im a currently doing a leveling kit and changing the rear blocks to 3 inch instead of the stock ones. ive been wanting to put some bed rails and side steps but dont know which kinds to get. i like the ones that they put on the gfx packages on the 07-09's but instead of getting them in brushed aluminum im thinking go chrome. i havent seen them in chrome but i know u can get them . tell me what you guys think i should do or what u would do if u had this truck. thanks guys i appreciate any help.

 

heres a pic of my truck and a couple pics of the gfx side steps and bed rails.

I have been looking into the All-Terrain package for a new truck I would be interested in. Seems like an expensive package though, how do you like it? Hows the trim and looks as opposed to just a regular Z71? Ride any different with the Ranchos?

 

I havnt gotten around to test driving any since I still owe on my old truck but eventually I was gonna trade it in at some point.

i love the all terrain package. one thing i would of liked to get woulda been the one with leather and the bose system. other than that i love it. it looks the nicest in black or white. i wanted black but i had a black truck before and i hated how u seen all the swirls and scratches. i dont really know how the rancho suspension compares to the normal z71. it rides very smooth tho.

i would ditch the grx package, i think they take away from the truck . i would

 

1)denali taillights (their blacked out)..or just tint yours

2)chrome outside handles , mirrows

3)Putco boss bars....4" round instead of gm ovals...there alittle cheap once you pick them up.

4)leveling kit 3"frt 3"rear

 

then work on tires something aggresive.. just my 2 cents ive done alot of these trucks like this for dealerships and they seem to sell good. but again just a thought.

I don't know yet, I haven't begun shopping. But I did see an ARE brand topper on a Steel Gray Chevy CC this morning and it looked pretty sharp.

 

Got any suggestions?

First...Beautiful truck

Second...I cant believe I'm saying this...I think your truck might look better without the Z71 stickers and Sierra badges. I'd keep the A/T badge.

Third...Beautiful truck

Fourth...I am a big fan of the AMP Research automatic side rails.

the ARE LSX is got to be the nicest cover out there, but if your out west check out snug top...thats the equivelent of ARE here on the east coast.

      The whole story is false. The screw is there as a temporary fix to allow the pump to even turn on. When the nozzle is returned the pump shuts off.. At this point people are just being punked   https://youtu.be/1DtlaEuHXAA?si=06mrRmw9HLUwdeRk   https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CyRZdsaSc/ https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DxV1Hyrqi/       SNOPES: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19HPYUnRik/

      Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I do like it. I wonder if they'll bring back Smokey Quartz Metallic? 🤔 https://gmauthority.com/blog/2026/06/here-is-the-all-new-2027-gmc-sierra-1500/

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.
