The green valve stems are for the dealership to know you have nitrogen filled tires
💀
I think the small amount of chrome in the grill looks nice on the midnight.
I wish I never watched this video. My god.
Jacob Bly is that you Bro 🤣🤣🤣
Wow it sounds like they forced you to buy the damn truck 😐
MultiNomanches gun to my head 😭
Chris French i wasn’t expecting that 😆😂 i have the same truck same color except mine is a 1500. only thing i dislike about it is that it feels so weak compared to my old one (2011)
Bruh if ur gonna complain so bad why did u buy the truck? 🤔🤔🤔🏌🏾♂️🏌🏾♂️🏌🏾♂️
LOLOLOLOL
U got a Dope truck i love mines! My L5P IS DELETED lmao check my ig page @dmaxbjay
DmaxBjay doubt it
right, you didnt see these interior "problems" when you test drove it?
yeah bro his for sure, a young guy can't make money and have nice things, LOL dumbass
@Rottman 2017
I doubt I'd complain if my mommy and daddy bought me a truck.
Dustin Mullins yeah I wouldn’t complain either. But when you pay for your own shit, you have the right too. Fuck off 👌🏻🔥
no comment? didn't think so loser.
Chris French fuck the haters man. I am in love with the midnight edition Duramax styles. I am hoping to get one down the line!
You sound like a absolute douchebag my man. Honestly
On the steering wheel my dad had the same issue amazon sells a pre cut vinyl sticker in any color or texture you want for cheap
I agree that the green valve stem caps were stupid but that’s to show that the tires have nitrogen in them.
You see thats good information to know.
It’s just 5-10% more nitrogen then regular air
cry baby
all there is you bitching in youtube comments LOLOLOLOLOLOL
I don’t care about tuning..............
The DEF tank gets you mad........
You probably like salads over steak, and most definitely a soy milk type of dude.
Are you stupid? I mean im not a HP whore who just wants to say I have 600 HP to drive down a high way with speed limits? LOL VICTOR are you dumb? GM engineers could have EASILY put it somewhere else. Complaining about a cosmetic FUCK UP by the manufacturer is not. And actually a salad before my steak isn't tooooo bad lol. Thanks for the view though and comment it helps in YT algorithm, even when you hate you help GG loser.
The green valve stem caps are put on for your benefit, green caps mean you have nitrogen, air without moisture in it which is better for your tires and keeps the tire pressure from changing dramatically “in your tires and not regular air so a tire shop and or anyone else who puts air in your tires will know you paid extra up to 20$ a tire and don’t put reg air in your tire.
They were for nitrogen arent they? As far as the valve stems.
Beautiful truck brother. I’m looking into 2500 duramax Chevy or the gmc
Homelink works the same on all 3 manufacturers. Garage door openers are different and have different frequencies and security codes... So you need to "teach" the system the codes coming out of your garage door fob. Since most codes are "rolling" you might not have exactly matched the rolling of the opener fob and your truck. So then you need to program the trucks "roll" to the garage door opener.
I agree about the seats. My buddies 2011 Laramie longhorn has heated seats in the rear. Also have you noticed there no rear vents in the rear 😂?
Were the tires filled with Nitrogen. By law you have to mark it.
Non tuneable and gay wheels are the reason you hate your dads truck?
LOL still mad Mr Clyde sir? whats your IG so I can check you out MR SIR.
Chris French okok I’m sorry. I drive a gay lb7 🙈 Instagram is dead I don’t get on it a lot
No problems with tuning now. But you can always go with a Banks Derringer & keep warranties.
5:45 - LOL That would bug me too. Time to get the sharpie out. I'll remember that for when I get my midnight. Hope to have one next year.
Valid complaint about the chrome, silver & grey fake carbon fiber. 1 of the 2, silver or carbon fiber would come off & get matched.
A tiny bit of chrome and green valve step caps. Nothing to be crying about looks good to me
Genius video haha love it
Judging by the commented I concur
Green caps have always been for nitrogen filled tires. Did you remove them? Lol.
The interior designers are thinking “profit” and carry over ability. That chrome door handle is used on 85% of their trucks. Making another 6 or 8 parts to make the thing match would have cost $250 more per truck and the cost cutters say NO ...as if adding $275 more to the sticker and making it right will matter lol
Sick truck!
