You've got a very nice truck and glad it has treated you well. I would have kept the stock wheels but as someone below says it's yours to do with what you want. Nice sounding truck too!
Great video and I agree about the internet. I was researching the 2018 Silverado’s and almost did not buy one because of the horror stories. Then I looked up my vehicle and there were all kinds of horror stories about it too. Never had a problem with my car just routine maintenance issues,brakes,tires etc.
I also have a 2018 Silverado 4x4. I just finished lifitng it with an 8” lift kit and running 35x13.50R24’s. These past 2 yrs have been awesome with my truck. I haven’t had any issues with the exterior paint or anything mechanical. Interior is just as good as I brought home. So far it has 21k mikes on it. Next mod will be wheel well rock lights and interior ambient lights.
Great video! Honestly didn't think I was going to sit all the way through this. I am looking to purchase a 2018 Silverado Z71 and your video was veery informative.
I got the same truck but , it's metallic Silver and has the 342 gears with 24,000 miles bought it new . Mine had several radios replaced but a real solid truck and tows awesome 👍
the video. I bought a 2018 and 2019. I am a little hesitant when it comes to American vehicles, this is my first. I usually only by the Japanese. The tundra was on my list for years... But it was so boring that I had to question if I wanted to buy into the reliability of Toyota versus having a little more style and comfort stat the package Silverado had. ultimately I went with these Silverado and I just had my first year with it. Mine is a 2018 double cab LT with the 5.3. as much as I don't trust the American vehicles... This truck is not giving me any troubles. I'm happy I'm just looking into the future to see how long the honeymoon will last. I'm a DIY person and I take very well care of my vehicles. This is a truck that I use it for truck things, but I'm not being it up. glad you're happy with yours. I believe that mine will do just the same since they're very similar.
Congrats bud you bought the last year the GM trucks looked handsome. Because the 2019 and 20 look absolutely disgusting in my opinion 🤮 also hopefully you don't have any afm lifter failures. Since you've got the range box and I'm sure you're good on oil changes should be alright 👍
I’m thinking about getting my first truck and I definitely agree with you the truck is handsome i tell my wife this all the time 🤣 I ’m not into the 19 or newer models might be getting mine in October 😊 been watching videos on his truck this past month getting ideas of what I’d like to do I’m here after two years dang!
Really enjoy that truck myself man. And your very right about the forums. I bought a cat eye Silverado and joined a Facebook group and they were just so negative about a 15 year old truck?.... Great channel and content man.
I just bought the same exact truck and I’m in love bro it’s an amazing truck man mine lifted 6” and it has 35/12.5 in it with American force rims omg looks so sick man I love it
The newer paints suck..its all cars though. I like the color match tow hooks.. looks good like that.. overall it looks nice. Besides the "cheapness" inside they are okay trucks. I have a 2018...hate the 2019 and up front ends..happy motoring. Thanks for sharing
I’ve been thinking about getting the Diablo i3 for my 5.3. I’ve only seen reviews on installing it, but not much reviews on before and after performance. I’d like to see you review it before I go ahead and purchase it.
Es una verdadera hermosura algún día tendré una de esas exactamente como esa las mismas combinaciones de blanco y negro levantada de 6 a 8 pulgadas igual z71 blanca. Me enamore de esa chulada
Even my loaded Sierra doesn't have rear AC/vents lol. Glad you've had good luck with yours, my 2016 has been problematic since day one. It's something else every week it seems like.
My dads got a 2020 ram hemi, we raced a 5.3 Silverado and kicked it’s ass. We then got a chance to race my buddy’s Silverado with a 6.2 and he won by about half a truck. The 6.2 is a beast of a motor along with the 5.7 hemi.
I got a '16 Silverado that I bought new. With the leaf springs squeaking, what I did was spray the leaf spring bushings with GM Superlube which I use on everything else on the truck. I also use it on the A-arm bushings too. With the recall on the brake pressure, it'll take about 45-60 minutes of your time at the dealer. Just a computer update and I noticed a difference in mine. With your driver's side door speaker, check the screws on the door panel. They may have loosened a tad to cause a pop. With the wind noise, did you change the am/fm stereo antenna? I had no wind noise with the factory antenna but when I put a short aftermarket antenna on I got wind noise. I just open the driver's side window a crack and don't hear it. Don't know if you figured these problems out if not maybe this will help
I’m about to buy a 2018 Z71 and omg I love the tail lights. I’m looking into white or red. But I’m loving it in white seeing yours. 😍 new subscriber. Hope to learn a lot from you.
I heard GM has some pretty weak undercoating too. You should take a video of the frame of the truck to see how much undercoating is already worn off. My buddy has a 2018 Silverado 2500 and within two years of owning it his frame is already surface rusted and all his undercoating is already worn off.
