I have been in the market for a new half ton and I was thinking about getting the new 23 1500 Elevation. Today, me and my brother saw this truck in the mall parking. After seeing this I'm 100% set on getting a GM truck. This truck had yellow lights around the headlights and beefy tires. They looked like 35 inch tires or bigger. It also sounded menacing, it had the 6.2L badge. Since it was running, we waited for 10mins hoping to talk to the owner, but my brother had to go somewhere, so we left. we took couple of pictures. 

 

And as we were leaving the mall, I took one picture of the rear, and it looked like it had dual exhaust tips on each side. I think this is the GM catback exhaust or something. I remember it being one of the options on the build page. 

 

I plan to visit the dealership soon and I'll show these pictures to the salesman and see if I can get this from factory.

 

But I can't find any pictures of these trucks where the LED strip around the headlights is yellow. In my opinion that makes this truck look 10X better.

Looks like a AT4 package truck to me. The amber LED's are likely because of the remote start. Even my older 2016 Silverado runs the amber lights (turn signals) when the remote start is on. Once the truck is running though they will switch to the regular day time running lights which are white.

That's what I thought at first, but my brother said he watched the guy drive into the parking spot and he said the lights were yellow as he was driving and turning. And I looked at few videos on youtube of new style 1500s getting started with remote, and the lights around the headlights were white. it seems the yellow lights flash twice then the white ones come on and stay on.

Could have the headlight knob turned to running lights only which turns the DRL's off.

I'm researching this pretty hard and I can't find any videos or pictures of any other 1500s where the DRLs are yellow. It seems, the yellow ones are only for turn signals and white for DRLs. I'm not sure how this truck has yellow DRLs. 

 

Maybe I should have stuck around and talked to the owner. I love the look of this truck and I want to replicate it for my future elevation trim. I can't afford AT4, and can't afford to gas up the 6.2L either.

 

The dual exhaust tips on each side look way better than those HDMI exhaust on normal exhaust. Hopefully the catback exhaust doesn't cost too much.

The surround is the DRL

Those are not OEM tires and rims. The stock tire is a 275/60R20. The DRLs are aftermarket and most likely aftermarket exhaust since you said it sounded "menacing". The twin tips are stock on GM.

You're right about the wheels and tires. I can't find them on the GM build page. However when I looking at the headlights up close, They definitely looked like stock headlights. I'm 99% sure. 

 

I have seen aftermarket headlights before and they're usually less bright and the looks just scream after market china made. 

 

These headlights were oem and super bright. I've had Anzos aftermarket headlights installed on my F150 and the DRLs on those were considerably less bright than stock. And I can't find any aftermarket headlights that would have yellow DRLs for 2022+ 1500s.

 

And you're right again about the exhaust. I was under the impression that the cat back exhaust came with dual exhaust tips on each side, but that catback exhaust from GM still comes with HDMI exhaust tips. This truck most likely had the borla S-type exhaust.

Talked to a friend who is also a GMC salesman and he said he's unaware of yellow DRLs on the Elevation. He suggested I call the parts manager on Monday and see if he has any idea.

Thanks, appreciate you asking around. 

 

And I did more looking around, so far I couldn't find any aftermarket LEDs that look like stock headlights but offer yellow DRLs. 

 

Someone said, he might have baked the headlights in the oven and taken them apart and replaced the white DRL LEDs with yellow ones. 

 

That's a lot of work, I mean it looks good but if you're essentially writing off two headlight assemblies, in case it doesn't work or the seal isn't as good and you start getting moisture inside. 

 

And forget the warranty. 

 

I'm still hoping its an option from factory, but the lack of pictures online of these trucks with yellow DRLs leads me to believe this guy modified these himself. 

 

And another thing that I can't get out of my head is these were freaking bright! I have seen my fare share of aftermarket headlights and none of them are ever as bright as OEM headlights like these ones.

Maybe the new AT4X? My 23 Trail Boss has white running lights that turn orange for turn signal and when flashing - haven't tried using them as running lights.

I have a 2021 AT4 with the 6.2L.  I'm getting better gas mileage now than with my 2014 with a 5.3.  

 

I've been pleasantly surprised at the fuel economy. Especially on long highway trips.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
