Well I'd like to start of saying hello to everyone I'm new to the forums and just purchased my first GM product but i'm not new to them my parents have h2's, denalis, and a c6. I previously drove a 2001 Dakota that I loved to death and customized to the hilt but always wanted to drive a GM at heart becuase the enormous amount of aftermarket parts available and the quality I've always trusted about them. So on the day after my 18th birthday (july 16) I went and picked up a 2007 Nbs Sierra SLT 4x4 ext. cab and forgot all about that old dodge I used to drive But in less than 2 weeks and under 700 mi. here are a couple of mods I did over this past weekend. e8595576.jpg Pic from the day after coming home off the lot.

Good looking truck! I actually like the look of the stock grill but these pictures of trucks with an aftermarket grill are going to make me change that soon :chevrolet:

nice truck, must be nice to have that kind of stuff when you're 18!!!!! How's the exhaust sound? Any performance gain?

 

 

The exhaust sounds awesome. Everything you could expect from Magnaflow and when I first looked in the box and saw how small the system was compared to stock I thought to myself wow, this thing is going to be loud and is going to drone like no other. But after I installed and the moment of truth came to start it I couldn't of been happier. The note is very deep and mellow, I wish is was just a pinch louder but i'm hoping and intake will wake things up but other than that perfect. It does make it noticeable when it kicks down to 4 cyl. but its still a very tolerable note. As for performance I feel a slight gain but haven't been too hard on the truck since it is still new but can tell a difference and I really think it's helped the mileage already averaged 19.1 mpg on the way home from work.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because it’s in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      Gas Prices

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
