Advance auto says this is a perfunctory fit for 2013 Silverado. They are 1" too short to fit properly. You can stretch them and get them on but during driving the wire will pull loose from the coils at any given time. I'm the process of cutting manufacturing cost this company made a product useless and dangerous. I will be doing a review on my YouTube channel for my 1.9M subscribers.
Bottom Line not recommended

I put these on a 2007 nnbs truck and they do not have the angled plug boot like the OEM ones do. Would not stay plugged in on coil side. They are nice looking wires and got good reviews but they didn't work for me on my truck, going back to OEM wires.
