Those tail lights look sharp. I just got a ‘16 Silverado last year and I’m loving it. The first couple of things I did was under seat storage rain guards on the windows and a bed cover. Next I’m looking into tinting the windows and the cold air intake.
What I’m going to do to mine is a husky floor mats,a bed cover,led head lights,blacked out led tail lights,bullet antenna,trailer hitch,bull bar,and black rims with wheels I’m going for a full black out
I've got a 17 Silverado 1500 lt. I also had the windows tinted, front floor mat, inchannel window vents, hood visor, new exhaust system, and a magnuson supercharger. Oh and my Winston brush gaurd. I might have to do a video of it.

Buyer Beware! I bought a pair of mirrors from American Trucks for my F150. After just a couple of months they no longer locked in place and I had to constantly open my window and push them back into place. Very dangerous. American Trucks said that they only have a 30-day warranty. When I expressed my displeasure, they offered me a $27 credit. Wow. I had spent over $1400 there this year. I told them to keep their $27.
In the future, you should check out boost auto parts. I've had their tow mirrors for over a year now and they have held up great. I've put them through it, off roading, going the speed limit ;) and through multiple car washes where the machine has banged them up or bent them backwards. They've never went out of place. Some mild shaking from what i heard if you're going over 100 mph, but I'd definitely recommend checking those out.
I put the JLT catch can on my 2017 Silverado LTZ 5.3. I was amazed at the oil/residue it catches. I can't believe that these direct injection engines are dumping that garbage back into the motor.
You guys gotta do an AFM delete. It's the active fuel management system cutting your truck down to 4 cylinders. What they don't tell you is that while the AFM is active it is still vacuuming in the 4 dead cylinders and pulling oil and burning it. This contributes to the oil usage on your truck and frankly I didn't see any changes in milage. If anything it got better! Highly recommend 👌 A hell of a lot smoother to drive too
@@bradyanderson6840 If you have a 6-speed, you can set the gear to 5 in the manual mode and it won't go into 4 cylinders. I also bought the Range Tech and that works for about $200.
I bought a set of those led tail lights. I live in the Salt belt after 1 year, and 1 winter season tail lights failed due to the salt sorting out the resistors that are installed in a bad location on the tail lights them self. So redesign is a must, or a company needs to make an item that will close the gap behind the taillights.
I noticed that last night on my 2018 when I had a taillight out, nice big holes back there for the rear tires to throw everything at the back of the lights.
I just got 2018 LT 5.3 does anyone know what kind of cold air intake would be best ? Or would it best to leave it stock since that’s what’s it’s designed for ?
Its best to leave it stock unless you have money burning a hole in your pocket. Most factory intakes now are "cold air intakes" and any claims you see from aftermarket ones are including a edu tune as well to get whatever they claim. Spending over 1k for an aftermarket one and a tune to make like 15 hp is not worth it.
What about jump seat to console swap. I want to put a console in my 2013 2500HD but I want the newer style ones like 2014/2015 etc. vs the 2013 console. Is this possible?
Can anyone recommend a lift that requires no permanent modification to a truck like no cutting or trimming of frame or anything and what’s the highest I could go if I went the route of no cutting? For a gmc 1500 2018 rwd
Depends on what kind terrain you plan on truck on. If it’s a street only truck you could get maybe 4-6 in if the kit doesn’t cause you to move the drive shaft angle. If it’s desert style I would go with dirt king UCA and king shocks or fox 2.5 . Which will give you a 3 in Lift but more travel and a better ride. And you could add a 3-4 spindle with the uca arms the list goes only depends and what you’re willing to spend
Generally speaking, you can find good lift kits up to about 3.5-4" that won't require cutting/permanent mods to the truck. When you start seeing kits that include differential drop brackets, crossmember, and relocation brackets of other kinds, then you'll start grinding and cutting components. Rough Country, ReadyLift and other have really nice lift kits that don't require cutting things up! 2WD truck are a little tricky, definitely less to choose from in the aftermarket, but generally you can find some good kits! Hope this helps. - Adam
I hear so much back & forth about cold air intakes not being necessary, not being worth it, etc etc, woudl love to see some tests showing it's truly a step up. And woudl it matter on 6cyl 4.3 or 8cyl or, both?
Modern vehicles come from the factory with “cold air intakes”. Companies that claim a hp increase after installing their intake are tuning the ecu to get said increase in hp. Doesn’t make sense for the average consumer to spend close to $1000 for 10 hp
@Aiming Wanderously I have a silverado a will not be putting a Cai. I had one on my tundra abs it made zero difference. It sounded cool and maybe increased throttle response but nothing other than that. Just my opinion
Hey there thanks for these upgrade tips. I have a 2017 GMC Sierra SLT too, but I find the stock backup lights are too dim to see anything when I back up in the dark. I have a long driveway that is hard to navigate at night, so I need brighter lights to avoid hitting anything. Do you have any suggestions on what kind of upgrade lights? I've tried brighter LEDs but still not great. I'm certain GM doesn't hold a monopoly on this problem because I have a Toyota with the same problem. Thanks in advance.
I just bought an old Chevrolet Avalanche 2004. And I have a lot to do! I hope that Silverado 2014 will be my next! Good luck with everything! Greetings from Russia!
Thanks for the great vid. Can we get info on the featured truck? Specifically, details of the lift kit, and the wheel/tire combo including offset etc...
I just bought a 2017 chevrolet silverado ltz 2lz midnight edition and I put it on the freeway I pushed it to the limit and it top out at 99 mph have you done any videos on that and how to get more from my silverado thanks in advance
I have a question I have a 2015 Silverado 1500 lifted and I do not see a splash shield for the engine underneath it everything is exposed once you lifted the truck did you use an aftermarket Splash Shields?
@@grayrider1865 I bought it used I'm sure whoever had it before lost the splash Shields or whatever it's even missing the upper radiator Cover I'm trying to find a replacement for the bottom splash Shields It seems like the 2015 don't have much
Mod number one should be disabling the motor destroying tech called cylinder deactivation. Its been what 15 years since this garbage was introduced manufacturers STILL can't make a system that doesn't end up blowing up the motor. It doesn't matter if it's GM, FCA, or Honda they all fail eventually and either require a new head or a completely new engine

