I recently traded my 2003 Silverado 2500HD for a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500. Loved the 3/4 ton but really wasn't totally necessary for me and I got a heck of a deal on the new truck at Laura. I'm sure there will be plenty of minor mods along the way but really want to do a suspension lift and wheels/tires mainly. Here she is:

First thing I did was get the front windows tinted to match the factory tint on the rears.

Last night I used some vinyl I had at the house and wrapped the GMC emblems.

I got it from Northern Tool but it is actually a Better Built box just rebranded for Northern Tool.

Awesome thank you. I'll have to look them up so I can get rid of my tool box that covers my back window!

Time for an update. I put exhaust on last weekend. Magnaflow muffler dumped behind the axle and clamped the flapper valve open. Also removed the valance off the front bumper, added a ReadyLift leveling kit, and stubby antenna.

Here's a few pics. The second pic was taken before the level.

      The Peckish Synapse

      Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?

      Gas Prices

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
