Took the two day old truck with 300km on it and put on another 6000km over the last two weeks through Wyoming/Colorado/Utah and did some very light offroading (truck is stock Z71 right now) in Moab.

Wish I had gotten a couple more shots of the articulation in this one, the stance was opposite on the driver side with the left rear having about a half inch of clearance from the wheel well.

 

More to come, too many driveway and parking lot shots on here. :)

A few months back I replaced my 2011 Silverado with a new 2014. I have been slowly adding things to give it my own touch.

 

So far I have put on the GM bug deflector. I had a Zone Off-road 2" leveling kit installed. I put on N-Fab textured steps. I installed a Timbren SES rear helper kit on the back end.

 

Soon to come will be a bedliner and I think tint to the front windows.

 

Here are some pictures so far.

Did you put that chrome wheel well trim on too or did you buy it that way? If i'm being honest, that completely ruins the look of your truck, otherwise, it looks awesome!

Picked mine up on Thursday. Put over 400 miles on it already. Quite a truck, even got a compliment from a random passer by in NYC! Here's the first time in the day light I could get both vehicles together. Both a little dirty but will do. I've had the CTS-V since '04. It was my daily for 7 years and has 150,000 miles on it. It is Stealth Gray and was the inspiration for the truck's color. juqemaje.jpg

Grabbed this shot under the "super moon" bringing her home for the first time Saturday night. One of those times I really wished I had a decent camera around. edagy7uz.jpg

Great looking truck and nice V. I had an '05 for a couple years, then sold it to my dad. Fun car.

    • No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.      
    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality. 
    • We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.
