I have to say I really like this new Chevy front end. I think it's the best looking front on a Chevy truck since the last year that I liked was the '87 model.

Not really liking the 2016 all that much. Still,love the look of the 09 I have and do like the 15 model as well.. And like another poster had stated that the 69 was the best looking truck.. Yep I know I got one... A lot has changed from my 69 to my 09 but the 69 is a really cool truck all the way around.
A truck, a camper, a few toys, but most importantly a wonderful family.

So now we are going by looks on who has the best truck? I guess it has to be something!

I wonder if it`s still going to cost near $200 to replace a headlamp bulb? or is it going to be a grand now when the LEDs go bad?


$200 to replace a headlamp bulb hugh....?????? on my 2015GMC or 2004 Silverado replacing headlight bulbs is at most a 15 minute job, bulb is maybe $10.


Probably quoting dealer cost. And LEDs pretty much last forever. Much ado about nothing...

LED running lights, LED fog lights but you couldn't updated the headlamps GM? Come on...


GMC did a mid year TSB and update on the projector headlights. the originals on the 2015 2500/3500 were TERRIBLE. however after the TSB update I have to admit they rival my 2004 siverado qual lamps updated to have all 4 on in high beam and with HIR bulbs. And the low beam is extemely good IMHO AFTER the TSB or mid year change.

The update is a newer and better bulb, different aiming, and boosting the voltage to the bulb. Dealer was amazed at the difference after they updated mine.
