I only changed cosmetic parts externally. I did them through 4Wheelparts, and they have a 5 year warranty on their own.

How does it ride at high speed off-road?

Haven't had the chance to go off road.

Nice truck! Is the hood fiberglass and did it come painted?

What safe? You'll have to do a write up on it.

 

Not sure if you have buckets or bench(they make both types) but this is the one I went with. they have a video on their site and it really is that easy.

Just noticed this one, I like it but doubt I'll spend that much

Finished the KN Intake last night. Stupid cheapo plastic npt fittings I replaced with some nicer brass ones. Much better. Sounds a lot healthier now.

Much more secure than just using the floor.

I have only less than a day on it. I am still having fun with it. I'll do less hard driving next gas tank. The sound is awesome though.

If you want mpg/HP get the airaid MIT. It's been proven to be the best.

 

If only they made one for the 2014+ trucks.....

Did this yesterday:

  • 2.5" RC front leveling kit w/ stock rear blocks on 295-55-20 Nitto Trail Grapplers on stock wheels.
  • Removed front air dam
  • Added a Roll N Lock bed cover

 

Should have my AMP steps installed by this weekend. I was going to get this done yesterday but i started raining heavily.

My truck next to a coworkers truck. Both Z71 4x4's. Both have the same brand/size tires. The only difference is that his has a 2" leveling kit and still has the front air dam installed.

    • 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
