Ah, the good ol' TBSS...

 

I thoroughly enjoyed spanking the crap outta one a couple weeks ago on the interstate.  He tried to keep up bless him....

 

It was like the little engine that could....only it couldn't!

 

I don't know if he had any engine work but I know for sure he had a gutted exhaust (or open headers) because that thing was obnoxiously loud.  We were done playing and I let off so the wife would quit her bitchin, and an old man in a Vette came outta nowhere and blew my doors off.  I think the loud TBSS peaked his interest.

 

Good times!

LOL, yes, the new 6.2L along with the 10 spd make these T1 trucks pretty quick. Especially since Gm really doesn't have them set up for performance like Ford has in the Craptor and the Limited F-150. 

Also, what hindered the TBSS was the 4 spd tranny. GM screwed up by not putting in the tremec 6 spd that you could get in the SSR trucks. For the year in 06-09 they were pretty quick though. And with the mods I had,  I truly loved hauling the family in a corvette SUV and spanking 4.6L Rustangs all day long.  My only regret was not putting a different muffler on it, the Magnaflow droned terrible at highway speeds.  But I did have 4 TV's in it to muffle out the sound of the exhaust...LOL!!  (Alpine 8 inch head unit, 2 alpine 7 inch headrests, and 1 alpine 10 inch overhead DVD player.) It was sweet going down the road at night watching the cars slow down to see all the TVs going.)  Those were great times!!

I see you changed avatar from the Silverado?

I did, needed a change, drove my C7 from NJ to Austin TX, stopped at Gas Monkey Garage on the way through. Just thought it was a cool picture.

I’ve had  12 or 14 wides on the last 3 Chevys. Never once got a rock chip on side of truck. I’ve gotten a small one on passenger tow mirror, but nothing more. 

If you say so guy.  I'm just saying I've seen it too many times.  You had those tires with no mudguards?  Hard to believe but whatever.  I'm not knocking his set up but those tires with no mudguards is a recipe for disaster on the paint.  Especially with today's paint.   It is what it is.   I know he won't be happy when he starts getting dings and chips. Hey, if he doesn't get any then great.  Then so be it.  Anyway, it's all good bud

I have the mudguards on current 2020, but with x14s they’re useless. On my 2017 I took them off and had x14s and after 50k miles only had the one chip on tow mirror. I think that coating

GM started using on the lower half actually helps. It’s weird cause you can literally press into it with your fingernail and it’ll dent. I’m guessing it’s just soft enough to make the rocks bounce off?

Has anyone else purchased these? I have the sharp truck caps, but was considering changing

Im just curious as to why? I could see wanting a smooth shaved look but seems like replacing a functional piece of plastic with a plastic cap. Truck looks good and your choice of course but maybe paint them to match the body?  Ive always considered buying the stock mudguards for behind the tires but was always worried that they were stiff and could catch or bottom out on something. Those small ones on the front of the rear tires i thought were ok but ive always had the factory trim on the wheel wells and they didnt stand out as bad. Just an opinion but either way the truck looks good man
