I mainly did it just for looks but I am sure it should help the engine get more air and more power. I don't have any pictures of mine from under the hood but this is what it looks like under the insulator.

Typical GM fashion. Route it the longest way possible and use the most plastic! Lol. The air cleaners on the NBS trucks were ridiculous.

Just finished my HD hood install on my 2016 GMC And I would like to share the part numbers and information for anyone that would like to do the same. This should be the same for 2014 and up. For Silve

It looks like they eventually routed it to the side with the air box but needed to go to the other side to find space for a water trap

Can you order the hood pre-painted to the factory color?

Don't think the conversion will work for the 16/17 Chevy's. Grilles and hoods are entirely different.

 

GMC's work because they are ALMOST identical.

Yes you will most likely need lights, core support, grill, hood, etc

I applaud 14GMC14 for taking this step, that I imagine few have thought of doing but no one has completed or posted on here yet till now. But like MyFavTruck asks, and hasn't been answered yet, can the hood be delivered painted already? I kinda presume yes, as 14GMC14 doesn't itemize labor and paint for the hood.

I don't think they offer them pre painted I ordered mine at my local dealership and that was the only part number that was offered.

Thank you. The worst part was getting all of the correct parts that I needed. The people at the parts department aren't very helpful at my local dealership. The hood comes ready to be paint so I guess paint depends on where you go and how much they charge. I payed $400 for mine. As far as labor goes I ended up installing it myself. Was really easy to do just a couple of screws for the hinges and springs.

Correct.. only the 14-15 silverado can put the the hood... but you need the lights and bumper to complete the swap.... but I have something up my sleeve.. wink wink

It's funny, I work at a dealership and wanted to do the same thing to my 17 as I love the look of the new 2500 hoods but we had no idea if they would fit. We were hoping to get spare hood in at some point and I'd try it to see if it would fit but now that it does, I'm gonna go ahead and do it.

Thanks for the part numbers OP! Though that hood for me in Canada at my cost is 860$ lol urgh.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By newdude · Posted

      I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By LCH14 · Posted

      Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.
