Big things going on over here. Removed the front tow hooks. Why didn’t anyone tell me to remove these before ?!! Winter I’ll slap them back on. Two 18mm bolts. Took 5 minutes. View attachment 228141 View attachment 228140 View attachment 228142 View attachment 228143 View attachment 228144

Free mod

Nobody told you to take them off because they look cool.

now put them back, please.

Welcome to the no tow hook club! Haha. I ditched mine three years ago when another member sold me his Denali down under grille! Free and a little more difficult on my truck but well worth it! And I haven’t needed to use them since haha
And ye will throw it out there, I’m not a fan of giant wheels and itty bitty tires. Lol. I like the 20s way better on your truck! So clean and classy and flows well with your color!

Biggest I would go is 24s. But 20s and 22s are perfect for our years. Those 6s were cool for looks but not my particular taste. I like to keep it classy not flashy.

I don’t have the hooks nor the cutouts either.

Actually you should look into getting those false holes filled and smoothed out. That would look clean

You take great selfies.

Remember LS (not motor..lol) so no special stuff added.

No tow hook holes to fill. Just the indents next to the fog lights.

I know , I’ve seen them on a few Tahoe’s , base models or just 2wds. But if you filled and smoothed those indents that would look super clean. French then in if you will do there’s no indent at all.

Also I just remember seeing another valance but have no idea what it came off of. Has a large opening in the middle . Maybe off a 2500/3500?

Normal valance

Other valance

Yeah I knew you would go a step further and say fill them in for more of an SS look.

Would be cool, but low on the list of priorities.

Like your way of thinking though.

Oh so like the 8.1 burban , gotcha. I actually saw that valance on a 3500 Silverado yesterday. I’m not in love with it, too many holes for me, I like smooth. But would be cool if you need a spot for a light bar.

Yeah not too good looking IMO.

Parked it because it was dead after sitting over the weekend. Was sitting all weekend while I was out of town and I think one of my nieces or nephews were playing with the lights and killed the battery. Jumped it. Drove it to work and it died there. Next day had the battery charged at autozone. Hasn’t died while sitting parked over night but will lose power and die while running. The idle is very low and goes up and down between 400rpms and 750. No codes. Battery is 2 years old, alt is 3. Some were saying throttle positioning sensor, but wouldn’t that throw a code?
