Hey guys! Used to be on the forums a LONG time ago back when I bought my first 2016 Z71. Went through my young and dumb phase, finally got back into a green 2015 Z71 last year. Long story short didn’t have the most faith in the 6L80 in it, got tired of half tons and grossly overpaid for my current 2015 2500 back in December! 
 

early build 1 owner 2015 Silverado 2500HD, 6.0 L96, 4.10 gear, crew cab, 8’ bed, z71 110% bone stock! 
kind of a weirdly optioned truck. Has leather and heated seats, Nav, roof lights, etc. being an LT it doesn’t have a full center console though. (Yet!) truck was in immaculate shape so didn’t mind paying a few extra Pennie’s for a clean one. 
 

so far I’ve deleted a lot of the in-necessary badging the previous owner added, took off the OEM mudflaps and step bars, and ditched the 18’s with highway 265’s for a set of 2020 High Country take-off’s and 34” all terrains (fill the wheel well much better!)

 

added window shades, chrome handles, B&W hitch, and 5% tint with 50 on the windshield and a 5 brow. 
 

scored a WC Fab trans cooler cover that was already powder coated white for cheap on marketplace so threw it on too, as well as a black UWS toolbox.

Kind of stalling out with the build for now. I’ll be saving and doing one major project at a time. Here’s a long term plan (1 year plus) for the rig! 
-5” Zone Lift (w/ UCA’s)

-krpytonite front suspension components that will work with Zone kit

-37’s on the 2020 Wheels

-rear wheel spacers to match track widths (front if necessary to clear UCA)

-Ranch Hand front / rear bumpers 

-full LED conversion 

-console swap

-new style towing mirrors

-Thorley headers and full dual exhaust with cats

-Custom Tune 

-4.88 Gears

 

Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated!

Howdy! How's the mod projects so far?

Plans have changed! Building a bigger house than anticipated so decided to keep the truck level and make it easier to work out of. Scored a ranch hand front and a warn rear bumper cheap on marketplace and sold the stock ones. Will re-do the powdercoat on them eventually. Console and new style mirrors aren’t a huge priority. Will be doing JBA instead of Thorley headers to save a couple hundred bucks. Still working on finding a muffler I like, will probably run a 6” single tip just to try and confuse people into thinking it’s a diesel 😂. Going to run full Kryptonite front end and level with fox shocks. Wheel adapter.com ($$$$) 2” spacers since I do tow a 10k trailer every so often and want peace of mind. Will be running Duratrac’s of some sort since my brother gets a deal on them. Probably 325/60/20. I did color match the bow ties and have just been using the hell out of the truck. Love this thing!

      Weird drivability problem

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Following up on my topic, I put an O2 sensor in it which seems to have got rid of all the b2s1 codes (I ended up having multiple codes). Next I’ll try to figure out the P0011 but I might focus on exhaust manifolds first, they’re getting pretty rusty. I’m hoping this thread will help someone in the future.

      My expectations are a bit higher.    No faded paint or dry rotted plastic/rubber. I use a dressing and a ceramic sealant. No hazy headlights.  No door dings. Small dent in the front bumper. All rock chips repaired. No brush scratches. No windshield chips. No fender benders. Limit damage due to a proactive plan the included ceramics and PPF and prompt attention to any exterior issue. NO RUST. Stays out of the salt and had the rear wheel wells Line-X coated as well as the bed which has a bed rubber and has been under cover since before I bought it. Washed and detailed regularly. Rex chewed up the tow button, got whacked and the button replaced the same week. He's leaned his lesson. If I can train a dog the kids are easier.    All suspension is original save the King Shocks I installed very early on. 50 years ago dad told me a good shock will keep the screws in the dash tight and the front end mint. He was right. Everything within new spec yet, tight and aligned well several times. Coolant system is OEM save the modifications I made early on. Not a single leak anywhere on this machine. (Did repair an intake leak on #4 during the HPFP replacement.) The injectors I replaced didn't need to be. They checked out great. One of those, while I'm in there with the manifold off and the fuel rail apart things.  Not a stain or abrasion one to the upholstery. Have kept is covered since new. Never had a carpet, it's a work truck but the carpet squared I laid on the floor have keep the factory rubber liner MINT. Ceramic wind tint helps preserve the interior.    Original BRAKES with 60%+ left of the pads and rotors mic excellent. We just did a full preventative brake service. Disassembly, clean inspect including measurements, lube, Dot 4 power flush including ABS system.    OEM battery. OEM vacuum pump. In fact the only things not OEM are a pinion seal the high side pump and injectors and a small plastic shield around the starter. All hoses/belts etc.. are still in service and doing well. Original tires lasted 125K and had I known some additional details would have made it to 150K with legal tread. (Date out is six years, not 5 and Continental says they are good for 10 so I pulled the trigger to early)   I never let my children or grandchildren run the show. Feet on the floor and hands in your lap. Dog gets a pass.    A truck is a machine the gives you back whatever your willing to put into it. Same as a computer or a butter knife. I use a shovel but I scrap it, hose it off and oil it when I'm done with it. My original spade I've had 60 years.      Set the bar higher...you spend less money. No, before you ask, I have spent a fraction of the cost of a new truck in my entire maintenance program including disposables, filters/fluids etc.

      Gas Prices

      5.48 regular still here at Kroger. Stations here aren't getting the memo but the owners are probably tired of programming prices up/down with every headline and futures gyration.   WTI Crude is over 80 again but seems mostly unfazed after the exchange of fire in the Middle East over the weekend and ceasefires falling apart. 🤦‍♂️ Enough already...

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By newdude · Posted

      Keep an eye on it with them.  Did they give you an order #?  Did they actually have allocation for one?   I double checked the dates for 2026 regular cab 1500s for Chevy and GMC, the last dealer order submission date was April 30th.
