Got the color matched Bowtie, tailgate handle and upgraded DL3 mirrors with Pgamboa DIY kit installed this weekend.

Currently getting the taillights tinted and hopefully ordering some new rims this week.

I'm about 95% sure I'm going with KMC 704 in matte black. 22 in the front and 24 in the rear. And Pirelli tires. 255/35-22 and 275/30-24

Truck is looking killer. How do you like the intake?

Thank you. I love the intake. I've been using Spectre products for years. Great bang for the buck. They're just over 150 on amazon. Fit perfectly.

Black wheel skins and center caps just to change the look till my new wheels come in

Bed grab handle fillers

How do you like the wheel skins? Where did you get the center caps? I am thinking about trying the skins until I get some different wheels. Truck is looking good!

The wheel skins are decent. My only complaint is you see the edge of stock rim by the tire. Other than that they fit really well and I've had several compliments on them. Center caps are stock GM I got on eBay.

Ok thanks for getting back to me. I have been looking at them for awhile just didn't know if they would look cheesy

Just got my custom 2 piece driveshaft conversion in yesterday.  Gonna try and get it and my helper bags put in this weekend weather permitting.Will be nice to be able to haul stuff again and also not destroy the driveshaft on the cross-member every damn bump.

nice truck... do you have any picture of that custom docking console for your S8?

Thanks. I don't currently.  I just did a center console swap last week.  I still have the parts in my garage.  I'll take a few pics and post them.

    • I wasn’t commenting on your post. Certainly wasn’t arguing. I was making an observation on my long term experience with supposedly proper length of driving for proper heat cycles. Works for me. Although I have seen water or vapor come out of exhaust when vehicles weren’t run very long and shut off. It’s very humid in the morning. Then hot and humid. 
    • Not what I said but I can work with it anyway. Complete combustion produces CO2 and H20. When it's cold enough you can 'see' it as water vapor but it is always there and more so the better the tune up. It's physics, not an argument. In a cold motor when the cylinder jacket is below the condensation temperature the water goes to the pan and not the PCV system. Heating the oil moves it from liquid to vapor where it is removed by the PCV system. When and how much depends on temperatures. Of the air, the water and so on. It has little to with the humidity. Water is a combustion product.  
    • I can only guess as well that something was clicked on that brought you to the half ton choices by accident. By all means try again and chose the 3500 and sort out that its the cab and box configuration you want and choose four wheel drive ( rather obvious to have a transfer case ) and to make sure the dually isn't chosen. I find or at least did a couple of years ago when I was sifting through the options that it would sometimes jump ahead after choosing the series of truck and in this case 3500 and skip some of the other initial configuration choices and have to watch the heading bar and sometimes back up by choosing the first in the series of option break downs. I think sometimes the computer will remember items that were last chosen and skip over the first part. Anyway go through it all and depending on the trim level chosen and I think the LT is one that may fall into that where the option of having the 4 high auto transfer case can be chosen, where as a High Country doesn't show that option as it just comes with the fancier ( not necessarily better though in terms of potential problems ) transfer case but for sure both transfer case choices are equipped with high and low range in the HD truck segment. Like Newdude said who works at a dealership, its the half tons that are the ones that will come with the single speed unless certain options or trim levels are chosen that add the two speed transfer case but as your looking at an HD, you don't have to worry about that hot mess.    One item that at least didn't show up and not sure if it does yet or not in the HD options on the manufactures pubic website is the upfitter in cab switch option if one is desiring that. Unfortunately its not wired in at the factory but the panel with the switches is on the dash but the wiring harness to be installed gets tossed under the rear seat to be installed by whomever after the fact to complete the installation. 
    • Yesterday we brought home a 6yr  old Havanese dog from a nearby SPCA.  We've had her for 24 hours and we are delighted with how well she is adjusting to her new home.  It  was a huge decision to adopt a dog at this stage in our lives but we believe we made the right choice!   it was reported that her first 6 years were ones of neglect.  I think she's already realizing her life is going to get a whole lot better...  so is ours!    
    • I thought I was building a HD 3500 srw, maybe I was lost.
