My New 09 Silverado

[Zral]

Hi all,

 

Just wanted to pop in and say hello. My name is Lars from Northeast Kansas. Moved back to Kansas from Chicago 2 years ago. Used to drive nothing but Jeep Cherokee's. Moved back to Kansas, burned up the Jeep. Bought a 2004 Silverado 1500 Ext. 2wd LT2-5.3L (no sunroof or trackcontrol). MidYear package=20" chrome w/z60 suspension. Just traded it in on a 2009 Silverado 1500 4WD EXT Cab LT1

 

5.3L V8 Active Fuel Managment

Z85 Handling/Trailing Susp

145 Amp Alternator

AutoTrac Transfer Case

 

Stabilitrack-Stability Control

Theft Deterrent System

Dual stage driver/rt frt pass air bags w/pass sensing system

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

 

60/40 Split Rear Seating

 

Locking Rear Differential

Trailering Package

 

Off Road Suspension Package **(Z71?)

• Off Road Skid Plates

• High Capacity Air Cleaner

 

18" Aluminum Wheel

(replaces std/opt wheel)

 

18" on/off road WOL tires

(replaces std/opt pkg tires)

 

Black Granite Metallic

rear axle - 3.73

 

The BlackSilvy rides sooo well! I lost a lot of bells and whistles but I really can do without a lot of it. One thing I miss the most is the DIC and the radio controls on the steering wheel. I need to tint the front windows to match.

 

What would be your opinions on mud flaps. I just don't the rocks chippin' my paint. Do they really help keep the bottom of the doors any cleaner than not having them?

 

Anyway, nice to meet you all. Hope to have a couple pics up after this weather passes through.

 

Thanks

Welcome aboard. I've got flaps on mine and I think they help out keeping dirt, etc off the paint. My 99 didn't have them, and I know the rear quarters were chipped quite a bit from the back tires tossing stones.

Welcome and congrats, you can order a DIC panel and put it in in about as long as it takes to pull the panel off and put the new one on. I ordered the swich and the panel seperate and it was $83 at the dealership (110 as a complete panel) All you have do do is search DIC and it will dive you all of the stuff you need to do it.
