Hey guys! As some of you know, I have putco chrome door handles on my truck. Would just the center section look good? Would it look better if I took off the surround? Does putco actually sell the enter section as the same as the one I bought? How would the tail gate handle look with only the center? Anyone have pics? I also just ordered some bed caps and taking off the chrome bed rails...

HA! You are slowly dechroming your truck. I think Suburbans or Yukons once had handles that were chrome only in the center pull handle part. (It may have been Escalade). It looked pretty good but I think the surrouning part was body colored.

 

I like the chrome bed rails myself. I'd keep 'em.

Well Jim, maybe your right. I think I might leave the bed rails on. They do look good. Looks like I might have to take the bed caps back :tear: Plus I will use them a lot in the summer anyways!

I dont think the chrome bed rails look good on anything. Thats me though. I dont like the chrome fuel tank covers either. or chrome fender molding. just looks to cheaply overdone.

 

Joey, I think your truck would look better if you had the housing de-chromed and painted pewter to match body. But leave the chrome handle itself.

 

Im satisfied with my black housing/chrome handle, but my rims are black/chrome...

 

Oh, and also, I suggest a billet grille for your truck.. It would look great.

I'm pretty much with Tyler here. I've never cared much for bed rails, chrome or otherwise. They've never looked right on any truck I've seen. I think bright work on the door pulls is okay, but doing the surrounds as well is just wayyy too much.

Yeah I am going to leave the handles on until I can pay for some paint. I actually called to tell them I was still debating on my bed caps. Would the bed caps with or without stake holes look better? Also, I am also still debating on a billet grill. If I do get one, it will be with the stock GMC emblem because to me, the grills w/out it look cheap. I don't honestly know if a billet would look good though! Thanks for the help guys.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