My dad has this same truck with eltric steps and turned and new exhaust. Good truck
Do you have any mechanical problems? How many miles do you have…..im interested in buying one
What size lift tires and wheels do you have
I'm hoping this is a joke. The truck is really well done from the factory. I have the 2016 2500HD Midnight Edition with the Vortex 6.0. No def tank, no def, no worries. Unless you're pulling heavy things all day every day the diesel doesn't really make sense to me for the $11,000 up charge. With the gasser you get all the heavy duty with none of the diesel issues. Sure it's worse gas mileage and less torque/hp, but the diesel is overkill for my daily driver. The Vortex 6 is super reliable and plenty powerful.
The chrome billet in the bottom of the bumper over the cooler grill isn't stock, didn't come that way. Comes with a hole there. I'd eliminate that, there are black ones on Amazon that say Duramax, Z71 or a Punisher one. Green value stem covers indicate nitrogen in the tires. Why don't you have the full floor covers in the rear? Mine came with them that cover the entire back floor with 2 pieces. Should have got the split bench in the front instead of the full buckets, less chrome; plus you get a secret lockable storage compartment in the seat. I'd be interested to see what it looks like on the inside when you turn the Chrome accents black, I'm going to guess it will look worse.
Anyway, nice truck, love it, like mine. Looking forward to more mods. Interested in doing more myself.
There is no way that eliminating the chrome inside will make it look worse.
Should've bought a 6.2l 1500....
The diesel pays for itself if you trade your vehicles out every 5 years. The 6.0 is built like a brick shit house but it is a complete dog.
What lift tires and wheels do u have
Hey Chris. Nice truck. I just bought the same truck without the sunroof. I agree with the YELLOW bowtie on the steering wheel. It looks awful. Let me know how you go about changing it to black. Thanks
check out mark Decola's video on how he painted his, ill be doing the same.
You can get vinyl, razor blade, and heat gun to cover the bow tie. I’ll take a look at the paint pen video though.
What's worse though, Chevy having crappy standards? Or the fact that he missed all this crap before he decided to sighn the agreement 😂
Get BlackVue front and rear dash cam ,Remove chrome from lower grille its not even supposed to be there from factory,Debadge,Blackout chrome lines on grille,Do good quality full LED conversion,Get Black LED taillights and black LED third brake light.
CarPro Installs I like your style, dash cams for sure, I’ll be replacing my bumpers and my grille so I’m not going to change them until that.
Chris French get the blackvue front and rear dash cam,full LED conversion.Stubby antennae,and debadge it.
CarPro Installs 😎😎😎
Chris French tint the amber
The smaller silver grille is after market that’s not stock and the green valve stems definitely not what they come with
I love everything about the truck but the rear bumper. I wish the step bumper was optional. Your truck looks badass
Thanks man I appreciate it. I think the step is more novelty than anything these days.
So why did you buy it?
I love my 2500hd .... if you don’t like your truck that’s why a lot of us customize it to fit our own personalities..
Looks sick
Thanks
That's a lot of hate lol...I also have a few things I don't like about my L5P but the good out weigh the bad by a long shot! I agree with the tune issue I think they have plenty of power as they are and no need to change it...for a heavy truck they feel very light on their feet.
You can't have everything blacked out. It needs some contrast. I have a 2016 Dmax and I love everything about it. Honestly a lot of people are right. If all those things bothered me I would of gone with something else. When I bought my truck I made sure I loved everything about it.
It's this a troll video? I understand your complaints for a "midnight" trim but it's only an exterior"package". It's like the trail boss trucks. The expectation was hyped and it's more basic than custom like the sticker says
They aren’t going to make all those parts separately for every edition....
Totally agree with you on why they would have all those colors. I'd want it all to be the same
If it was only one color then it would have been so bad, but 3 colors all right next to each other...... lol
Most of the time the special edition trimming on vehicles doesn't mean the interior. And most people would complain about all black, because it would look boring.. Most of Your complaints are on small things you could change with a few dollars. My problem is the def tank and no rear vents.
liltaz1225 dude no rear vents is fucking crazy, going to have some retro fitted in my next build.
Nice truck 👍🏻
thanks man
Came to drop a like and just to comment just because
Green valve stem caps means they’re filled with nitrogen and not just air
Did you put chrome piece in th bumper where the GAO is for the trans cooler is ? either way take it out it’s tacky
no it came like that, my bumpers are shipping today so it will be gone soon.
id rather have it look tacky. than a rock thru the trans cooler.
One thing you forgot, which is #1 complaint for me - no AC vents in the back seat area!! What?!? Yeah, no vents. I have to point the middle 2 vents to the back all the time. Sucks!!
holy crap I forgot lol I'm getting some just fabbed eventually
Chris, we didn’t find out about the lack of AC vents in the back area until after we bought the truck. We almost returned it for a refund. :) Come on Chevrolet, this is Texas! We need AC vents!!
