In the beginning, so far front tint, under seat storage, console organizer, led back up and cargo lights, 275/60/20 Cooper Atps. On the to do list, get rid of chrome, Ranch Hand steps, exhaust, RC level kit, led step and interior lights. That is all for now. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

A little alcohol goes a long way...thanks to moto and block8head for contributing to this thread, without there guidance and assistance , everyone would have more complications with hid installations..not to mention projectors installs. Block8head is the first to do the fxr projectors...u the MAN!

Put the black rivet grill back on and two-toned themed the lower bumper center to match the new wheels that will be delivered soon...

No your not.... I like it too. I just ordered a MBRP 3.5" single exit cat-back that should be on by next week sometime. Can't wait to actually hear my 6.2

First time downloading photos. Fxr projectors with 55w ddm kit and d2s morimoto 5000k bulbs. Thanks to block8head for his advice on install. It is as straight as I can get it. Took several tries. The fxr projectors tend to bow upwards. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

iphone hase case on it makes pictures look like crap, but my phone looks like new. lol I will get better pics as soon as I get time to upgrade the truck.

The early ecoboosts did have a lot of engine problems but I haven't heard much about the last couple of years having problems. They may have worked out all of the kinks now I dunno, but personally I would have gone with the V8. Why? Because it's available and it doesn't have AFM. I would get a GM truck without AFM if I could too. I just like standard V8's in trucks when they're available.

GM DOES NOT CARE they have bigger fish to fry - such as profit margins - as long as the Silverado secret is out there and they have the wool pulled over the NHTSA eyes there will be nothing done. They should bill the Silverado as the first truck built exclusively for the ladies - we have models that will please any woman from bumper to bumper we assure you the largest vibrator on the road ;) Just throwing more fuel on the fire

One week old in Rainforest Green Metallic. Put a set of mud flaps on tonight and washed it up. I live in the woods and this is a dog training and bird hunting truck, so this is the cleanest it will ever be from this point forward.

Bought it yesterday

7" McGaughy Lift. Just finished this weekend.

This is a totally different valve that what the Vettes use. This valve has spring resistance and is forced open by exhaust flow alone. Just cut it out or use something to hold the valve open like the op did with a hose clamp, tac weld, a fireproof midget holding the valve open himself, it's a real easy mod.

I have received numerous PMs asking about my tune, so many in different threads, I don't believe I could find them all, so I thought I would just initiate a seperate thread to address it. This may be a long post because there are several details worthy of mention...the tune, mpg, the ride, bumper chips. First, PCM of NC, in Mooresville, NC, are genuine professionals who focus on GM products. Tuning is just a side aspect of their business. Their claim to fame is custom building GM cars to customers desires. Too much detail for this thread, but I saw 6 Camaros with everything from exhaust and intake to complete custom "hotrod" with supercharger. Lots of head and cam jobs on late model Camaros. The oldest one was a 2010. They have their stuff together and very, very, customer oriented! My tune far exceeded my expectations, even though this was my third experience with them. For those who haven't seen my previous posts, I live in Montgomery, Alabama, 6 hours, plus, drive to Mooresville, however, the results were worth every mile. The most noticeable is in the low end, great throttle response, he adjusted cam timing, shift points and pressure, very smooth shifts, Deleted AFM, and it just keeps digging as long as you keep your foot in it. I thought the 6.2 ran pretty good from the factory, until Alvin Anderson, the owner, worked his magic. I know some of you could actually explain the tune better than I , and I was there. All I know, by the seat of the pants, my truck is now 100% better in driveablility and fun than the truck I took up there. By the way, they use HP Tuning software. They have a commercial license with them for unlimited use. They can do everything for the 2014s, including of course, the 6.2, my engine. I know some others don't have the software yet to tune the TCM. I can honestly tell you the Airaid system I installed before I left, definitely overrides the sound of my custom dual magnaflow catback sytem when you get your foot in it. With the tune, it is much more noticeable, man does it suck some air with that huge snorkel coming down from the air box behind the grill. I don't know what else to say about the tune specifically, other than it's like a freaking miracle!!! One note about MPG. I went up on MLK day and the traffic was ridiculous. I never exceeded 75 the entire trip and a lot of it was under 70. As a result, I had one segment of 22.4 MPG with an overall average of 20.6 MPG for the trip up. On the return trip, there was a lot less traffic, so I played with it a lot, trying to break in my tune and ran 80 to 85 most of the way. When I got home the computer said I averaged 19.7 for the trip home, however, I did the math the old fashioned way, total miles vs. gals and came up with 17.8. In my book, that is fantastic gas mileage for the way I was driving home. Alvin said it should improve some, and I think it did, considering the way I was driving on the return trip. One last point of interest, stone chipped bumpers. First, know, I am very OCD about staying away from vehicles in front and when passing semis, I do it at excess speeds to expedite the maneuver. I got four stone chips on the front bumper, however, when the stone hit, the paint flaked all around the tiny spot where it actually hit. The paint was actually loose, you could peel little pieces off with your fingernail. I did get a normal stone chip on the hood, no paint flaking there. MY dealer's body shop is doing the three step process to attempt to touch it up and get it smoothed out enough to put the Clear Bra on it. They would repaint the entire bumper if I wanted it, but I prefer to try this first. I had tried before I left to find a clear bra installer, and could not find anyone around here who did it. The body shop manager is going to call this guy who does it and he will come down (115 miles) and do mine. He said this guy is the best in the state, but he's pricey. It's going to cost about $1000, but I cannot go through this every time I take a road trip. The body shop manager said he never seen anything like what happened to my bumper. He said, It was as if it were painted a second time in the plant. I know it was a very revolting development. I have had a lot of stone chips, but I never seen paint do that before. OH by the way, my 22" wheels rode like a limosine the entire trip. In my opinion, 18" could not have rode any better. That's my story, and I hope it answers most questions that were asked of me. Let me add, if anyone is interested in an in-person tune and feel like you are within driving distance of Mooresville, NC, give them a call. PM me for the contact info. There's nothing in it for me, I'm just a very happy customer trying to share some great info with my GM Truck community. Have a great weekend everyone!
