grille (Which I later changed out)

Hopping back inside I added a factory center console. I did have to trim the map pocket for my 4x4 shifter but it turned out very slick!

Not a very good photo, but I added helper bags because I do tow quite often with this truck

Now just recently I paint matched the front end and added a paint matched rear bumper from a denali. I used the outer grille bezel from a elevation edition and used my SLT center to keep alittle chrome, I also wrapped the chrome bumper because paint+chrome never lasts.

Then just the other day I traded my 20s for a set of 22s this is the best picture I have at the moment.

What an awesome transformation, your hard work absolutely paid off! Your truck looks great!

 

I don't think anyone would ever be able to tell that it was ever a work truck

A few of those first pictures look like Miller Chevs parking lot, I can see Graco in the background.

 

I just don't remember if I've seen the truck around the area yet lol.

Badazz truck dude! I did not know the center console would fit in a wt. I'll be doing the same. 🍻 

I did some research on it, harnessdr make a harness to make it plug and play!

Got some things done over the weekend. I did a front and rear diff service. Very easy to do and well worth it. The rear didn't look too bad (may have been done by the PO) but the front was long over due.

Then unfortunately winter is fast approaching, and I do drive this truck year round so I go to doing some preventive rust proofing. In MN if you drive your cars year round rust is inevitable but I can try and slow it down.

Here is what I used. I typically use Fluid Film but I have read fantastic things about this stuff so I thought I'd try it. I am impressed so far by how it sticks but we will see how it handles the winter roads.

I also took the chrome window trim off, I felt like it didn't go well with the black wheels.

After a cold winter last year I decided it was time for some heated seats! While I was at it I put new replacement seat cover bottoms on because mine were starting to wear around the edge where you'd slide in and out.

Then I coated a couple spots on the rocker with POR-15. Just minor surface rust no soft metal or anything thankfully but I want to keep it that way as long as possible. 

 

After I let that dry for a few days I coated it with this white Raptor bedliner. It match's extremely well and spayed very nice!

*I cleaned off the overspray on the frame after this photo.

 

I also put some of the coating in the inside of the door jambs where the paint was getting thin from shoes hitting it getting in and out.

I also added some Texas Edition badges

      Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL?

      2015 Silverado 3500 right rear turn indicator failure

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      By Atlas · Posted

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off you mentioned "Toyo Says" and then gave the pressures 45/50, was this some person at the tire shop that pulled those numbers out of his head ?   Now of course I can't know your exact axle weights front and rear, however I have much the same pickup as yourself other than not knowing your starting weight as per the pounds the truck rolled out of the factory at due to the options yours did or didn't come with or what you have added beyond the extra tire weight. The correct way to know 100% where a person is at is by weighing each axle with the typical weight the vehicle is driven with and that means taking into account passengers and making sure you figure in a full tank of fuel and a little grace for whatever you may put in the bed "groceries" !    I am looking at and not that it really matters as all the tire companies use the same charts anyway, but I am looking at the comprehensive Toyo tire chart in the section that your tire falls under and I know it sounds confusing but your tire is not an LT metric tire like your factory tire but instead because its a standard inch measured tire its under a different category called an LT floatation series tire. That makes a difference as LT metric tires they don't want to see run below 35 psi at highway speed where as with the LT floatation series it can be run down to 25 psi on the highway as long as the weight on the said size of tire is agreeable with or less than that minimum 25 psi. It blows many people away that how is this physically possible, an empty truck for one thing and larger tires with the same size wheel diameter have a lot more air volume so they can carry the same weight as the smaller tire with less air pressure.    So my truck, I have the stock 275/65R20 wheels and tires and I have a bit of weight in the box with a bak flip cover and a rubber bed mat and some tools and spare gas. The front of my gas truck weighs a bit more than some trucks of the similar spec due to double batteries and alternators. However with full fuel and just me in the truck I am weighted such that I can run 40 front and 35 rear and so that is what I have done since day one.    If I base your truck at or slightly below the weight of my truck, in theory with your tires going by the tire chart you might be right around a minimum of 30 pounds front and 25 pounds rear. Of course that would hit pretty much minimum cold inflation pressure one could run with that tire size and a near empty truck. If you have access to an accurate weigh scale to do individual front and rear axle weights I would suggest you do that and make sure your topped up with fuel and whatever else in the truck before you weigh it and then you will have a great starting point to work off of and figure out what your bare minimum pressures are you can safely run. If you do much in the way of hot weather high speed driving, bumping up a bit for a safety margin is never a bad idea but just depends on what type of driving you do. I will include the Toyo chart and the floatation series sizes start on page 31. Without a doubt at these pressures I am speculating at minimum wise for your truck, it would most certainly ride very different then it did when you were using 55 lb front and rear.     https://www.toyotires.com/media/pxcjubjs/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf
