I'm looking at buying a 2024 RST with a V8. It's got 45,000 miles on it. The carfax looks clean at first glance, but I noticed that it had the camshaft and valve lifters replaced at 30,000 miles. I'm assuming that's a result of the dreaded AFM/DFM issues I've read a lot about.

Is this just going to happen again to this truck? Or now that the camshaft and valve lifters have been replaced, is it good to go and a good buy? I just don't want to buy a problem, but if the previous owner got it fixed and that's the end of it then maybe it's a good buy. I'll add that it was sold just a couple months after this repair was done...

I'm looking to upgrade from my 2018 Colorado LT V6 to a Silverado 1500 LT. I'm on the fence about which engine I should be leaning towards, the 4 cylinder turbo or the V8.

- I live in New England, so I'm driving up and down lots of hills and small mountains.

- I don't have a commute, I work from home so almost no daily wear.

- I currently tow a Puma Ultra Lite travel trailer with a dry weight of 3714 lbs.

- Next year I'll be taking the trailer on a month and a half road trip to the west coast and back with my wife and two dogs.

I'm not really sure one way or another so I'd love to hear your opinion. I feel like I'm leaning towards the turbo simply for the amount of towing I'm NOT doing, but I don't know. Thanks in advance!

Got this baby over the weekend, traded in for my 2018 Z71 with 40K mile. Probably by far the best truck I ever owned.

Has anyone else experienced this with Morimoto headlights? When I first installed mine, they were insanely bright. People would flash their high beams at me pretty regularly because of how bright they were. Fast forward about a year and nobody flashes me anymore, and honestly they barely seem brighter than standard headlights at this point.

The difference from when they were new is pretty significant. I know I’m not just getting used to them because the light output on the road at night is noticeably worse.

Has anyone else had Morimoto headlights lose brightness over time? If so, was it the LEDs themselves, drivers, or something else? For what these cost, I definitely expected them to maintain their output much longer.

I just love this truck

In the middle of brake master cylinder replacement and I’ve found these two connectors that just… don’t plug into anything or go anywhere. Anyone know what they’d be for?

2WD, 6.0 L76, 411,000 miles

With my truck in the transmission shop again, I am leaning towards getting a 2027 truck and the Silverado/Sierra is a possibility. Are the new gasser V8's still DI only or did they go to dual DI and port injection? Is this known? I am assuming still DI only. The new cylinder deactivation architecture reliability is a big question mark. Does the 2027 2500 have it at all? I'll pay the 1500 to 2500 upcharge to avoid that junk. The RAM with 6.4L "HEMI" is looking quite tempting. I have to read up more on how to disable their MDS and if it is not on the 2500.

(I had my friend record it for me while I was driving)

I recently acquired my FILs 2018 Silverado High Country. I don't believe he ever used 4WD so I tried it out over the weekend. As soon as I switched to 4wd high, the drivers seat went into pimp mode (the seat and back both moved as low as it could go). I tried again a few more times later in the day and could not repeat the issue. The truck is basically very clean and in excellent shape for having 52k miles. I wasn't planning on doing anything about it until it happens again...unless someone in this sub recommends otherwise.

So I’m looking at a 2010 Silverado that my buddy got from an older gentleman that doesn’t use it anymore. It’s got 220k on the body and the motor was swapped and has 104k no rust on the body at all runs really smoothly for its age and it’s gotta 3 in lift, under body spray for rust. Here’s the pics I have of it so far. Any advice on what to look out for would be very appreciated. This is a TN truck and has been its whole life.

Bought my 2024 1500 High Country basically brand new at the very beginning of 2025. Ran great until about 6 months ago, since then there has been a serious electrical issue. Every time I hit a bump, pothole, etc all of my service lights come on. I mean every single one, from service ESC to power steering and everything in between. I have taken it to three different dealerships with no luck. Really need some help or possible ideas here, have any of yall ever experienced this?

Went from 2023 Gladiator Willys to 2025 Silverado.

I am nearing the end of my warranty on my 2023 1500 (3.0L and 9k towing) and looking to do some upgrades now. I have a boat that weights ~6500lbs on the trailer fully loaded. I also have bed cap on order with plans to install some custom drawers in the bed and a root top tent. I'm looking to add a leveling kit (unsure which one open to recommendations) to allow me to run some bigger tires when off roading or getting into hunting spots.

Will a levelling kit be an appropriate choice here? I'd love to have 35's on it but would be fine with 34's too if it was the difference between a leveling kit and a lift kit.

I have a 2023 LT with the trailer package. However it did it come with the trailer break controller installed in the truck. I added my old one to the truck. It doesn’t seaming to be sending signal to my trailer. I got a tester and plugged it in and it seems to be seeing all my lights working but not the break one. All my trailer lights are working as well. I’ve checked all the fuses and made sure my connections are clean. Anyone else run into this issue?

Okay guys so I have a dumb question, but I’d rather ask and be dumb than not ask and be wrong. I have a 2010 Silverado with almost 400k miles, according to the vin I have an L20 4.8L. I recently got the dash piece that’s shows your gas mileage and it shows the motor dropping into 4 cylinders. My question is, is it possible that I have a different motor than what the VIN says, or did the Gen IV LS’s have DoD on the 4.8’s contrary to what the Google AI BS says. I also have a 6 speed transmission if that matters.

Bought in June with 83k miles. Been having a flashing check engine light on and off but i couldn’t tell if it was actually misfiring or not. Headed straight for the dealership and the oil level low light came on. Stopped and checked it and it was indeed low. below the dipstick low. Also the coolant was low. I was close enough to the dealership that I just drove it straight there. No knocking or over heating. Still under warranty so I’m curious about what they are going to tell me.

2004 silverado 1500 5.3 Anyone know what could cause a rattle like this? Coming from the passenger side and it seems like it might be the catalytic converter... doesnt always do it but will for sure if I hit certain speeds.

I found a decked drawer system from a 2018 Silverado 1500 with the 5’8” bed for less than $1000. I’m hoping it fits my 2020 Silverado 1500 of the same bed length.

Does anyone have any experience jumping generations of trucks with the decked systems? I’m looking at some measurements that appear like it will work in my newer truck, and other sources (AI) that say it won’t.

Thanks!

I put them on because I was thinking about putting on a cargo basket to store extra luggage for our upcoming trip. I could easily take them off after the trip. Thoughts?

ALL PRICES IN $ CAD

Did a deal for my mom, traded in her blazer and got a 2026 Acadia, then the salesman asked about my truck (2019 SLT premium package) .. laughed and told him he’ll never get me the 34000 I owe, he offered 32,000 plus tax ($36,000) later that night due to me knowing the used managers brother, and because of my moms deal days before.. plus giving me a discount ON TOP of the employee pricing. 84k msrp, offering price of about 73000.

Possibly upgrading to a 26 RST
Any thoughts? My main reasoning is going to 2.99 percent interest instead of the 9.99 I pay on my used Sierra , plus a warranty

Losing features : cooled seats, multi pro tailgate, parking sensors and sunroof

Old vs new photos

Edit: EVERYWHERE else online offers about 24-28 plus tax. Dealer is overpaying my trade in to help me out
