7 hours ago, Stand By said:

Curious if when any of you guys were accessing the roof by dropping the headliner, if you took the opportunity to see what was in or under the plastic spoiler over the back window? I'm curious as to how durable the thing is for possibly adding some LED's for back illumination, or some Amber's if I were to mount a plow later. Thinking of some smaller flush mount types. May also add marker lights to the front of the roof down the road as well, so would need to drop the liner anyway.

Monday the exhaust disappeared

Did the flowmaster 817933

It is quite aggressive just alittle less bite then no exhaust

FYI if u have built in fifth wheel package u will have to cut and weld the driver side to fit.

Left the tail pipes off for now not sure what I'm gonna do with them yet

that's good to hear you stuffed 305s on there ....I think stock rims look perfect and will keep mine,  I know I can fit a 295 no problem....you didn't crank on t bars did you?

this is a walkthru for rear seat removal 
if there is anything that may be missing or questions please pm me and I will modify my post
I haven't done it this way yet but it should work  and only take 10-15 mins to do
to start u need to pull all the head rest completely out (buttons on side of support) also there is a tilt button on the headrest itself 
e622e0a931a616716c109432eceedd10.jpg
next u will have to pull the headrest supports out 
to do this u will put a screwdriver in the slot as pictured below pull toward the front a bit and lift up on the support 
should slide out fairly easy

next fold the bench seat up and remove the 4 10 mm bolts against the back wall  (((blue stars)))
u will also have to remove the center seatbelt that is a T50 above the jack tools

fold the bench back down
then with a pick or wire u have to get behind the seat and pull up on the hood latch things (3 near child restraint brackets) (yellow lines in picture above)

u will then pull forward on the seat and it should fall off 
from this point I believe u can access anything u need 
I removed the bench first when I pulled mine but it should be easier to get to the 18 mm bolts that hold the bench in after removing the back
if u have heated rear seats be sure to unplug them on the driver side 
 
 

Thank you!! Your instructions helped tremendously.
Have all the room I need now to drill holes for my air lines [emoji1690]
Not having to remove the seat just the back is a huge plus.

Great work! I was volunteer fire in TN, moved to Florida and they don't have any slots here. I do miss it. Looks super clean!

So ziabart finally opened up and got me in for
Steps rhino coated
Ceramic
Rust proofing
Window treatment
Interior detailer
And with only 1400 miles the first parts are being replaced
e67d86a6142d13e9c7daa52e6e543e10.jpg

I was pretty pissed when they told me about it
They already had parts ordered and didn't call me first[emoji35]
So when I got there and saw the damage I asked how much of a discount I was getting...they said they can do something for me ...I settled for a full interior detail whenever I want it... they charge $200 for that service....
Still pissed it happened but makes it alittle easier to sleep since I can't put the first dent in it lmao

Sad! The first one always hurts the worst, glad it’s behind you now. Sorta, it’s not fixed yet

Call 911! 

J.K. Since they broke the cherry, you aughta tell them to expect to be paying for it for the next 18 years.

    • I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing. 
    • get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.
    • This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.
    • Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving. 
    • 1/2 qt over full ain`t gonna hurt $h!t. Most times, a whole qt won`t either. Most have windage trays now. As long as the crank isn`t slapping itself in the oil, it`s not the end of the world.   We used to overfill 1 qt at the track, at race time. Better to have it over full than having the pan sucked dry at 6500 rpm`s.
