That looks great, man.  I've been looking at the 3" leveling/lift kits but this is enough to make me think about the 5" kits.  How is the Zone kit on the freeway? 

 

Also - gotta love the look of the GMC front end.  Not just the grill that has been talked about a lot in comparison with the Chevrolet 2500, but the lines on the whole front end.  The proportions on the lift/wheels really come together well with the body lines of the fenders and hood.  Nice choice on the upgrades.

Thank you! We drove it 900 miles home to Florida from Illinois and loved it. I thought my girl would hate me by the time we made it home, but the ride was NIIIIIICE. Maybe the Fox 2.0 shocks make that big of a difference, but this is my first lifted truck with big wheels and first 2500 and I am absolutely over the moon! Pull the trigger, you won't regret it! Oh AND it fits in my garage [emoji13]d3949daab75b60e30f5676f9eb5396d6.jpg

Your truck looks great with the black trim that you're adding!

 

I had my red hooks re-powdered black and it made a huge difference.

 

Yours would look better black IMHO.  To me, they look like nipple rings on your truck!

Nipple rings ahahaha! I just black out the gmc and it looks twenty times better. When I get time I’ll do the rings.

Hi - 

 

What dash speakers are these?  Did you find OEM plug adapters or did you have to cut?  How do these sound?  Wanting to do them too, just haven't find right ones yet.

 

Thanks!

Kenwood eXcelon 2 3/4”. Didn’t find OEM plugs, but soldered them. Sounds good, can tell the diff with the highs, sub also sounds good. It’s not a JL10W6, definitely budget but plug and play as well as bolt on fitted sub make it worth it. I’m happy with it.

Well fellas, I'm deployed again and missing the truck.  Figured I'd get back on here and see what you're doing to yours and I like what I'm seeing, so figured I'd share.

 

2020 2500HD High Country, Black on Black 6.6 Duramax. First went to black emblems and added all weather mats from the dealer. (Picked this truck up in Oct 2019, had to wait for mods to hit the market, so it started slow)  FTS 9" lift with Fox shocks and resi's.  24x14 Arkon's on 38x15.5 Fury tires.  Amp research XL steps and Bodyguard A2L Baja bumper.  Bak Revolver X2 bed cover with Bedrug bed mat.  Nicoko bumper lighting and rock lights, with Oracle wheel lights.  MTI Acoustics under-seat sub enclosure with JL 12TW3 powered with JL RD500/1 to add deeper sound to the BOSE system.  Did emblem delete and stainless steel sleeve on the exhaust tip. Also changed license and reverse lighting to daylight led bulbs.

 

Probably do some more minor accent lighting and the spare tire delete Hornblasters 540 next.  Would like to get differential cover swapped out and maybe some tuning in the future, just didn't want to be the first to mess with the electronics.  Also, if i can get GM to confirm that the DVD headrests marked for the High Country actually have the embroidered logo on the front, will install those too for the boys.

 

Keep up the inputs, always excited to see what I can do next!

Good looking setup!

Added an Undercover Armor Flex cover and the Undercover Swing Case. The Line X addition to the cover seems to be a great idea. I previously had the Undercover Ultra Flex on my 1500 and it was awesome. Hoping the new one lives up to the old one.

That's the look I'll be going for when I build my bumper. It will also have receiver recessed into it so I can maneuver my boat easier in the back yard or other storage. On hold until I get some house projects out of the way first. Hoping I can get started before winter. Also plan to get a retrax tonna cover and build a rectangular tube light bar/roll bar.

Just picked up my new Denali a month ago. So far had the sled deck built for it Ceramic coated, blacked out gmc logos, blacked out side marker lights, hardwired a radar detector in now just waiting for BDS to release their 4”lift kit to get some new rims and rubber.

What’d you use to black out the side markers? They look pretty dark.

I blacked out mine with "VViViD Air-Tint Dark Black Headlight Taillight Tint Air-Release Vinyl Wrap Film 17.75 Inches x 60 Inches Roll"

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GQRQ996/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_S3HgFbB7C6WBV

It's been a few months and it's holding up well so far. Can't beat blacking them out for less than $15 dollars.d8d044780b9e111dc93a426cf09c6144.jpg1ae7f90e9d6a66ff9cad7e8faff74667.jpg

    • So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.
    • My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.
    • Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?
    • I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions. 
    • I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
