Sweet Truck!

 

Thats the kind of truck i dream of having one day!!! I really like the clear corners and the euro tails as well... They add a nice look to a bad @ss truck!

Paco, grill and bumper covers are painted, soon to come are Escalade handles and a C3 tailgait handle also painted. Thanks for the compliment.

Now why in the heck does GM not paint those bumper caps the same color as the rest of the truck.  They look so much better that way, unless the truck has black flares and accesories on it.

8100HD nice looking truck!!!

 

got a extended cab 2500 w/8.1/allison with the standard rims looking to go both taller and wider after I burn up the stock tires so:

 

what size wheels and tires are u running there? how much were those wheels? and did u lift your torsion bars? it seams to sit higher in the front than mine (may be crew ext. cab diffrence?)

Raventia, Tires are 285 BF AT's on American Racing Baja's 16x8, My torsion bars are cranked up a bit.  When I bought the rims they were on special for $82 each tires about $150 each. Hope this helps. :D

shure dose, are they 285/75R16 right or is the sidewall higher? no clearance problems in turning I hope, and the setback is good right?

 

reason I am asking is because those are the kind of wheel style I was looking at and that is a great price the stock wheels/tires leave the wheel well verry emty looking and a bit more height would be nice to  :thumbs: did u get the rims locally or on line? seams the high shipping weight/cost would negate any saving u could get on line?

 

these are the ones here?

You will need to trim your lower airdam, and maybe your inner left fender liner, not a big deal, mine rub alittle on my mudflaps but that's all, well worth the looks it gets.

The truck is looking good, painting all those pieces really makes a big difference

 

BTW you may want to check the link in your sig, it's got an extra URL tag at the end of it, just a heads up.

    • Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.
    • That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”. 
    • I wonder kind of nuts and bolts they will come up with next? Jim
    • “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
