    2023 TB Led Headlight Bulbs

    The bulb swap game is pay to play for LED. No LED you swap in will be DOT compliant, but at least the high-end ones appear to have beam patterns that are actually targeted to use halogen reflector housings. Don't be that ass-hat who drops in amazon bulbs that blind oncoming traffic for the sake...

    Duratrac question

    I don't think its a fair assessment that if you think the duratracs are too loud you are wuss or bought the wrong truck. The ZR2 comes with the Wrangler Territory, which perform similar if not the same as the Duratrac off road and are a bit quieter. The duratrac is an older design, and leans a...

    Duratrac question

    They were a bit loud to me initially as well, but I have mostly gotten used to them. Wish we had speed volume auto adjust in these trucks (like every other competitor has and GM trucks had for years even on lesser models) which would help. Performance in heavy rain and snow was surprisingly...

    4wd drive controls, secret handshakes

    Yes I do regular turn TC off on the road. Drove for many years in cars and trucks without TC. Never had a problem. Rather have my car/truck react in a mechanical and predictable way in the slick than the jerky and intrusive synthetic and irregular application of brakes and neutering of the...

    4wd drive controls, secret handshakes

    I turn off TC when driving in heavy rain and snow (and on dirt/gravel roads or any off roading it is a must). 4Auto helps obviously, but especially in 2WD and either way I don't need a computer nanny retarding the throttle when I am trying to clear an intersection or trying to maintain momentum...

    New TB owner... Anything I need to be aware of and what are you guys doing as far as modifications...

    For the 5.3 I think regular is still fine. 6.2 has premium recommended. Top tier fuel is what I would be sure to seek out either way. I try to make sure my 6.2 only ever drinks 93 top tier fuels (always top off at Costco whenever I pass by). Could have imagined it, but I thought I could feel...

    rear parking assist - retrofit

    Ya. Handy when in a parking garage and trying to get up tight to the wall. The cameras on these things are nice, but the proximity alerts can be great to speed things up and allow you to focus on mirrors and surroundings and not just the center screen.

    rear parking assist - retrofit

    Have a 2022 Refresh, just making sure I have not missed the availability of the rear parking assist - retrofit. It is a bit silly we may still be waiting, 2024s are about to start showing up...

    1/2” level in front, dropping rear a bit

    @RdHog - looking at potentially doing this with my Stock TB. Do you think the reverse level actually drops the overall height of the truck by any amount? I just posted in a different thread, I may be dealing with sixteenths of an inch of clearance for a parking garage.

    Height Clearance; Reverse level?

    I have an opportunity to switch parking garages for a better spot at work, but the posted height limit is 6.5'. Chevy claims the Trailboss is 78.35" tall (which works out to 6.525' - i.e. 6' 6 and 5/16") but does not differentiate between tire/wheel sizes (bringing this up since the 20" rims...

    Exhaust tips

    I like these as well from an ease of install perspective. Design-wise though, I really like squared-out quads on our bumpers. The borla versions are great, but they are not just bolt on tips and even more expensive (and also they are silver/chrome, not black). I am hoping someone more...

    Wonky infotainment system...

    So I have been just dealing with a laggy google system for a couple months. From start it could take a few or up to 10 minutes to actually boot up to be usable with inputting destinations, etc., which was worse if I did multiple starts and stops in succession, like running into store or day care...

    2024 GM Factory 6.2 Active Exhaust

    May be waiting a while to have someone crack this new GM electrical architecture. Hoping it can be done, cause seemingly the dealers won't/can't activate anything that was not on the original build anymore (talking about sport mode here, as with other features). Perhaps this will spur some...

    2024 GM Factory 6.2 Active Exhaust

    Looking at a recent post from Autoblog for the 2024 Silverado updates, pretty intrigued about a mention for a factory active exhaust system. Wonder if this could be added to our existing trucks. "The last change is the addition of a new Active Exhaust for Silverados with the 6.2-liter V8. This...

    Stillen TruPower air scoop + Roto Fab intake

    Not to hi-jack this thread - but you mention tow haul mode (presumably for 'spirited' driving). How would you compare that to the sport mode? Those of us refresh owners with the duratracs got shorted sport mode. Also, can't get the pulsar (likely yet) - but it appears we can get this ultimate9...

    LED Swap Out

    I did both of these Lasfits replacements and have been fine for a few months. I had one in the first pack of the reverse bulbs that didn't work. Tried dealing with the company directly for a single bulb replacement and they were non-responsive. So I ordered another pack and returned it. Sorry if...

    Ambient Lighting

    Thanks, this could be useful for different purposes. I am trying to find some simple small LED bulbs to place in the front footwells and under the front seats to light up the rear bench floor area that run off of the ambient light circuitry like the illumination around our USB ports. Nothing too...

    What are you putting in your Upper Glove Box (2022+ Refresh)

    So I went to put my mag light in the upper glove box, but couldn't find it, so it looks like I need a new flashlight for the truck. Anyway, curious as to what everyone is already storing in the upper glove box and if it is a flashlight, what model and how is it working out. Don't really want...

    Trailer braking

    I too am curious about this. does anyone have experience with having this fix installed prospectively? I have not yet hooked up to a trailer with brakes, but do not want t wait around until I do and being SOL for a known issue.

    Tonneau Covers

    I have this one as well, I would say the security is realistically about on par with the hard trifolds (I hade a BAK trifold on a previous truck). I use mine in the city, but do not leave lots of valuables in the bed unattended on a city street for large periods of time. These covers are more...