It’s placed like it was an afterthought like they forgot to put it in
I have the same truck and none of these thing bothered me . You knew what you were buying . they dont hide it when you bought the truck. i spent $2500 to blackout the truck. not that big of a deal. do you really HATE this stuff or is it a minor inconvience? what i actually hate about this truck is the tan headliner that they wont let you change
Taylor Guglielmino and halogen,chrome grille lines,long antennae,and yellow badges.
Taylor Guglielmino yeah the headliner is insane IMO, should have been black but I’ll get that fixed soon or later too. But it’s the fact that I’d have to spend $2500 extra on stuff that could have came black. You changed so you agree with me.
the majority of my cost was putting a new bumper on. but yeah i do agree but they werent things that i looked at my truck and was like damn that shits stupid. every vehicle ive owned ive made modifications to, not because i thought the company did a poor job but because i wanted to make it mine
Taylor Guglielmino you can’t tell me they did a good job picking the 3 random interior colors, Helen Keller could have done better.
Should of got a Ford or Ram n you wouldn’t be complaining bout the def tank...
no im not a fucking loser
@@chrisakafrench clearly your a whiney fucking baby tho
@@bt3065 you’re *
Compared that truck to ford enough didn’t you? Go buy yourself a 6.7 so you can make a video about how fords are different from GM lmao
Daddy won't buy him another one...
IF...you had done some research you would realize that the GREEN valve stem caps signify that the tires have been filled with nitrogen instead of just common air. Nitrogen doesn't "bleed out" of tires like air does.
The green caps denote nitrogen 😂
The only 2 things you can hate on a lifted midnight edition duramax are the payment and the MPG. Otherwise you have bad taste in trucks because it's badass. And the MPG can be good if it's PPEI tune it and DPF/EGR deleted but that cost like 6-7k all together so most people won't do it.
Anthony J you gain saved per gallon would not pay its self off for years in terms of deleting so it’s not worth it. I though midnight edition meant black not 3 different interior color options. And you only have payments if you can’t afford the vehicle...... lol
@@chrisakafrench Most people just don't have 65k laying around. But if you can afford the payments then yes you can afford the truck.
Anthony J not at all lol if you can’t pay cash you can’t afford it. Applies to all thing even the truck you think you “need”
I wanted to see high miles and car problems.. type of deal
I know this is an old video but I just bought a 17 an it’s an awesome truck
It is old. Hope you like your truck dude. I miss this one.
Man... I thought by the amount of Nitpick-ey things that you were listing was for an April Fools video... I’d love to have Daddy buy me an L5P, so that I too could point out that the seats that my ass will never be in, aren’t heated.
Yeah I’d love to have daddy buy me shit too would be fucking nice
All good complaints but the garage door was kind of firstworl problems haha😂😂
Dakota Valdes it was fucking wild 😂
Love the truck man. Wish I would have gotten the LTZ version so I didn’t have any chrome but it’ll get there. Keep pumpin out the videos 🤙🏼
RIP chrome, thanks man
I got the slt 2018 gmc 2500
What lift do you have on it?
7 to 9 inch Mcgaughys
Your dealer that your bought it from put nitrogen in them. I work at the plant and air is used. That's why you had green caps.
Haha so spot on man
I wish I could order a 3500 regular cab and to hell with rear seats all together. Now there's something to bitch about.
Your shirts Green bro
My 2018 WT has black pieces where your silver's are haha.
yeah, for some reason fake shiny stuff makes things look more expensive lol
Chris, you got a lot of criticism for this video but I agree on the styling. I own a 2017 ZO6. The interior is cheap for the price point of the car. The wheels are cast and bed in regular driving. I have 3 bent wheels after 8000 miles. I recently sold a 2007 Dodge diesel. I drove a new Ford, which was very nice, and I bought a new Dodge. Chevy has die hard Duramax fans and I think the drivetrain is why people like them, but good god, fire the styling department. I did not even drive the GM products. These trucks are expensive, we should be in love with them to pay this much. Its hard to stomach paying $60-70k for something you don't love.
ehh its not really criticism it just ignorance, everything I do is calculated. this one of my most viewed videos for reason. But I appreciate a comment form someone with intelligence lol
I mean I’ll gladly take it for free
You better of getting yourself an 1957 Chiquita Fiat 500 because its inexpensive and practical little car. It certainly would be easier for you to manage a 479 cc two-cylinder, air-cooled engine, should you encounter any problems. >_
paint marker your steering wheel logo?? really... tell's alot
and what might that be? PLEASE explain
green caps are for people to know you have nitrogen filled tires
What kind of fuel economy are you getting ?
