Here's my 2018 Custom Crew Cab!  Was looking to post in a "build section" but seemed to be gone...?

Absolutely gorgeous looking rig !!  This is what I originally wanted, but couldn’t find any leftover 18’ models.  I ended up with an 18 Sierra Denali Ultimate with the 6.2, still love my truck and happy with my choice.   You put together a really sharp looking truck  sir.  Could you please provide us with the details of the build ?  Fuel Mavericks ?  Thanks

Thank you. Front has 2.5” Motofab spacer and Kryptonite upper control arms. Rear has 2” lift blocks (3” to replace factory 1.25”) and Bilstein 5100 shocks. Wheels are Havok H112 20x10 -24, similar to the Fuel Mavericks. Tires are 33x12.5 Atturo Trailblade MT. My truck also has the 6.2 and I absolutely love it.

Photo from a week ago after a fresh detail. Kind of bored with it this year, torn between leaving it simple/as is, full sport truck build or selling it and getting into a gen6 Camaro.

I'll post some more photos tomorrow but nothing crazy in terms of details. 

 

WT trim with the black out package. Very base in options, only had the black out package added, 5.3L 2WD with locking rear diff and 3.42, carpet flooring and that's it! Roll up windows, no keyless entry ?

 

Added 4/7 Belltech drop, 22" KMC prism wheels, Corsa DB cat back, AFE CAI and Blackbear 91 PCM and Trans tune and some other small stuff. Paint was corrected and coated but need to do it again even though it's only been summer driven, this black paint swirls even if you look at it wrong.

You are very welcome, once again, awesome looking truck!

 

Hard to beat a lowered RCSB in appearance for a custom truck.

I posted it because it's a custom 2 door Tahoe. Somebody took the time and man hours to chop the body and make it a two door like back in the 90's.

Completely agree, it is a pretty cool rig, something GM should build as low run "hot rod" truck.

    • I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose  
    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
