Have not been very active on the forum lately, apologies. Truck has changed a bunch. Changed the way all my Rigid Industries lights are mounted, 40" moved behind the RaceMesh grille, custom powdercoated and recessed Duallys into the rear bumper. Rear bumper plastics were color matched like the rest of my plastics. My Roadwire leather was installed by Keystone Styling. Switched wheels to the new Anthem Off-Road Aviators. I'm on Instagram if you want to see more pics #tstehle07

That's a nice truck. Where did you get the recessed rear bumper LEDs? Is that custom seats?

Rear lights are flush mount Rigid Industries dually floods. I had the bezels powder coated 'chrome' to blend into the bumper. My interior is Roadwire leather, hot red!

pretty good deal I'd say. I was looking at them new in crew cab form and they were adding 15k to the MSRP.

Check out Laura GMC, they are located just outside of St. Louis and they put levels/lifts and tires on new trucks and with their discount its almost like buying a new stock truck.

My New 2015 LT Z71 All Star Edition. I would like to eventually switch to a chrome grill. Are the snap on ones any good?

Its good. Kind of a slang word for big wheels and slammed to the ground. You don't see truck like that very often, well actually here in Houston you see quite a few trucks slammed to the ground, but they are done super cheap and not done right like yours. Yours looks great!

Thank you very much. I typically get a lot of negative comments in forums, but everyone in here has been really nice. I'm sure their are those probably thinking "Why would he cut up that brand new truck?," but no one has been rude and I appreciate that.

The way i see it is, a good looking truck is a good looking truck.

 

I'm not a fan of the stretched tires, but some are. I love my truck and i'm sure they love theirs! That's all that matters!

Well in my experience, the people that like to bash on other peoples trucks are the guys that either aren't happy with what they have or just feel like since someone has something better than them, bashing makes them feel better. I personally am not a big fan of lowered trucks, just my opinion, but I can appreciate the time, work, and craftsmanship that goes into a build like this or any other build. I am a gearhead and been wrenching since I got my first toolbox at 13 years old. I love wrenching on my truck and making it my own. I could care less what anyone else thinks about it.

    • 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.
