Xyster101 Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Test drove all kinds of trucks and finally settled on this new Silverado 1500. I drove Rams, Tundras, Chevys, and Nissans. I was looking at used for the price, but I get the GM discount and I just could not pass that offer up. First new car to me. Anyone have the "Rhino Liner" or equal? I was thinking of getting it, $500 including the side rails. I was thinking of having inside the rear fenders sprayed also to protect it from rusting out. It has Leather Reverse camera and sensors Heated mirrors 20" wheels Side steps tow package 5.3l V8 http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq342/xyster101/cars/truck_zpsf7538285.jpg http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq342/xyster101/cars/truck3_zps5e0cc971.jpg http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq342/xyster101/cars/truck2_zps26ad43e1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otis Nice Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Looks great. Dad is looking for a brand spankin' new truck. Loves his last 2 fords but is looking for the right deal. Has a dealership offering him a stellar deal and great trade in. Got him looking at the Eco-Boost, but I dunno. Without telling what you paid, what are these going for? Yeah, I've looked online, but we all know online is very different than what they sell for to anyone who isn't an absolute fool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Automatic LOL? Mind if I find out what you paid for it? Max, try Fluid Film for the underside. You'll need a creeping rust inhibitor for upstate NY winters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderboy Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Very nice! Thats one hell of a trucky, its taken a while but, the new body style is starting to win me over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll need a creeping rust inhibitor for upstate NY winters! Auto. . . no one offered a stick unless I got a diesel truck for $60k. The truck was $42k MSRP and with the employee discount I got $7k off. There was another $1k for trade in on top of your trade in. I was going to get $3,500 for my Element plus $1k but I sold it for $5k to a high school kid and his dad. I ended up putting $15k down with the money from the Element and some extra. $397 a month payment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berto Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Nice truck, didn't realize that they didn't offer manuals anymore, thats really depressing. I wouldn't recommend rhino lining the wheel wells, if its not done right gunk and water will get behind (faster rusting than leaving it alone) it and rust away before you have a chance to do anything. Get the real rust proofing if you're going to do that. Also for the dodge they had a rear fender well option. I like it because it keeps crap off the metal and also keeps gravel from jumping up and chipping the paint. Not sure if the Chevy has that option. Rhino line/ line-x is a must. Just don't get any oil or fuel on it, it'll eat it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Nice truck, be sure to throw a 2" TGC level on it http://www.topguncustomz.com/p-6466-tgc-2-07-13-gmcadillac-1500-pickup1500-suv-front-leveling-lift-spacers.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I think those level kits make them look as if there is reverse rake. I'd rather have it stock stance imo. OP, good looking truck, great color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty2Hotty Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Bilstein 5100's if you want a leveling kit. Nice truck. I may be trading brands when the 14' GMC's come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the real rust proofing stuff for the wheel wells? Chevy has plastic fender liners for $150 installed ($120 DIY). I thought the Rhino would be better for $200 Where do I find a applicator for Fluid Film around here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Great trucks, don't pay any attention to GM's maintenance schedule and you'll have a long lasting happy truck. What I mean is stick to the 3-4k miles for oil changes, not the stupid oil life monitor, and use quality oil since there are more sensitive parts in that engine then just bearings, like cylinder deactivation. Do not wait more then a couple years to change out the coolant. Anyone with a late model GM should follow these basic guidelines. If you don't believe me I'll be happy to explain some of my experiences working on these at the dealership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goofy as in it rides level with the front life but then the rear end is sagging when the bed is loaded. Where currently it rides with the front low and then rides level when full.

Ryan218 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Go with line-x stronger material. And much better looking texture. Pay the extra 100 and have the uv coating done that why your nice black liner don't fade to great exipically if your going to have the rails done.