Hate that the market for 14-15 Silverado is slept on, I’m trying to find a nice cowl hood for my 15 but they’re pretty shitty, 16+ models and 13- models have nice options
I'd start by checking every 2,000-3,000 miles until you get a good idea of how much oil it catches! Every engine is going to be a little different. -Zach
Expand your vehicle selections. 2020 GMC Canyon specifically. Honestly surprised you have the Ranger but not the Colorado on there. Colorado is a lot more popular and the newer models have been out longer.

You probably have the answer by now, but I also have the 6 cylinder in my 2017. I put a 2.5 lift on front and a 2 inch lift on back. It will stress your front axles so you do have to install a front diff relocation block as well. But it is super easy to do. Also installed lt275/65r20 Nitto G2. No noticeable ride disturbance.
I laugh everytime someone puts an aftermarket cold air intake on their truck. Your trucks airbox is already cold air genius.. The term "Cold air" is simply defined as air pulled in from somewhere not inside the engine bay, which is known to generate and retain heat. New and older stock chevys pull from within the wheel well producing the effect aka "cold air". All you need to do to achieve the same results as a $350 dollar CAI is simply dropping in a seperate aftermarket K&N replacement Air filter for the stock box at like $35-40 bucks... lol smh here not to mention you never recommended a tune to compensate for the change in airflow youd get with a streamlined air box and inlet tube, using your poorer and less than oem rated micron filtration media 🤭 Sounds like you should have researched more on that one.

Covid, honestly! We along with many of our vendors experienced massive delays in shipping and manufacturing because of the events that happened last year. We are trying our hardest to get as many items as possible back in-stock on our site, but with continued delays in manufacturing/shipping, it hasn't been an easy task. We appreciate you checking out our site and please keep an eye for whatever you're interested in to come back in-stock! -Zach
