Chain steering wheel, fuzzy dice, curb feelers, and a flux capacitor baby!

 

Most of that stuff can be bought from our site sponsors, but you'll have to talk to tmf6902 about the capacitor, they're pretty rare, and I understand he's the one with the hookup.

 

And always remember the immortal words of Bubb-Rub. "The whistle goes: woo-wooooo!". And that's what every Chevy needs....The woo-wooooo. :D

 

 

Seriously though, it really depends on what type of person you are, and what type work/recreation you do with your rig.

 

For $2000, you can do quite a bit.

 

1. For the electronic/widget/bass-head...DVD entertainment, full-on custom stereo, etc.

2. For the off-road enthusiast....Lift, winch, brush guard, lockers, this list could be pages long.

3. For the performance enthusiast... Port/polish heads, install some headers, a cam, a tune, and BANG! ZOOM! TO THE MOON!

4. Or, you could probably get a pretty nifty paint job for 2k or less.

 

$0.02

All motor baby, the allison can handle it.

 

I am more about go than show.

 

air intake

cam

roller rockers

exhaust

headers

bowl and port job with some neck reilf valves

 

Currently only about, $980 into the motor on mine. of couse the head work would put you over the 2000 but in the need for power, I think a little over won't hurt.

Really usefull: spray in bed liner, reciever hitch, tool box, HD floor mats.

 

Needed badly: self powered sub-woofer, tint.

 

Power up: K&N drop in, power programmer, low restriction muffler.

 

That's more than five but where I would start on it with $2000. Shop carefully and you should still have change.

* Westers Custom Tune

* Rhino Liner

* New Shocks (Factory Shocks are terrible on the HD's)

* Synthetics Fluids Everywhere

* Air Lift Springs w/ On-Board Compressor

 

This would be a good start... :D

1. Westers Custom Tune - without a doubt this is one great mod

2. Vara-Ram Air Intake System - assuming their MPG gains are accurate

3. New rims

4. New tires

5. Rancho RS9000 shocks and the onboard control kit

 

Probably blew the 2Gs already but that's what I'd love to do to my truck.

If you had $ 2000 to spend to upgrade your current truck, other than tires and wheels....what would be your top 5 upgrades.

or save up an additional 1600 and get a supercharger from magna.

2. Line-X the bed

3. E-Lockers for the Front/Rear --if they'd ever make them

4. 16k Warn Winch & a 6" lift

    • A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.
    • Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?  
    • I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery. 
    • The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.
    • Got heavy rain, hail and light rain yesterday.
