Have you thought about removing the lower valance? That is the plastic piece under the bumper.

I have. I recently saw a post somewhere about removing the valance and it's effect on engine airflow. I guess I need to do some more research on that before taking it off. I do think it would look better without it.

I seen that post where someone brought that up, you will research everywhere you can but you will never find anything/anyone that will say that a GM HD truck runs any warmer with it removed.

 

I managed a huge fleet of them that not only had them removed but also had plow mounts installed making it even worse, these trucks were pulled to death and never had one run warm.

I have had mine off for several months and I have had no heating problem.

Only have the shitty cell phone pic from picking her up at the dealer, Sunday. Have not been around here for a while, thought I would pop in and see what has been going on!

Pick of my new 2500HD!! Delivery room of the dealership.

 

Just picked it up Thursday night. Ordered it on 2/14....wow was that fast!! (Helps that I'm only 6 hours from the Flint Plant!)

 

Can't wait to play with it all weekend.... :)

 

I guess I need to update my Forum handle too. The 2007 was a great truck....zero problems and 124k of very hard service.....the 2015 has big shoes (tires!) to fill.

Just got it. After reading quite a bit on this forum, I plan on:

  • Getting rid of the chrome trim under the bottom of the side windows.
  • Crank torsion bars around 1.5 inches. I like a little rake in my ride.
  • 295 Cooper STMaxx, or the new 285 Toyo RT's
  • Full Ranch Hand front and rear bumpers.
  • Already had a BackFlip F1 bed cover put on.

Just brought home my new 2500 SLT.

I had to order my truck to get the options I wanted. I ordered late Jan. 2015 and picked it up yesterday. It will be going in next week to have to step rails added but otherwise I love it...

Nice! The double cab, long bed looks good! I don't see very many of those around here. I've considered one myself. Don't need the crew cab, but would be nice to have the 8' bed sometimes.

I know,

I looked for about 5 months, And all I could find were 6 1/2 Ft. beds. I ended up ordering just so I could get what I wanted.

8Ft. beds are great in my opinion, Not sure why they don't make more of them .

    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.    
    • I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
    • I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
