Post your ride with all the upgrades and future projects and considerations

[s10dragracer888]

Hello all, I’m new to this forum. I’ve posted a couple comments and replied to a couple threads, but I want to start a new one. I’m going to post my 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. It’s a Double cab, 4.3L with the 6L80 transmission.

 

here’s a couple things about the axles I’ve discovered while modifying it.

 

8.6 AAM rear differential. G80.

8.25 AAM front differential. G80. SU5.

I’ll post photos, and write a list of mods.

let’s start with a list. Some are cosmetic, some are performance, and some are just modifications I did because it’s what I like.

 

• rear block removal (including bump stop extension blocks)

• brake caliper paint (red)

• High country instrument cluster and steering wheel audio control upgrade

• ADDW1 v3.3 catch can

• K&N cold air intake kit (for v8) modified with a reducer silicone coupling to throttle body

• Flowmaster FlowFX muffler (soon to be super 44 and dual pipes)

• Rough Country SF-1 smooth style fender flares

• The Western Edge 20” x 12” wheels, -44mm offset, 110mm hub bore

• Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 305/55R20 tires (12 ply, load range F)

• Aierxuan faux leather, waterproof seat covers for front and rear

• GM Z71 floor liners

• Line-X spray in bedliner

• X Cover hard tri-fold bed cover (Amazon, $680, was a good deal)

• DNA Motoring Black housing, clear reflector lens headlights for 2019-2023 custom/wt

• Sealight LED headlight bulbs

• Lasfit turn signal, license plate, running light, and reverse bulbs

• Proform Bow tie rear differential cover with matte, crinkle black finish and stainless steel hardware

• Bilstein B8 5100 series shocks and struts (front trail boss, rear custom/wt/LT/High Country)

• front differential drain plug mod with weld-in bung and magnet affixed to drain plug

• Redline badges, and Trail Boss hood spear decals (modified for door application)

• pedal covers with rubber grips

• Goodyear shatterproof in-channel window vent visors

• Lund/AVS High profile hood deflector

• Stillen Air intake scoop

• Windshield visor tint (5%)

• LED bowtie hitch cover

thank you! I’m contemplating a few more, I’m still deciding on some components.

I wish there was more support for the 4.3 as far as performance…but the LV3 DOES have support before 2019 (k2xx). The ‘19-‘20 lv3 doesn’t have the capability to be tuned because the programs are still locked (HPTuners). Hopefully, I can find a decent cam kit with non-AFM lifters in the future, and by then, there will be more tuning support for the v6, like the v8.
