Current modifications -

 

Cognito Leveling kit - torsion bars are cranked all the way. Height to the fenders in the front is 42.25" and 44.25" in the rear

Bilstein shocks

1.5" blocks in the rear

 

6000k HIDs in the high and low beams

 

Line-X with Extra spray in bedliner

 

AMP Powered Steps with LED lighting

 

22.9.5 Weld Evo Velocity 8 wheels wrapped with 305/45/22 Nitto 404 tires. This package is usually used on my 2005 Sierra HD. I test fit them on this truck for now. They will probably be replaced with another set of Weld wheels. The tires measure 32" tall. I'm going to try to fit 33s or 34s when they are replaced.

 

Next to be installed is the new Pioneer AVIC Z2, Vizualogic back-up camera and Vizualogic headrests with 9" screens. The passenger's side will have a built in DVD player. I'm always waiting for performance parts to become available. Want more power!!! :chevy:

I was thinking about going with a lift but I'm very happy with how the truck looks and the tires are tucked in really nice!

My buddy has been using my other truck for the last week. I need to get some measurements from that one to compare. I believe this one is a couple of inches taller. The nose is more aggressive so it looks bigger.

Looks great Tom. How do you like those mirrors, I'm thinking of going with them on a new ride when I replace my 99 hopefully before the fall.

Are the front wheel wells even smaller on the new trucks. I like running 285's myself and hate the fact that I have to crank the t bars to fit them, where ford and dodge can fit them no problem. The tires still look very close even having a leveling kit and cranking the t bars. Why can't GM see that a lot of people out there like their hd trucks to look good and personalized like the half tons.

Tom,

Looks tough! Now that you have had a hands on view of the suspension and frame components, are there any significant differences between the GMT900's and GMT800's? I have crawled under them at dealerships and they look almost identical to my truck. How is the LMM? Similar to the LBZ? I also noticed the absence of the "DURAMAX Allison Transmission" badge on the door. Did you remove it? I am planning on debadging my truck and I think that is the only one I plan on leaving in place. I think it kind of signifies that "yeah, there is monster under the hood". Great looking truck!

This is the first truck that I've owned with the split mirrors so I have to get used to them. I'm looking forward to useing them while towing my 32' car hauler. I'll actually be able to see back there!

 

The new wheelwells are a little smaller (shaped different) so it take a little more to get big tires under there.

 

I haven't taken a good look under and LBZ but everything pretty much looks the same as my LLY. I removed all of the badges except for the 2500 HD. I was going to pull those off but I think they break things up a little.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
