I picked up my new 2500 crew cab diesel on Saturday, traded in my 2016 silverado 1500 crew cab.  This is the first diesel I've personally owned, but I have years of positive experiences with other duramax equipped 2500s, a 2013, a 2017, and another 2020.  I'm looking forward to having my own.

Pic of the new rig...3500 Denali HD Duramax. I absolutely love this thing and has been my preferred driver since the day I got it. Can’t wait to start doing the mods on it. I already put a McGaughy’s Leveling Kit and new control arms on it...now looking for new wheels and shocks!

Kylant- Thanks! That’s the pic before the kit and here is one after. The kit is advertised as 2”, but the shop who did mine, dialed it in to make sure the front wasn’t higher than the back. I also replaced my control arms with McGaughy’s. Believe it or not, it drives much better now.

I traded my white 2020 HC 2500 Duramax for a 2020 Silver HC 3500 Duramax.  I had just over 40,000 miles on the 2500.  I went up one size on my tires from 285/65/20 to 295/65/20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2's.  Rims are 20x9 +18.  Kept the bars stock on the 3500, just pinned back the front of the liners a bit with zip ties.  No rubbing at all.IMG_6672.thumb.jpeg.272517fb139e28626196f529a84d8af9.jpegIMG_6673.thumb.jpeg.3d60a9a0e66707ece630c51bbbabeb5b.jpeg

Thread needs a bump.

Everybody got wet and dirty yesterday. Gibby's first kill is also her first double.

Just picked up my new 2020 3500 LT crew cab gasser in Northsky Blue yesterday.  There aren't a lot of blue ones on this thread and there needs to be more.

 

I traded in a 2015 1500 in Rainforest Green with 121k on it.  The upgrade is for pulling a travel trailer that beat up my trans and suspension pretty bad.

Just recently bought this after getting into an accident and totaling my 2020 Silverado 1500 Trail Boss.  This one is a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 SLT with the 6.6 gas.  Im really enjoying it so far.  Getting the spray-in bed liner and tonneau cover installed this weekend.  I really am not liking the rims and tires at all.  I want to keep the suspension completely stock but would like some new rims and tires that offer a more aggressive look and are good for snow and ice (I live in Alaska).  Ill also be replacing the factory side steps with all black tubular steps.

 

Im considering Fuel Blitz or Warlord rims in 20x9 and Ridge Grappler, KO2's or Duratracs for tires.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
