New Truck

kdogg · June 9, 2007

Here it is my new Silverado. The picture is kind of poor (cell phone), but the truck makes up for it . It's a 1500 LT only a 4.8L hope it saves some on gas. I put my new wheels and step rail on. I have a GM bed liner in it, but the dealer screwed up. It's supposed to be Rhino Liner. I just have to schedule an appointment.

Nice truck. Is it lifted?

They are 20" Victory Wedge Nascar Wheels. And For Big Tool; it's not lifted but it seems like it. That's just how they are I guess.

Looks sweet.

Hopefully your hope of saving gas with the 4.8 didn't go out the window with the 20" rim upgrade I don't have the fully upgraded DIC yet - but I'm pretty sure I noticed a slight decrease in mpg (definitely noticed a slight decrease in off-the-line power, probably my sucky 3.23 gears) going from 17" w/ 245 to 18" w/ 265 on my 07 NBS.

Go Line-X or keep the drop in liner. You don't want Rhino. Either choice is far better then a regular Rhino.

I agree, tell your dealer you want Line-X, you will be much happier with it. Take our word for it and/or do your own comparison. You will see. I even saw a demo where they took a 3" x 3" sample of Line-X and "sanded" a 3" x 3" sample of Rhino. The Rhino scuffed up and the Line-X was unscathed.

You know.. I was reading your other posts and I think I agree. My last truck had LineX and I was really happy with it. And it still looks good as of yesterday when I traded it in. The only thing is the dealer I went to only does Rhino so I've been thinking to just keep the liner. It is a under rail liner too, it looks good and it was FREE. The LineX place here localy does it for about $500, but the liner was free to me. If the liner turns out bad later I will get it sprayed then. Thanks.

By the way... this liner subject is getting pretty serious! But it's good for me cause I can see what a lot of peopl's experiences are.

Again, thanks. To add to it too: the military uses it too for more important reasons with very impressive results.

It is a sweet looking truck! I am having a 6.0L shipped in from BC and it has the front plate bracket on it and the roof rails. looking at your truck I like the roof rails but you think it would look bad to remove the plate bracket?

How would line-x perform in a beat to hell scuffed up 7 year old truck bed like mine? I'm thinking about getting a liner if nothing else just to prevent rust in there.
