Damn it man. You just added something to my list... I like how that all looks! I plan to get tow mirrors this summer and am considering adding some amber clearance/running lights in my grille. But how, and where. Hmmm.

The Grille LEDs were fairly easy, as for the mirror LEDs, that was a bit time consuming as I was being careful not to break the plastic tabs removing the door panel partially. Though, in your case you will have to remove completely to swap out the mirrors for the towing ones, as the wire connectors are further down below the door panel.

Looks good, so minimal. Are you using them for show, or did you tap into the turn signal to use them there too?

For now, they are as running light/clearance. I have to buy/make the diodes and resistors wiring and figure out which is the signal wire to tap into.

Here's the latest thing I've done to my black CC Silverado. Added amber LED clearance lights to the OEM mirrors. I know the photos are too dark, I will take some photos during the day/evening.

Did u replace your grill or is that Plasti dip on the chrome grill?

285's (I guess they're actually called TOYO A/T Open Country Extreme)

If you don't mind would you get a measurement from the ground to the bottom of the wheel well

I want all the scoop on your truck! IMO, one of the best Sierra's i have seen. Good job!

 

Mcgaughy's 7-9" Black SS lift

35x12.50 Mickey MTZ's

20x9 rockstar II's on a -12 offset

I used a dremel on the headlights, painted all chrome, tinted the LED lens and reassembled

Smoked the tail lights

Completely de-badged

Removed the stock muffler and the stock tailpipe but left it dumped at the factory resonator

Color matched my mirror covers, painted all the chrome trim on the windows and grille. Used primer then bed liner, makes it look like the rest of the plastic and holds up well.

Swapped out the chrome door handles for black ones.

6000k HID headlights

6000k LED fog lights.

Diablo tuned, waiting for a few bolt on's before getting Lew to tune it.

 

I live in Michigan, and don't drive it during the winter months.

Hoping to have a few things done by spring...

Long tubes, with or without cats... haven't decided yet

Borla XR1 muffler

4.10 gears as soon as I can find a 9.76" ring gear for the rear.

Detroit Truetrac front and rear.

3200 stall converter

Want to cam it, but probably going to have to wait until next year.

 

I'm sure there are a few things i'm forgetting, but that's all for the most part.

    • I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.        
    • This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.
    • Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.
    • He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.
    • Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.
