If you are going by stuff on the list, I would say go for the intake. For me I can have a totally stock looking truck, but as long as I know I can blow your doors off I don't really care. Oh yeah and happy birthday!!

lol yeah i hear ya!! i just like the unique look, because everybody around here has a stock z71 rado, but nobodys got intake, tune, nerf/grill guard so it would be nice to stick out, plus i want to add a little bit more chrome to her to get my gunmetal gray paintchip to really SHINE!!!

I totally and completely understand. It almost seems as around here if you have a truck you either have a crew cab diesel or you have an extended cab Z71. But nobody around here has the color I have, nor the truck I have.

what i really want is a new exhaust, but dont really have the $$ with school and all my toys :cool: , but we'll see, my cousins friend owns a custom exhaust shop and said he'd give me a good price on a new system, but as far as small manageable mod's, i'm definately painting my bowtie black when i get the chance, and getting some new z71 decals, kind of tired of my camo ones!!!

 

and i will definately post pics the minute i install all the goodies :)

do you have the pics of the camo Z71 in the Darkroom? I never noticed it. I'm on dialup right now so it takes forever for pics to load. That is why I'm asking and not looking.

you have one of the better ones I've seen. Ones like you have that look almost like one continuous piece of camo that had spaces cut out look better than the ones that are just like a pattern. Kind of like they take the same piece and continue to make shapes out of it.

That bright grey outline doesn't look like it contrasts too well with your rig. It kinda "kills the vibe". It would look awesome if it were either a darker shade of grey or just an all camo piece.

      “Service Emission System” & “175 miles until “65 MPH Max Speed”

      By ManyCamaroz · Posted

      I don't drive this truck on a regular basis since I have a new company truck with no out of pocket fuel or maintenance cost. Yesterday I got it out to run some errands and got the title message on my DCI. A quick Google search suggested to first clean the Map Sensor. I pulled it out and it was sooty so cleaned it up and reinstalled it. Issue not resolved. My OBDII is a couple years old so didn't see any codes. Today I took it to a friend at AutoZone to get him to check it with his reader. It had the following codes: P20C3 P02BB P221F Stating the most likely solution is to replace diesel emission fluid (DEF) tank assembly.   So, I guess a trip to the dealer is necessary. I read where there was a backorder on these tank assemblies several years ago so hope that has been resolved.

      Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.    And of course your tires carry more weight for a given tire pressure due to their size vs a stock sized tire so there is that to take into the equation as well.

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.

      Like others have said, they will all leak. Mainly at the corners.   I have owned several and the best has been my current one. Revolver x4
