ok, so i got some extra cash over the weekend and cant decide what to buy next for my truck! I was thinking along the lines of:

 

Hellwig Sway bar

 

E-Locker Differential

 

JBA shorty Headders (CA Legal)

 

I have the dominators 2 on order already and dont really have the time to drop it off at the mech to put in a new cam,rods,springs, and rockers. These 2 options are not available for one reason or another.

 

What should I buy? from where and how much would be a good price. I dont mind keeping some extra $$$ in my pocket after i purchase one of these :lol:

Get a throttle body spacer!! I hear is gives you at least 45 more hp! Don't forget your stickers. They add around 25 hp a piece. :lol:

 

With all that you already have, I personally would go with the headers. That's only because you said you don't have time for cams, head, etc.... You may just want to save that money and go with cams or heads when you have time to drop it off.

ok, so i have decided between a 1.5" BL or the subthump box with the Silverado letters. I really like how the box sits and sounds. Then again, i would really love how the truck would sit a bit higher with the 1.5" BL.

 

as for what to put in the box, i was thinking 2 10" Polk audio subs, not the cheapy db series but the MMC series. at least thats what i think they are. The MOMO series are nice but i would preffer the next ones up from those. and then eventually component up front and rear. some 6.5's should be good enough.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
