New to me 2019
With the prices of new trucks astronomical and the fact that my ol' heavy chevy (08 Silverado Crew LT w/2LT) was rusting at an advanced pace, it was time to replace it. I scored this 2019 XLT Sport 3.5 w/max tow for a great price. I already threw husky liners in it, rear wheel liners, tailgate damper, new tailgate handle, plus the 8" cluster upgrade. The prior owner put LT tires on it, one size too big, so I will run them until they wear down. I just ordered the morimoto XBs from @umnitza big thanks to Matt for that awesome service. Next up, I will likely replace the fogs with 4-bangers and pick up some morimoto LED tails too! (Although I don't have BLIS). I live in Northern NY, so it's nice to have an all-aluminum body to "cheat" time before too much corrosion. I picked up an underbody 4-spout sprayer that hooks up to my pressure washer to assist with rinsing the salt away.
I have been lurking since January when I bought the truck and signed up a couple days ago!

Forgot to mention, the prior owner had the 10-speed transmission replaced under warranty about 10k miles ago. The starter was replaced at that time too. Auto Start-Stop is not working, so I imagine someone either installed something or fixed it with forscan. It came with factory tow mirrors. Eventually, I will try to use the search function here and try to figure out how to get at least the running lights and maybe puddle lights to work.
