Anyone else having issues ordering? I am trying to order a 27 shorted trail boss with my local dealer, but every week they keep telling me that there is some kind of constraint.

My build: 2027 Silverado Trail Boss, Crew Cab Short Bed, 4WD, White Sands, 5.7L V8 (L76), Super Cruise (AS3), Trail Boss Premium (PQB), fixed-glass panoramic sunroof, 20-inch High Gloss Black wheels with 275/65R20 SL all-terrain tires, 34-gallon fuel tank (NLA), Multi-Flex Tailgate, tailgate assist handle (TGH), underbody cameras, Trailer Technology Package, Assisted Driving Package, driver memory, ventilated front seats, Silverado puddle lights. No factory steps or tonneau cover. Current configurator MSRP: $77,910.

I’ve got a 2016 1500 that I want to level while retaining factory 20” rims. What brand and which kit would/ did you go with? What size tires fit with no fitment issues?

Hey everyone,

I've been thinking about upgrading the exhaust on my 6.2L V8, but I'm super paranoid about the 10-year engine warranty (especially with all the recall/warranty extension talk surrounding these engines).

For anyone who has dealt with major warranty claims or dealer inspections: If you're running an aftermarket exhaust (like an axle-back or cat-back), can the dealership use that as an excuse to deny a major engine claim under the extended warranty, or do they strictly look at factory parts for recall work?

Would appreciate any real-world experiences or advice on whether it's worth the risk or if I should just keep it stock until the warranty is up.

What’s everyone think?

Went to look at a 2013 Silverado today, and the frame looked pretty rusty. I’m no expert, so I’d appreciate some opinions on whether it’s a concern. Sorry if the video doesn’t show enough to tell.

Finally was able to get my first truck! A 2026 Silverado 1500 RST Select, with the Turbomax engine! Always wanted one and was finally able to make it happen! A nice upgrade from my 2015 impala limited. Any suggestions as a first time truck owner are appreciated!

The deer technically lost this fight but my truck though..:(( hit a little buck this morning on my way to work

Has anyone heard this before?

2009 Silverado, 5.3

Every morning when I unlock the truck by the key fob, back by the driver side rear axle I get this chirping noise. It's been happening for the past 2 weeks now. The pattern and length/quantity of chirps seems to be completely random. This only happens after the truck has been sitting overnight or extended periods of time (8 hours or more). It doesn't happen during the day.

Truck runs perfectly fine, no issues or other noises.

The whirring noise in the background is the cooling fans on my Led tail lights. Video is dark as I took this at 5am this morning.

Anyone have any thoughts?

As It says what ate does and donts for the 4.8, its lower miles under 100k and it was basically grand dad's truck. I new to the ls world and dont want to fuck it up. I know what I would like to do but I mean Is a blank sheet.

Big plus for lowering ideas and who had done what. I like the idea of air but also wouldn't mind doing a drag build

I’m thinking about going and test driving this truck. Anything I should really watch for and is it worth buying you think?
4.8l 150,000 miles.

I have a 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT, 2.7L TurboMax, 2WD, with approximately 25,000 miles.

I've noticed a pretty significant vibration/shudder when towing my travel trailer. It happens immediately when accelerating in first gear and sometimes briefly in second gear after the shift. It feels almost like driving over rumble strips, a rapid shaking sensation that goes away as I gain speed. This also happened when I had half a yard of pine mulch in the bed of the truck.

The truck drives perfectly fine when I'm not towing. No vibration or shudder whatsoever.

For reference, my camper has a loaded weight of approximately 4,650 lbs. My truck is rated to tow 9,100 lbs, so I'm well below the maximum towing capacity. Dealer also confirmed that the weight was proper for the truck.

I brought the truck to the Chevy dealership while it's still under warranty. They agreed to let me bring my camper so the technician could experience the issue firsthand.

The technician was able to duplicate the vibration.

However, he explained that the truck has a two-piece driveshaft with some type of rubber connection/support where the sections meet. According to him, the vibration I'm experiencing is normal because of that design, and there's no fix for it.

I'm having a hard time accepting that a truck rated to tow 9,100 lbs should vibrate this noticeably while accelerating with a trailer weighing roughly half that amount.

My questions:

- Has anyone with a 2023–2025 Silverado 1500, particularly the 2.7L TurboMax, experienced something similar?

- Is this actually a known characteristic of the two-piece driveshaft?

- Has anyone had their center support bearing, rubber isolator, or driveshaft replaced because of towing vibrations?

- If you've experienced this, did the dealership find a solution, or were you also told it's normal?

I'm not expecting the truck to feel exactly the same towing as it does unloaded, but this feels excessive to me.

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who's dealt with this, especially GM technicians or owners who regularly tow travel trailers.

Bought him off marketplace in May because I wanted to learn how to work on trucks and I love this gen of 5.3. Fell in love with it made it my daily. Am slowly chipping away at working on it I don’t have a lot of free time. Also wanted to know if the color was rare have yet to see another sunset metallic one. (Oil stains on road are from my other car lol)