14-15 HWY
What do u do for a living
Austin Davis make money my man
i think if it was all black it would be uggo, the little chrome bits really make it look nicer
I’d take all of these issues over a cp4 fuel pump in the ford
I love my l5p duramax
S&B cold air intake and Banks Derringer will give you 81 rwhp and they don’t void your warranty. 😎🔥🙌👏👌😍😜
So should i get this f250 or ram 2500
This f250
Damn commas
Chief Beef lololololol
How big is your lift
7-9 inch mcgaughys
Trade the dang on truck man lol
I don’t understand why you bought the truck!
Cause I love the truck? You clicked and watched the video so what I did worked lol
Can you tell me wheels and tires info?
PT- R I talk about it tons of videos, just not this one lol. American force wheels beadlock BL1s 20x10 -48 offset, 37/13.5/20 nitro trail grapplers
Thank you sir! It was first time to watching your video lol. Nice truck bro! Now im watching the others of yours
PT- R I make a wide range of videos maybe a few will keep you entertained
Not tryin to be rude bruh but it sounds like you knew all this stuff before you got the truck so why you complaining like it looks like you don’t like the truck you bought but you bought it anyway also you haven’t posted in a while and you come now and post and it is just a rant how much you hate your truck
not at all bro gotta think bigger
Like the truck though it’s unique
You get more life out of your motor with a delete. That and the fuel economy is the only reason I'm mad about not being able to delete mine
true, but the cost to delete vs the amount you saved over a specific amount of time, its not worth it
Lol the thing in the bottom grill slot is aftermarket you can take it out of you don’t like it
Daniel Rubio nope came stock 🤷🏼♂️😂
I love my new l5p .
Truck, truck, truck I didn't know you had 18wheels I see a pickup
Zakary Canning pickup truck, shut up you loser, just remember you’re a nobody talking shit on someone else’s UA-cam channel 😂
I hope you actually use it as a truck
Might as well paint the headliner black
Nice Truck.
thanks my man, you better sub!
@@chrisakafrench Subbed brother.
Heated seats in Texas? Bro...I've never cared about heated seats and I lived in Minnesota for the first 31 years if my life...I kniw I'm not the majority...I get it, but you're in Texas. Toughen up
Lmao a heated seat has nothing to do with toughness, I’m pointing out Chevrolet is way fucking behind If you can’t understand that I’d suggest you get off of UA-cam LOL
You hate your truck while my first truck is a 2014 v6 4.3L Work truck
Ittbelit t what does first trucks have to do with anything?
Chris French nothing really just wanted point out it’s my first truck also but it’s nothing compared to his
Bowtie bowtie bowtie I heard you complain about it 6 times. Does anyone realize that they have never given southern compressed coal co credit for stealing there symbol in 1911.
Wow, this kid is like 18-19 years old.... he’s never had to work for it, it seems anyways.... if I had the money to drop a monthly payment on a $60-70k duramax there would be absolutely nothing I would complain about unless it’s something that affects the truck working properly. 🤦♂️
s.delaney 23 to be exact fuck off saying I’ve never had to “work for it” you don’t know me wah wah wah go bitch on someone else’s channel
@@chrisakafrench you act like a female...
and you're a bitch
I’m inclined to agree I think Chevy could step up their game regarding the interior design and honestly now that I’ve seen these flaws they’d bother me as well. I’m in no way complaining about anything because I myself have an 02 Silverado 1500 that has quite a few flaws as well but hey what can we do. Love the truck keep up the great content man! Ps your truck is my iPads background because I aspire to have one at some point too, the way yours is setup it’s exactly the way I’d want mine.
The interiors are lacking tremendously
I hope you don't crash your dad's truck showing off
Clorox bleach I wish I drove daddies truck. Thanks for the $$ 🤑🤑
@@chrisakafrench ik I'm just comment trolling nice duramax btw
Clorox bleach it’s funny, people hate and it just makes me more money lol
Is this truck worth getting tbh ???? I’m looking for a truck right now and I’m 19 and I have the money
This one as in the one in the video that im selling? or the 2018 in general?
Chris French the 2018 in general???
yes its a badass truck, every thing about it.
This truck must have been a gift because anybody else wouldn't have bought it if they hated it this much. This guy is a whiner and should be driving a Tacoma.
Why do you care about the rear seats if you don’t even sit in them
Because others do?
Green means nitrogen filled tires
You may need to pay your own and these way you can buy what you want
Imagine being so dumb you think I don’t pay 😂😂
