Just ended my 800 mile round trip towing about a 3600 pound trailer, 400 pounds of gear in the bed, plus the truck had 4 full sized adults in it. Worked it up and down the appalachian mountains. She w

Well, figured what better time to start a build thread than on a new truck since I never did do one on my 02. Anyways, bought the truck November 29, 2014 and as of right now, a few days later, its sti

I'm surprised with the BDS bad luck. My uncle and two of my buddies run them and said install was great. Although those all were on torsion bar gmt 800 trucks. Good luck, can't wait to see it!

I've always heard of BDS being a top player but when the crossmember holes don't line up and you gotta start reaming holes you start questioning things lol

I slid into the ditch on the side, I don't think it affected the frame but who knows. You may be onto something though

Well for your sake I hope I'm not. I hope it is just a BDS quality control issue.

I got it to fit, just waiting on a replacement part because I broke something out of my own stupidity trying to get shit done too quick hah

Is it finished? Man, I love BDS. Very good lift on my old truck lol

Yeah she's all done. Setting at the dealer right now getting my fuel issue looked at from when I had to drop the tank to install the lift springs. Keeps tripping the shut off, seems like a vent issue honestly

Man, thats looks wicked! How you liking your RTs? also, what wheels did you go with?

Tires are awesome so far. Slight hum nut not much worse than my KO2's. I went with the Moto Metal MO970 wheels, -24mm offset. Thinking about switching to the Moto Metal MO962 wheels since I am scraping. The new ones would be 0mm offset

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
