Did you upgrade the amp or anything else or just the speakers?

New parts? Not sure. I’ve been told parts (if bought new) are about $1K.

Consoles are to be had for about $450 - $700.

My passenger side HID ballast took a shit, so I decided to try something new and I ordered the Morimoto 2stroke LED kit from theretrofitsource. Got them installed and they look great! 

I was just looking at this. Any pictures? Is everything concealed in the actual headlight housing? And how are the dust caps they provide?

No I didn't take any photos when doing the install. I wish everything would fit into the housing but with the ballast and anti-flicker module there is no way. I used the grommet I had in the dust cap from my hids to run the wires into the light. The dust caps they provide would work however on the passenger side with the air box there is no way it would work. 

I took it for a drive and the light out put is great but doesn't seem as bright as with the 55w hid's I had in there but overall I'm very pleased with the lights. Its nice having the instant on vs having to wait for the hid's to warm up.

2" level kit was received today & will be installed on Saturday.  If I can get an appointment I'll also get an alignment done on Saturday.  285/55R20 BFG KO2's going on next Wednesday.

I'm sorry, but the "adjacent body shop" would be the ones who are "super tired" had that happened to my truck!  No way in hell would I have clay-barred and waxed the truck myself.

Got my truck back from line-x. Had the full undercoating & rust remedy done. Also installed the rear air bags a couple weeks ago. 35c5933c971f5df8c46d84b7751ad9c3.jpg

I installed a driver grab handle into my 2015. Before I traded the truck for my current 2017 I swapped it back out. Well I cannot get the handle to fit in the 17... is there a new handle for those? Its so close to lining up but can’t get it. 

 

Thanks,

It's not much different if you keep them at the 5 psi minimum. I keep mine at 15. I like the little stuffer ride. At 15 the truck is basically just using the air bags as the rear suspension, at 5 it is still using the factory suspension. That's the way it was explained to me by one of the support guys.

Normally I would wholeheartedly agree with you LA.  However the body shop owner brought steak, chicken, sausage, beer and a bottle of Black Label for the cook(me) so we could cookout at my buddy's shop for Christmas.  Usual parking space by a liquor store was full and since it is a dubious part of town I stupidly parked by the body shop.  Anyhow I took care of the problem and will chalk it up to learning a lesson.

    • 100% agree, there are a lot of variables. I definitely do not drive I’ve like a grandpa but also don’t drive like I stole it. Truck is currently in the shop so I’ll have to get weight later. The price for driving it doesn’t bother me. My precious was a 6.2l so the cost between the two is a wash. 
    • if you want a short turning radius get a short bed Colorado!
    • that is pretty awesome MPG there!  I think so far one observation is these trucks do way better on MPG under 65mph vs 70+ and they really suffer at 75+   I noticed on the stretches into NE on 76 and 80 which is posted 75MPH and I was doing 82 I was getting more like 13.    
    • No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.      
    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.
