Back on January 8th My GMC HD2500 was ordered and I just received it on February 12th.  I ordered a Onyx Black GMCHD2500 Extended Cab 4wd 8.1/6speed SLE.  This truck is very nice.  I was surprised on how well this truck rides and the power from 8.1 is awesome.  Any way now that my truck is here I will be asking questions and help answer any of yours that I can.  I will be posting pics probably this weekend on my webpage and will let you know.  

 

I am getting the bed Rhino lined Monday.  I will be buying some new wheels and tires and a shell within the next month does anyone have any suggestions on tires, wheels, and a shell?  What are some prices you guys have paid on shells? I live in Kansas City.

Sounds like a nice truck!!!  I know you'll love it!!!  The 245/75/16 stock tires look awful.  265's will fit perfectly and 285's may need a small amount of cranking on the T-bars.

 

I have a lear cap (shell) on my HD and I think it is nice.  I paid arounf $1100 for mine but it has the carpeted head liner that adds about $100.  Here is a little pic of my set-up...

Without a doubt, BFG All Terrains are the best looking tire and also work phenomenally.  I have the LT285's on mine on the stock PYO wheels but they aren't a perfect fit as the stock rim is too narrow and as such causes them to "crown" a little.

 

Someone here posted the pics of their wheels and they were "stonecrushers" or "rockcrushers" which looked pretty sweet.  I think pics of it are in the thread titled "Silver Bullet HD"

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
