Bad to the Bone !

 

Congrats on your new truck.

 

Welcome, and congrats! You'll love it, I love mine!

Tips:
1. Push all the fuses in fully, under the hood and in the passenger footwell.
2. Make sure to turn off both the automatic OTA (Over The Air) update settings or it WILL brick your truck with a dead battery constantly searching for updates. Note: Be sure to check those settings every time you get back from the dealer (they turned mine on without me knowing....aaannnd it bricked my truck), and just check them every so often and after EVERY update.
3. Buy a good trickle charger SPECIFICALLY designed to charge these AGM batteries and use it if your truck sits for a couple days like mine does every week.
4. Buy a good jump starter for AGM's and keep it in the truck.

Best of luck!

 

Honestly if I had to do all that I would sell the truck. I have done none of those things on my 24 ZR2 and it sits for weeks at a time without being started and the battery has never once failed nor has the truck even acted like a low battery when starting.

 

Congrats!

Assuming you didn’t need the size of the Silverado, the ZR2 Colorado is better in every way! You’ll love it!

Thanks......what tip did you end of getting? I'm searching now and kind of steering towards the black chrome on my ZR2.
Already ordered a hard tonneau cover.

I got it off Amazon. When I went back to look at items I'd ordered, it now shows as unavaliable. The Rhino one HERE I believe would be a good choice.

 

 

A lot of the tips are too long, I cut my tailpipe down, painted from the muffler back black (as well as the spare heat shield) and used this tip with some modified bolts.

Nice color. I went with the Chevy exhaust tip in black chrome.

I installed the Go-Rhino exhaust tip a few months ago. I am please with the quality, fitment, and appearance. I purchased it off Amazon. Here is the link and a pic of it installed on my 2025 Z71...

I just purchased the same last night after advice on this forum.......your pic & post confirms it was a good choice!
I ordered it from Real Truck as the one on Amazon is now only available as a used part.
Thanks!

 

Congratulations on your new ride !

 

Here's a delivery day picture..........Today!

Time for accessory installs!

 

Damn looks good nice wheels too

 

Congrats and happy birthday! That’s the best red ever

 

Good luck, if it's anything like mine you'll be very sorry

 

Very nice.

 

Is it a V6? I read where they were going to do that.

 

Just purchased a 2026 ZR2 and pick it up next Tuesday on my Birthday!!!
I'm pumped........traded in my Silverado (excellent trade given IMHO) as I no longer need a full size truck and looking forward to a little smaller and more aggressive looking truck.
btw - Anyone know the size of the exhaust? I want to get some accessories ordered and exhaust tip is on my list.

This baby is mine.....

No, there is no V6 for the 3rd gen.

 

Nice. My 2025 is same color. Got a factory order so I could add a few of the options (underbody cameras, block heater).

The tall pipe is 3 inch outside diameter. I got a dual outlet tip from summit racing 3 inch inlet 24 inch outlets.

 

I put this system on my 24' ZR2 about a month ago and love the way it made it sound.

Got the Go-Rhino tip….
Love the way it looks!

 

Got the windows tinted today.......IMHO looks sweet on the dark red.
Love the look and so much cooler inside and no need for sunglasses!
