Well it's been a busy, dirty summer, and since all it does is rain here in Anchorage, I was long overdue to clean the interior of my truck and install the Weathertechs I have had, and the door sill plates.

 

I didn't want the chrome or stainless plates, since it would seriously clash with my interior. As of yet, nobody makes black plastic ones to match the truck's interior.

 

Thanks to Rich (MS3Dale), I found that the AutoVentshade ones for 99-06 fit pretty good in the front, and I cut the rear ones to "fit" in the back to cover most of the scratches already induced by my son and his pals.

 

They aren't perfect, but for $29 delivered from a guy on Ebay, I think they turned out okay.

 

Much better than the chrome/polished IMO, and no scratches on the sill.

 

Love the Weathertechs, and I know when they "settle in" they will look even better.

Looks great (and familiar :D ).

 

Those WeatherTech logos peel right off without even leaving any residue. Lose them!!! :lol:

Looks good Scott :D

I still don't know why AVS does not have the stepshields out for the GMT900 trucks,makes no sense too me at all :D

But then again I'm not too impressed with the fact that theres a lot of aftermarket stuff "not" out for these trucks,AVS also does not have clear headlight covers out for them,And LUND does not have there "original" sunvisor out either,I've had a LUND visor on every truck I've ever had,I love the way they look.

Yeah I hear ya. When you and I discussed this, and I bought them, I held off on the rear ones hoping they would come out...I keep checking to see if anyone is making them yet.

 

Some day :lol:

do the trucks not come with sill plates (covers) from the factory?

 

 

Yes, the same as the 800's. I added the smaller black plastic pieces below the factory ones, see the pics

Oh, I didn't know the trucks didn't come with any from the factory. My Yukon did and I thought they all did

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      The amount of storage in the rear seat area is huge. You can keep all your cycle gear dry and clean back there

      Subtle vibration, can of worms opened.

      By Sparky176 · Posted

      Truck in fluid changes and investigate subtle shudder at cruising speeds.  Told them it felt like my ‘14’s shudder when AFM kicked in.   Dealer #1 :  You need a new torque converter.   6 weeks later, after causing other damages to my truck, I get the truck back.  Same shudder exists. New, more violent shifts and vibrations at low speed.  After choice words and a few more weeks of waiting for them to replace my running boards supports, I move on to another Dealer.   Dealer #2:  The cruising speed shudder is DFM.  (I didn’t realize truck had it.) The TCM/ECM needs updates.  Updates will solve all vibration issues.   They perform updates, truck seemed ok in lot.  Not a mile down the road, SERVICE BRAKE PAD MONITOR. Dealer #1 stated brakes were at 4mm.   took truck back to Dealer #2, rear brakes at 2mm and less than 1mm.     New pads/rotors on rear, new pads up front.   truck seems good. Toggle through menus, brake monitor system is disabled.  Huh?  Why? Turn that sucker on : SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM!     will not reset manually, automatically, or even after pulling negative bat cable for 30min.     Could the TCM/ECM updates the culprit?    A torque converter diagnosis for a “normal” shudder and now I’m thousands in the hole and the truck still isn’t right!  Beyond pissed.

      Seats matter a lot.  I would start there - good advise here.  I had a 2018 LT Colorado before my 2026 LT Silverado, and the seats are so much better in the new one it's not even a contest.  That was one thing I always hated about the Colorado and I owned two of them spanning 10 years - but I did it so I could park in the garage mainly.  Now I have a much larger property and a huge barn so I have plenty of parking options and a full size is more useful for maintaining the property and current hobbies as well.  I wasn't evenb thinking about the seats as part of the reason for the move to the Silverado, but after two back to back 700mile road trips I am sold on the LT seats w/ leather 100%.  The other LT features are also nice - one thing I really like is the power rear window on the back window by the bed.  And the lighting in the bed is also very nice to have - I doubt that comes on the lower models.  Power tailgate - also quite useful - it's a heavy slug!  What else - I could take or leave the screen - but heated seats and steering wheel and cruise control on the steering wheel is very useable - I would never want to live without that.  Even the colorados had that.

      I think the ship has sailed on the fuel injection type - everything is getting direct now.  Does it help with mpg?  Not really and nobody buying a HD truck really cares anyway.  But that is what it is at this point.  Piston rings is something they may well adjust over time to get them right.