I have the same exact truck, and living here in Minnesota has destroyed my front bumper paint. Literally looks like someone shot it with a rock salt shot gun shell. Love what you have done with your truck though! I am right at 28k mi and it hasn't given me one issue.
saying its a safety feature is bs. We have a 2018 2500 LTZ with every option and it still doesnt have auto up pon passenger sides. however gm puts auto up on base escalades lol
Well if you’re tires didn’t stick out past the fender wells it would not be all chipped up. Any paint is going to chip when hit by rocks all the time. As far as front bumper I am glad mine had chrome instead of paint
Great looking truck. I always ask how people like their vehicles and I know 6 people with 17’ or 18’ 1500’s and 4 of them have had major transmission problems or replacement before 70k miles. The other two have less than 30k miles still but seems like a major issue from GM. Not sure how common it is or if it’s completely coincidence that many people have had issues. Anyone else heard of these issues?
Truck looks great. Really abstract question. How does the a/c handle during the summer? Love the 2018 over the 19 body style but the 19s offer rear vents and 18s don’t. I have a little one now and my 06 F-150 doesn’t do so well w/ out vents in the back for the kiddo during Texas summers. I don’t want to repeat that issue but I really love this body style more than the new generation. Thanks!
My 18 does the speaker thing no popping but just like yiur put your leg against it goes away and certain songs same thing. Biggest fix was adding the range device! Fixed all the shity v8 v4 thing.
My 2003 RWD has 3,:42 axle. It helps the 5.3 move First time passing another it was more tgan expected. I treat my truck as if new once a new RSaT deceided to race thought what the hell as he floored then decided wonder how i do floored. He had 2 truck lenghts on me i caught him faater tgen clooud expect i waa wt his bumper when he let off due to traffic
How did your readylift uppers, seat into the spindle tapered hole? As in the tapered part of the balljoint? Did it seam to sit further out then stock? And so far I love my black 19' z71. Its a LD, so its the 18' body style. So far its got, 18x9 +1 offset fuel vector bronze wheels. 285/65s duratracs. T409 MBRP duels. Range technology. 3"motofab, 2⅓rear blocks. Diff drop spacers, shock extensions, and recently readylift uppers.
So I have a 2018 Ford F-150, not sure why I said Ford I’m sure you can tell from F-150, tuners don’t void warranty, that’s a lie some dealerships try to say. Some will not work on your truck cause a tuner but I have had to go to the dealership a few times and I take the time off, they say if you take it off they can still tell and all that but I know that’s a lie cause they have checked my codes and there has been no issue with the tuner. I forgot to take my tune off one time and they said they couldn’t read my codes I said that was dumb my tuner can read codes and they told me that it ruins the computer and all that crap, and I informed them that that was actually a lie because I’ve taken my tune off and dealerships had no clue about the tuner. My dad bought a new F-150 in 2011 and did the same thing if it had to go to a dealer we took the tune off and it was all good
They can tell if it has been tuned. Many dealers don't care to look over minuscule things. If you blow your engine and they feel like looking into it they can definitely void your warranty if they choose too.
Also if you don't already have one you need a carport for the ol gal it's usually the trucks that sit and bake in the sun day after day that eventually have paint issues and saggy headliners, ect.
The Brake pump recall I should have left it my truck has been back in 4 times now all of them the brake vacume pump is fryed I keep asking for my old one back 100 000 km on the old one litteraly on the new ones it's every other oil change
Just bought a 2018 gmc sierra denali and noticed the wind noise on the mirror. Only problem I've noticed is mildly hard shift first thing in the morning. Have you had that too? Nice truck!
How tall is the front of your truck from the ground to the fender with the 3" leveling kit and 33x12.5? I seen in your install video with the factory wheels it measured 40 1/2 after the level kit install.
What makes you not a diesel guy? Me and my old man have the same trucks except his is a gmc 1500 and mines a duramax 2500 Id never ever want his over mine. HUGE power difference and mpg mines better as well. So what makes you like the gas? I must say I Enjoy your channel and love your 1500 sounds amazing.
I’m chiming in late.Your setup is poking out with no mud flaps.Paint chips are inevitable.No paint job in the world will hold up.Even on hood gonna happen.Linex truck!!!
Any problems with that electric steering or carbon build up from the direct injection? 5.3 engine? Any dash rattles around the infotainment system or oil consumption? Does it run on E85 too?
Oil consumption is going to be your v4 99% of the time unless you have a leak. No rattles besides ones mentioned in video. No build up noticed and no e85.
Would carbon build up cause an odd idle, low exhaust sound, or anything like that? I’ve got no dash sensors but it starts and idles odd like the fuel system is caked up or engine buildup

