Today was adding Red MGP caliper covers and swapping out those chrome lug nuts with Black! Could not have been easier.

Ordered the Official GM recommended Dash Camera. (GM Part #19540254) Have over 32,000 GM Rewards Points, so it's only costing me Tax & Shipping, about $36. Once it gets here, and I've scoured the instruction sheet, I'll decide if I want to install it myself, or have my Chevy Dealer do it. I'm kinda sensitive about tearing out the interior of a brand new truck to run wires, myself. Even with the labor charges, I'll still come out ahead. If the dealer screws something up, it'll get fixed. If I screw something up, I'm fucked. I'll provide feedback, after I get it in.

If anyone has already done this, please let me know what I'm in for.

Changed out the factory tires for 295/60/20 Bridgestone all-terrain R03’s. Added a 1.75 readylift leveling kit and swapped out the chrome lugs for black. Also added red rough country caliper covers. The new tires and stance are so sexy. Best $3000 I’ve spent in a long time.

stunning. Especially with the caliper covers. Those look just like BFG AT KO3s to me :)

Thank you. You sir are correct about the tires. Guess I should proof read my replies. I love the look. I stressed out about which tire I should go with, but I could not be happier with the KO3’s.
 
has anyone notice the howl the BFG has after about 15K miles ???

seriously curious...i really wanted to return to liking the BFG...but 2 sets now with 20K miles have howled so badly...they were removed and replaced.

And that is our company Fleet Manager making those calls...to my surprise, my truck was returned with Toyo AT 3's

I too used the points program and had this one installed. My last dash cam was a Red Tiger in a Tahoe and loved it. This was before syncing with the app to view videos and events. Now with this Stinger in my 24 TB that should show clips I cannot get it to sync anything with the app, and the time of shared video on the 256 mem card are sketchy at best. I have been back to the parts dept at the dealership a couple times and still does not work with the app. According to Stinger, OPSIS is the company, support they gave me a list to follow which I did, still nothing. They did however reveal that the cam Chevy gave me is an older model of the owners manual that came with the cam. I also worked with onstar and they led me through locating OPSIS on my networks list on my iPhone, three more steps and it worked. Until the next start up. Hope you have better luck with yours? I'll replace it soon with another Red Tiger. Good luck!

Happened to me too. Tires started cupping at low milage, would howl around the 50mph range. Replaced with general grabber atx and theyve been great going on 5 years. When i bought a second trail boss that only had <14k miles i just immediately replaced the crap factory tires.
 
Today, changed my oil and dumped out and cleaned my catch can. I have an extension piece attached. But, as you can see, I still had some room in the regular size can (excluding the extension piece) after 5400+ miles.

Is this on a regular tb or the 3.0 diesel tb
 
i can typically drain about 3 oz of fluid from my can....same setup as you, extension as all
I am seriously astounded how much crap "could" go back into the intake manifold without these catch cans. Crazy!
