15 day road trip for Christmas from Northern Saskatchewan to Nanaimo BC and back.  Got caught in the rockies and had to spend an extra night when the highway was shut down. Hit alot of bad roads and snowy conditions but the truck performed great.  Very impressed with it on the challenging roads.  Fuel mileage was what I expected so I was happy with that too.

Was there any trimming done to fit this size on stock rims? Any rubbing?

no trimming that i have found. the only rubbing i have seen is on the actual frame itself. it isn’t bad though

Picked up this new 2018 2500HD 4x4 CCLB LTZ with the 6.0 a couple weeks back and am so far enjoying the step up! (Always had half tons before this truck; first HD truck).

 

Pic was taken the first week I had it. Have since added some Husky mud flaps to it as well as some basic essentials like good floor mats and the Husky underseat storage bin. And of course some good winter tires for yanking the sled trailer around up here as well as the Rigid DOT fog light kit. I've got some Iron Cross 'Patriot' running boards on order, but they've been on backorder for about 3 weeks now so I may wind up ordering something else; not sure. 
I'm thinking the next steps will be the spray-in liner and a Truckboss sled deck with a Bedslide. Or I might just pull the box and go with a custom flatbed. Not totally sure yet. This is my first GM product, so I want to give it a couple months at least before dumping too much $$ into it. 


I gotta admit your guys' lifted/leveled trucks look SICK. This truck, especially the CCLB looks GREAT with some aggressive tires and a lift or level. But I probably won't go that route since the truck works good for me stock. But I'll always drool a little at some of your all's trucks..

well i got this one about 2 months ago now.   wish i had better pictures that were not on the dealership lot but the roads are all snow / ice / salt so this is the only time it has been clean since i got it.

 

i have plans on lifting - removing lower valance, updating the stereo (audomobile evo 10's from my old truck under rear seats, might put in my processor / jl amps etc to...)

 

i was a Dodge guy before this to be honest....  based 100% off the looks...  i like being able to jam bigger tires in round wheel wells....   i actually purchased the 2018 Ram 2500 Power Wagon before this....  returned it the next day....  my fault for not researching and also dodge fault... i was updating my 2015 Ram to pull my 10,000 pound travel trailer / boat etc so i wanted the higher payload... they show me all the specs for a Ram 2500HD which i was told was the same #'s the 2500 Powerwagon had... turns out that is untrue... 1440 payload 9900 pound pulling on the Power Wagon.....  so returned it the next day (did not sign bank papers yet... so they didn't have much of a choice) i was honestly going to order a new Ram 3500 From factory but the dealership was pretty annoying to deal with to begin with (took a full day of negotations on the power wagon....) got sick and tired of going back and forth on #'s i went to GM and took a look.

 

found this 2018 Sierra 3500 SLT leather bose etc,  honestly never drove the new generation Chevy / GM product.... glad i did!  the dealership was easy to deal with... had it sorted out inside of an hour (work discount so was cost +2% so no dickering needed...) gave me a better trade in $ and was surprising how much nicer these are to drive than the Ram's.....   the power wagon was smoother but than again it is a purpose built offroad half ton pretty much... so it better be smooth cause it cant pack crap....

 

i've prolly spent 30+ hrs researching lifts / levels and options for it.... plan to get it done in late spring,  i prefer to have the tires more or less stuffed....  there's a ton of 1 ton lifted gm's around town with 6+ inch lifts and what look like bicycle tires which bum me out... lol    i'm not afraid to cut, and see there is a bumper mod to get me another 1/2 inch on the front bumper i plan on doing!  but realistically i'm no closer to a plan than when i started.... found pics and posts of people who have fit anywhere from 33 to 37's  but it seems it works for one guy and not the next one.....    i am leaning towards the 3.5 inch UCA level  and hoping for 18x9 rims with 295/70 r18's  or go all out depending how broke i want to be... with something like the BDS 4.5 inch lift with 18's 35x12.5         I wish i could find abunch of local trucks with the lift kits so i could see them in person!   Pro Comp 6 inch lift is another option, but some trucks look just great and others there's way to much wheel well for my preference....

Your picture didn't work,

I really wanted a Power Wagon but I want to haul a sled deck and It would have been way over the payload so I never pulled the trigger.  I was pretty disappointed when I found out the payload ratings on a 3/4 ton truck was less than an F150 lol .  

I'm glad I went with the Chevy.  Its been a great truck so far....

I'm glad I went with the Chevy.  Its been a great truck so far....    

the exact reason i returned the Power Wagon....  i wanted a sled deck for it and it cannot carry one... truck cannot do airbags either even if i wanted to try to do it...   not sure why my pic is not working ....  but picture a completely stock 3500 Slate Grey Mettalic 2018 hah...   after i got 34 Litres per hundred pulling my newly used travel trailer a couple months ago back home (bought it about 9 hours away... winter time so good deal!) i wanted a more purpose built truck... the 5.7 Hemi was just amazingly bad on fuel ...  i could barely make it between some towns...  i went through the Icefields and was getting pretty damn nervous when my old ram said i had 160km of fuel left.... and i had to drive 150km to the next gas station... 

 

i know the 6.0L chevy is not exactly a Prius... but bigger tank and bullet proof from everything i have read about it, and built to work, it pulls my sled trailer with better mileage than my 5.7 hemi so far... (although day to day mileage is worse but comparing apples to oranges 1/2 to 1 ton so cant blame it ) only have about 1200km on it so far...  but it's been nice so far!.   I couldn't justify the diesel...  i have a company truck for work, so the new 3500 goes out once a week on average really....  and my dry weight of my travel trailer is 6600  gross of 10k   will never pull a bigger trailer and i hear about longterm issues with diesel's when it comes to warming up in the winter and short trips (unless i'm camping or sledding the truck just goes to the grocery store just to get it moving sometimes.... Me and the wife usually drive her Jeep as more town friendly.

 

can't wait to actually get it out this spring with the Travel Trailer though.....  if i can get 500km out of a tank of gas i will be happy......  (the ram went low fuel at 300km so 350 max...)

I've got 12000 kms in 3 month on my truck so far.  We have been using it for the family trips and I use it for my daily driver.  Living up in cold saskatchewan I decided I had enough of my Cummins and always having to plug in when it was cold out or set the command start to run every 2 hours if there was no place to plug in so I decided to go with the gas.  So far I have found fuel mileage is affected by how fast I drive, I have the 4:10 rear end so mileage is much better at 90-100kms an hour but I generally run the 110-120 mark.  Haven't really pulled anything big with it yet though... The test will come in the spring when I have to haul the boat to the lake.  Its a 23' Tritoon and pulls like a big sheet of plywood in the wind lol.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      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!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      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.
