Here's what I have done to my truck so far:

- RkSport ram air functional hood

- 1st was debadge/remove mouldings from the whole truck except for tailgate bowtie

- Installed an AFE stage 2 CAI - makes a nice hum (Sorry no pics)

- Bakflip Fibermax Tonneau cover

- Sprayed box liner

- 5% Tint in the rear, and 25% in the front

- Royalty Core grille (not installed yet)

- Flo-Pro custom dual exhaust (shop hand bent the tubes)

- Recon smoked tail lights

- Back window sticker (adds 5hp ?)

 

Lots more to come, will explain later my plans/stuff in process.

Here's a few more pics (who doesn't love taking picturesmof there trucks?)

Wow, you really went all out! Looks good! Is everything painted then cleared?

Haha shes my baby! Just trying to keep it clean looking.

I got a professional to paint the parts, no paint from the can crap. But yes he painted then cleared. Thanks for the compliment on the truck man

T, very cool what you've done with your Silverado. I ordered mine this past Monday. The dealer said it should be in the 1st. or 2nd. week of September. I'm new to this tread thing so I'm not real sure if this is going to you or not but I'll figure it out as I get on more. Your pictures are great and gave me some good ideas. Thanks Dave, AKA F- Five

He did an excellent job, and I couldn't be happier. I got lots of work lined up for him and Im sure he's just as happy as I am lol. Thanks man!

 

Nice truck. I like the hood :) Congrats! :thumbs:

Thanks Phillip, I love the hood as well! Haven't seen one on any other Chev in my area!

Sorry everyone, I'll continue to post every once in awhile. I do shift work, so Im a busy man haha. Today is the last day of my days off. I managed to pick up the Recon smoked 3rd brake light and instal it (looks killer) and get my colour matched mirror caps and handles on! I'll spit shine the truck up today and take pictures! My truck officially goes under the knife Aug 4th for Audio. And the same time my headlights and grille should be getting done! I was asked to be part of a fundraiser/auto show for Aug 23rd so it's crunch time! Ill get back later with those pics!

Heres some of the audio going in (Missing 1 set of speakers, they'll have them in stock when they start doing the install on Tuesday).

Pretty pumped to see my interior be fully done. The custom sub/amp enclosure will be wicked. Guaranteed to be one of a kind. Especially excited to see how well my installer does with such a difficult floor (as all the double cab owners know) and tight spot. Next 2 weeks will be an overhaul! Hope everyone enjoys there long weekend (In Canada) and everyone else enjoy there weekend!

The interior pieces you had painted look phenomenal! If you don't mind me asking how much did that cost for all the pieces? Can't wait to see more. Are you thinking about doing a lift kit or anything along those lines?

Can't say separately what they cost. My painter has painted my 4 handles, mirror covers, all the interior pieces, now my headlights, the chrome headlight covers, and my grille. Plus accents on the wheels when I order them. All for $800. Hes a wicked painter and dang good price. And I tried to order a McGaughy's lift, and there damn near impossible to get here in Canada. So Ill be going with a BDS 6" sometime! Thanks for the compliments man!

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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