had my 18 for 1 year , love it!
Got mine yesterday 😍
Great video and I agree about the internet. I was researching the 2018 Silverado’s and almost did not buy one because of the horror stories. Then I looked up my vehicle and there were all kinds of horror stories about it too. Never had a problem with my car just routine maintenance issues,brakes,tires etc.
i’m 19 years old and i bought myself a ‘17 z71 ltz crew cab and can’t wait to see how i look in it
what u work on men
Def one of my favorite trucks on the tubes. Keep it up 👍🏼
I also have a 2018 Silverado 4x4. I just finished lifitng it with an 8” lift kit and running 35x13.50R24’s. These past 2 yrs have been awesome with my truck. I haven’t had any issues with the exterior paint or anything mechanical. Interior is just as good as I brought home. So far it has 21k mikes on it. Next mod will be wheel well rock lights and interior ambient lights.
Great video! Honestly didn't think I was going to sit all the way through this. I am looking to purchase a 2018 Silverado Z71 and your video was veery informative.
Me too! Im really thinking about it
I got the same truck but , it's metallic Silver and has the 342 gears with 24,000 miles bought it new . Mine had several radios replaced but a real solid truck and tows awesome 👍
My favorite 2018 on TH-cam!

Appreciate and like your vids man. On my third new GM truck a “17” and has never let me down. Will purchase a nbs sometime 🤷🏻♂️
If you put the correct size tires and wheels on you wouldn't have chips.
Beautifull truck men!! Those cover seats and the color matching on the outside👌🏾
Congrats bud you bought the last year the GM trucks looked handsome. Because the 2019 and 20 look absolutely disgusting in my opinion 🤮 also hopefully you don't have any afm lifter failures. Since you've got the range box and I'm sure you're good on oil changes should be alright 👍

2019 Silverado LD has the old body style thats the truck i have
my dream car, and i’m 16 and just got a job, i can’t wait to buy it when i get the money
what did you get
Really enjoy that truck myself man. And your very right about the forums. I bought a cat eye Silverado and joined a Facebook group and they were just so negative about a 15 year old truck?.... Great channel and content man.
I can’t believe you drove all that way and I don’t think I saw one traffic light.
Good review and dead on. You are right about the paint.
I just bought the same exact truck and I’m in love bro it’s an amazing truck man mine lifted 6” and it has 35/12.5 in it with American force rims omg looks so sick man I love it
Did you have to do any trimming? Tires rub? I have 6" lift on mine as well but currently have 33s going to 35s in the spring.
What’s your mpg
The newer paints suck..its all cars though. I like the color match tow hooks.. looks good like that.. overall it looks nice. Besides the "cheapness" inside they are okay trucks. I have a 2018...hate the 2019 and up front ends..happy motoring. Thanks for sharing

I’ve been thinking about getting the Diablo i3 for my 5.3. I’ve only seen reviews on installing it, but not much reviews on before and after performance. I’d like to see you review it before I go ahead and purchase it.

Es una verdadera hermosura algún día tendré una de esas exactamente como esa las mismas combinaciones de blanco y negro levantada de 6 a 8 pulgadas igual z71 blanca. Me enamore de esa chulada
I got a 2016 ocean blue just like yours and I love it you got awesome truck brother

Beautiful truck

Absolutely gorgeous truck, besides those taillights. I can't stand them. However, it's your truck and you can do whatever you like. Nice truck man.
Fender flares will drastically reduce the rock chips, if Yu like those
‘14 LT z71 6” rocky ridge lift sitting on 35x12.50x20 and vision 20x10
fender flares also ruin the look of the truck
Blaming the GM paint when you run A Offset like that is pretty dumb. But good video.
Great looking truck. I always ask how people like their vehicles and I know 6 people with 17’ or 18’ 1500’s and 4 of them have had major transmission problems or replacement before 70k miles.

I really want this truck
What exhaust are you running if any ??? Missed that video.
Anybody still miss the obs?
I want this version like the all white or the black midnight I think it’s called they both look amazing
So there is Summit White, then there is the midnight edition. I own a 2020 Trailboss and I’m about to pick up a 18 Midnight edition
Truck looks great. Really abstract question. How does the a/c handle during the summer? Love the 2018 over the 19 body style but the 19s offer rear vents and 18s don’t.

