Im Back

[Wacko2007]

Hey guys, Im a member here and havent been on in awhile.

I had a GEM 2007 GMC denali, summit white.

Gorgeous, got it with 3000miles last august, In october I was heading to hatfield McCoy west virginia for a ATV get away.

Was towing trailer with 5 quads, was in a bad accident, totalled truck and trailer.

That god, I am anal with strapping the quads down and not one was damaged, they didnt even move.

 

Im back in the game though, I just bought a 07 silverado NBS last week.

Will post some pics soon, photobucket is giving me a hard time.

I will be posting alot bc I have a ton of questions.

 

thanks

 

 

PS. I have already tinted all the windows including the front.

I have sprayed the wheel wells with undercoating.

 

I have power folding running boards on the way.

I have ordered new mud flaps, 2" drop kit and CHEVY TRUCK hitch cover.

You should also remove the rear lift blocks, is it a 5.3 or a 6.0?

Its a 5.3

Why remove the blocks?

I heard this would make the truck sag in the rear.

I do tow on the weekends, nothing crazy though quad trailers with 2-4 quads.

3500lbs max

 

Any concerns with this??

Glad to see your back....... Yeah, I lost a tractor off my trailer once........ It was not a wreck but it was a bought lesson...... CHAIN IT DOWN... When in doubt add an extra tie down.......

 

Steep incline driving up it........ lower side of the trailer wheels jumped down in a rut..... I felt the trailer tip and then heard the crash....... And no I was not driving fast... I was in a field.... And it was a 65hp John Deere..... Got it rolled back over with another tractor.... pulled the injectors spun it over put the injectors back in and bleed the fuel system.... cranked right up.... Scratched it up but no bent metal or broke stuff less the bucket level indicator.....

I removed them on my truck, and it looks good. Also planning to drop the front 2 more inches, my 2006 didn't come with rear lift blocks and it looked good and I used to haul with it. How does the 5.3 feel after owning a 6.2l?
