I might have to give that Eastwood stuff a try. No visible rust on the rockers that I can see but I'd like to keep it that way especially living in a  location with lots of snow and as a result, plenty of salt on the roads...

Here is my 2015 GMC Sierra Work Truck 5.3 4x4. I purchased it just under a year ago. It currently has a 4/6 drop. I enjoy reading the threads on here so I figured I'd make one! Here is what I have don

Conversion is done!! Actually really straight forward. Makes a huge difference IMO!

Finished up my winter prep. I took the plugs out of the rockers and filled them and the cab corners with this.     Then I coated a couple spots on the rocker with POR-15. Just min

Looks like a sound system is in the future?

Yes it sure is! Just doing research on what kit I want to use. Thinking this one

https://www.gm-navigation.com/shop/2014-2015-io3-to-io5-6-basework-truck-8-upgrade-gmc/

 

I had an idea recently. Since I have the IO3 radio currently I thought I would use the center console front USB ports as a phone charging ports. I hallowed out the stock ports and glued some USB male to female extensions ran them under the console and into the 12v plug in the console. It works slick!

Put the truck to work at the Christmas Tree farm! Its funny how many people are suprised what a lowered truck can do lol its still a 4x4! Turned plenty of heads in the muddy mess there.

But of course it didn't stay muddy for long

I also ordered some exhaust pieces. I have a carven exhaust on the truck. It sounds good but its dumped under the cab. It didn't bother me at first when I put it on but the drone its getting old. So I ordered a resonator and a tip to have a exhaust shop weld on and extend the tail pipe back to the factory location.

Switch and plate installed

Relays in place

 

Wiring might not look as clean as factory installed but once I put that cover on who is gonna know is even there. Im 95% pretty much done I just need to tap the power and ground source and I'll be all set.

 

Parts used

 

23373685 GM Rear 3pc glass $200 used plus $65 installation

23104426 Trim Plate Gray $21 new

22774498 Switch $25

ACDelco PT796 Pigtail for the switch $25

5 Pole NC/NO Relay x2 $10

 

So about $350 total

 

I scored a brand new GM rear sliding window off of FB Marketplace for $125!

Sorry for the poor photos it was dark after I picked it up last night

Then I ordered a switch panel off of Ebay

I ordered a panel with the HomeLink. I have read a few threads on it; I am not 100% positive but I believe the HomeLink is plug and play but I will be sure to update whether that is true or not. 

 

Now I just need to schedule to get the window installed and I also need the motor.

Bad news... Last Saturday I fell and broke my arm pretty bad. So I won't be able to finish this for another month or so.

Well with some help I was able to get my new overhead console installed. And I can 100% confirm the homelink is plug and play! Just pop the old one out 2 screws 2 clips put the new one with homelink and and you're good to go.

I also got the back window tinted to match the rest of the truck

And for the fun of it, here is the hardware they installed in my arm. Perhaps a build thread coming soon 😂

I got a GM bedrug, I went back and forth from doing a spray in or a bed rug. Never had a bed rug before and have heard alot of people swear by then so figured I'd give it a try! I also got a really handy swing out storage box.

Finally had a weekend in the high 30°'s so I gave it a good detail. I also finally decided what route I wanted to go for taillights. While I do like the 2016+ SLT/Denali style upwards of $500 for a set plus $150 or so for the harness just isn't worth it to me. And I can't find any aftermarket ones I really like so I decided to just convert my current ones to LED bulbs. I ordered the bulbs and resistors yesterday.

The resistors I ordered are plug and play and state they only run at a temp of 200° much lower than the cheaper gold kind.

I got my LED taillight bulbs and resistors in over the weekend. Very happy with both the bulbs and the quality of the resistors. Especially since it was all plug and play.

 

 

 

One more I took over the weekend. Can't wait for spring so I can keep it clean.

Look's Good - your 4 / 6 drop would you do it again ???

 

Thank you! And absolutely I would! Eventually I will need a crew cab and I will do the same drop and kit again. Mcgaughys with Belltech shocks. It honestly drives and rides almost stock

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