Hay buddy how much did your
Level kit cost .
Parts and labor.
Kool truck. Thank you.
My 2003 RWD has 3,:42 axle.
It helps the 5.3 move
First time passing another it was more tgan expected.
I treat my truck as if new once a new RSaT deceided to race thought what the hell as he floored then decided wonder how i do floored.
He had 2 truck lenghts on me i caught him faater tgen clooud expect i waa wt his bumper when he let off due to traffic

My 2018 went 40000 miles and only had to replace starter ...important part
can i ask what’s on your taillights?? 😂 never seen that before.
Are you ever gonna change up the rims anytime soon, that bogger and replica set up had to be my favorite.
Good video 👌
How where the 22x12's in the snow if you ever have had them in the snow ? Looking to buy a 18 silverado truck looks slick tho! Love the the rims
there is a vent under the seats basically hidden
I got a 17 high country and noticed the wind noise like 3 weeks ago
I have a 2010 z71 in summit white. Rock chip city.
What you think about the new 2020 Silverado I’m not sure if go 2018 vs 2020 / thanks
Damn I’m about to hit 25k miles in 10 months lol. But I take my truck everywhere
Me too... My 2018 is only 1 year old and I have 19k miles on it. I am about to put another 4 k on it with this road trip.

Nice invisible trailer tower. How heavy is the invisible trailer?
How reliable has your truck any major problems, looking into buying the same truck.
Just needs a rebel flag sticker on the back window
The Brake pump recall I should have left it my truck has been back in 4 times now all of them the brake vacume pump is fryed I keep asking for my old one back 100 000 km on the old one litteraly on the new ones it's every other oil change
there was a recall issued by GM over the breaking system failing for the 4 wheel drive trucks. Was yours part of the recall?
Just bought a 2018 gmc sierra denali and noticed the wind noise on the mirror. Only problem I've noticed is mildly hard shift first thing in the morning. Have you had that too? Nice truck!
I had the same problem with my 2018 Silverado and you gotta let it heat up properly
Whats size are the tires/wheels ? Auttro trail blades or mt? Thanks 🤙🏻
I just bought 2016 GMC Sierra I want this range device. But I have AMP research running boards plugged into this port. How can I have both ?
You should put a lift kit on old larry
Why do I only get 12 mpg when all I have is k2 off-road 20s and 35s. I’m confused
I have 3.42s in my 07 4.8 ext cab. Sometimes it spins the tires lol
Does your temp gauge fluctuate slightly? Just got an 18 and it moves off of 210 to about 215 on the highway and up hills.
Just bought me a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado1500 ltz z71 redline edition with 4000 miles. Trying to figure out were to start!
That’s exactly what I bought a year ago new. Love the 6.2l engine.
Front 2.5 level. Custom rims. 33s.
How tall is the front of your truck from the ground to the fender with the 3" leveling kit and 33x12.5? I seen in your install video with the factory wheels it measured 40 1/2 after the level kit install.
Bro what brand exhaust are you running ?!?!
What's your take now
Tint your windshield 20%
Did u tint ur front headlights if not where can I get the same headlight they look nice
That’s a nice truck no🧢
Why not keep the mudflaps?
What's your occupation, if you don't mind me asking
Got the same truck and have several paint chips 🤦🏻♂️
64,000 2018 Silverado daily driver
Have you experienced any rust on the frame?
Did taking the rear blocks out make the ride quality go down? Thinking about taking mine out of my 18 f-150
Nope, its just a spacer.
Where did you get or order you center console from?? I want to ditch the middle seat in my 2017 chevy silverado.
Factory option
Can you link me to your seat covers?
Where did you get the headlight covers?
i had a 2008 and it was garbage. now i have a 2012 Tundra with 150k and its bulletproof. i couldnt be happier. come to the darkside
What did you plug into your OBD port?
Its a range, stops it from turning into V4, have it on mine.
who makes your seat covers?
Was that Larry at 4:04 ?
yep haha see the bedcover rails
What makes you not a diesel guy? Me and my old man have the same trucks except his is a gmc 1500 and mines a duramax 2500 Id never ever want his over mine. HUGE power difference and mpg mines better as well. So what makes you like the gas? I must say I Enjoy your channel and love your 1500 sounds amazing.
I like diesels but just prefer 1500s in pretty much every aspect.
lmfscrew but why? Diesels are better in every aspect MPG Hp Torque. Last longer. Hold value better. Change my mind.
Where did you get your seat covers
I’m chiming in late.Your setup is poking out with no mud flaps.Paint chips are inevitable.No paint job in the world will hold up.Even on hood gonna happen.Linex truck!!!
What wheel and tire setup u had at 5:44
What size are your wheels
I missed the nickname of the truck. What is it again?
Baby squat
That first comment is stupid with those tires there is no way you would get anything but paint cips!
Any problems with that electric steering or carbon build up from the direct injection? 5.3 engine? Any dash rattles around the infotainment system or oil consumption? Does it run on E85 too?
So I got a 2016 Z71 doublecab, and I haven't noticed too much carbon build up yet and the electric steering is a breeze imo.
Oil consumption is going to be your v4 99% of the time unless you have a leak. No rattles besides ones mentioned in video. No build up noticed and no e85.
Would carbon build up cause an odd idle, low exhaust sound, or anything like that? I’ve got no dash sensors but it starts and idles odd like the fuel system is caked up or engine buildup
