Well so far I've had all the windows tinted, removed the muffler and put on a nice shiny tip, and basilisks maintenance. I switched it over to AMSOIL 0w-20 right away and have GM rear wheel liners on order they should be here this week. 

 

Future plans are to get rid of the nasty steel wheels that are starting to rust quit a bit on the lip and under the centre caps. I'll get those K02's off after the summer because they're WAY TO LOUD; the constant droning is driving me bonkers! I'll also be installing my dash cam (front and rear) and will probably add an aftermarket bluetooth kit for the factory head-unit later in the summer. ? Oh and the plastic drop in bed-liner needs to go and it will be replaced with line-x. 

Sounds like you have good list of "Day 2" mods already lined up.

 

Post pics, and ask questions, or provide answers as you go.

2” rough country leveling kit (spacer) 20x10 wheels -15 offset and 33x12.5 tires aturro mt rubs at full lock 

Looks great !  Turned out very nice.  I have a 2018 as well w/ultimate package but with 22” wheels.  Truck is white diamond frost coat.  I love the way the truck  looks now, but wished there were more choices for leveling kits. I really don’t wanna mess with the magnetic ride system.  Truck rides very nice now, but 22” wheels make you feel it on crappy roads.  Was it difficult to install on your truck ?  Magnetic ride create problems?

 

 Thanks

I went with rough country kit because it was kinda cheap like 60 and it came with a bracket that moved the sensor up. It rode very good with the leveling kit installed like stock then I put mud tires on and the ride is good but not like it was ...install was easy lol giant pry bar on the spring slide the spacer in and done. With a 2 inch leveling kit there still is some rake maybe 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 spacer would make it truly level but I’m fine with the way it is. Next is tune ??

Your truck looks awesome! I think I have the same hood. Mine has two recesses or indentations. Yours looks like some sort of scoops were mounted into the indentations, but you said it's vinyl. How about a closer picture?

That's a crazy optical illusion! In your first photo there looks like hood scoop openings, but in these pictures you can see it's just vinyl laid in the recess. Very cool!

Did a 3.5/6 drop and changed to a set of RST wheels. Thought this would be a good excuse to repost my truck.

That looks so good man. Are you planning on keeping the steps?

Thanks. I’m going to drive it for a while like this. Let the chrome get pitted up some more and when I’m ready to change it up. Black out it, change the wheels, and remove the steps.

    • Thanks JR that would be great if you could do that !!! Do you have a link to where this was discussed before ? I cant seem to find it  Thank You Again !
    • Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning. 
    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
    • On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
    • 2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!
