What about Black Silverado/Sierra Photos?


Recommended Posts

14 LT 4.3L 2WD

Any specific reason you went with the small V6 engine instead of the more common 5.3L V8? I don't see many V6 GM trucks in my area, most dealerships only stock the 5.3L, 6.2L 1/2 ton pickups. It was very rare to find the 4.8L on dealer lots also. If you wanted eith the V6 or smaller V8, they usually have to do a dealer trade or order one for you.

 

Nothing wrong with that engine, just curious as to why you made the decision to go small in the full size pickup. I am not really up to speed on the current V6 GM engines but I did own 3 different S10's with the Vortec 4.3L and it was a strong little engine, thirsty, but strong.

 

After having your truck for a while, how do you like that engine so far?

My dealership was trying to get rid of their 2014s. Msrp for this truck was 39k. I paid 30K. Brand new. At that time i was looking at the 5.3L and ppl kept complaining about the engine. The 4.3L has enough power for me and im impressed about it. I didn't buy this truck to haul or save gas but back in March i drove from NJ to FL and got 27MPG which surprised me. I love this truck and even when its dirty, i still get looks.

I had a 2015 SLE double cab 2 wd 4.3 as a loaner last week. For normal driving, it was the same as my 5.3. The DIC showed 18.3 where I average 14.8 or so. It was very smooth and ran great.

That midnight edition looks amazing!!

Thank you sir, it gets a bunch of looks from all ages. It surprises me the attention it gets from both genders. The wife gets a little jealous when the ladies act like she's not right next to me. She made the comment "I think I'm going to have to drive it only... because of all the women checking you out" I said, "that's fine as long and you bring them home to me also, i don't care." lmao. She punched me in the arm...it hurt...that's how i know she was mad.

Here is a picture of mine after I cleaned it up a couple of months ago. Nothing special been done to it except I debadged the tailgate and painted the front bowtie black. I am still debating if I want to take the silverado emblem off the doors or not but haven't had time to deal with it.

New to forum..

Just picked up my new truck last week. Now I have to decide what to modify to make it my own d699b39e5c10c9cd0f01536ea8adc37c.jpgbd1e44e606ec033a22c3589d8137cb14.jpgb09a3863060dd13c4f166ae4788a40d8.jpg

If it was mine, I would swap out the mirror caps and door handles for black ones. Only because there's nothing else that's chrome on the truck. I like some chrome, but not a lot and the chrome needs to be in the right places. Having just the mirror caps and handles chrome doesn't look right to me on a black truck where nothing else is chrome. Just my opinion though.

I would black out your front and rear GMC emblems, and I would either black out our remove your All Terrain Badges and your sierra on the rear. I plasti dipped mine black. Tint your Windows too
