Looks great, Anthony. Good job. Sort of wish I could un-see it, and on a white truck. Ack, 2 grand for a hood.

They look really bad ass!  

If I were putting this on my gasser I might just block the scoop off and not mess with the underside ducting.  The stock intake breathes more air that the engine can use.  Unless you add forced induction there is no need for increased air flow.

Hey guys & gals. Kinda new here, & I see the post is older, but sure it doesn't hurt to learn more. So just over a month ago I had a 19-20 something year old jump 3 lanes of traffic & slammed me head on......... Since I bought this truck about a year ago, I've been looking on this site & others to see what people are doing, what works & what doesn't. When I saw the pic of the 2 door silver Sierra with the hood done on it, I knew I was ganna do it, saving my cash & then the accident happened, so I spoke to the shop owner & he agreed (since the cost was about the same) that he'd do the "Ram-Air" style  hood for me.... Well got to tell u guys I didn't know (since he never told me or asked me if he could do this other stuff to it & just did it anyway) the shop owner did a 2019 Frontend Conversion to my 2015 Denali..... This is by far that one time you don't mind a shop did other stuff & didn't ask/tell u..... So I'll throw a pic up the day I bought her & the day they finished the work. You all can judge & let me know what u all think? Enjoy.....

Wow & I thought no one else had the Iridium Platinum Metallic? Love the color myself, what made me buy this truck, I wanted to always to that "chameleon" paint job, but with this don't have to, it changes color with the light changing or even a diff angle of view..... I'm waiting on the darn Insurance company to get off their backside (if ya know what I mean) to ok the job as done & I get my truck back..... It's been done for a week now & I'm kinda getting upset with State Farm...... But soon as she's back, I'm gonna take a ton of pics...... LOL. Will def post them...... And TY for telling me it looks great, have been getting compliments on it all week..... But to see it in person. ..... Pictures don't to her the right justice...... It looks way better in real life.....:seeya:

And mine isn't even a 2500.... It's a 1500 Denali with a 2019 frontend conversion & the 2500 hood of course. But this also shows that it can be done to an older Sierra..... U can do just the hood if people want to, or even the whole frontend...... So I hope by me doing this everyone can see & have no doubts about IF it can be done..... :cool:

      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

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
