Additional pics of my BlackOut 07 NNBS Silverado with 3" Bodylift, 2.5" leveling Kit, Custom Wheels, Tires with the newly installed NFabs coated in LineX with Extra.

 

The NFabs really took care of hiding the exposed frame. Still need to get gap guards, paint the back bumper and get a single exit exhaust at stock location which I plan on powercoating from the muffler back like the wheels, if the powder can handle the heat, or I may just do the tip.

Looks great. I love everything including wheels being all black...why did you go with a body lift instead of full suspension lift. Just curious because I am getting a 2" suspension lift done pretty soon.

Looks alright. I'd ditch the body lift. I personally think it's ugly with the gap there...

 

Which wheels are those?

Mainly price and the fact that I've heard suspension lifts tend to be harder on a truck than bodylifts, and since it was a brand new truck, I thought against it.

Gap? Are you referring to the gap in the wheel wells? That's what they make gap guards for dude..that's why I wrote that I have yet to get those, they're on order. No way in hell I am ditching the BL..cost me close to $1,000 for installation..what are you crazy? haha

 

The wheels are GMC wheels bought off of ebay, sanded down the GMC logo on the caps painted those and had the wheels powdercoated.

It's er... uh... VERY BLACK. Do you have a helicopter to match?

 

Looks really good. Very slick and nicely done. I like everything but the black wheels... (the powdercoating should hold up well on them).

 

I realize you were going for a blackout look. I think you succeeded in creating a really cool sinister looking truck. Enjoy!

It keeps looking better and better. :D

 

BTW, if you don't mind me asking, where did you get the 3" Performance Accesories Body Lift?

 

Thanks, sure I bought the 3" BL on ebay. Only thing is the box arrived half open(because the shipper only used 3 staplees and hadn't taped it just in case :shakehead: , so I was hoping none of the smaller pieces fell out en route, which they apparently had not, everything was there.

:shakehead: Sinsister (evil) was the look I was going for...thanks

 

Funny thing is there is a cop in town that drives around in an all black police cruiser which I think is a Charger. So, I think it looks like a cop truck too...ha

Very black, very cool, and very well done. You have done a good job so far of covering up all of the details that give away the fact that you have a body lift, and it sounds like you have good plans for the rest as well. :shakehead:

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
