Hey everyone! I'm new to the site, and a proud of the NBS Silverado for about 4 months now. I was just writing to all of you guys to tell you that this is an amazing site!!!!!! I am on another websites but for jeeps, and im sorry to say this but you guys are by far the better crowd. As retarded as this might sound, you guys are a much more polite crowd, willing to share mods and tips than the other site. and there isn't a lot of fighting going on about stuff like the other site, being rude to the new guys, and to the people who are not mechanically inclined, stuff like that. Anyways I just wanted to say thanks for all the tips ive read on here. and keep up the good work. gonna try to get more involved as i learn more about the truck. Boomboom07

Welcome to the site. You will always find good tips AND dos and dont's that others have tried. Definitely a great bunch of people who love their trucks and are willing to share the tricks of the trade.

Yeah, I have already spent more money on this truck than other previous. I got alpine stainless steel, black powdercoated side steps, line-x bedliner, tinted windows. thats pretty much it for now. I have pics on my albums.I don't know if you guys are able to view them. Thats all i figured out how to do. They are from the camera on my phone so quality isn't that good, but u guys will get the idea.

Thanks guys. The jeep pic wasn't supposed to be in there. I clicked on the wrong pic. I plan on getting on an exhaust for it. can't decide on a magnaflow, or a flowmaster. all i have ever had on my trucks was flowmaster, but those were all 4-bangers. I want it to exit right before the rear tire. Might get an edge evolution, but after reading what you guys have said about now im not so sure. might go with the diablo, but we will see.Im gonna have to play with this to see how u got the pics on here like that, im so computer illiterate!!!!

    • Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.
    • That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”. 
    • I wonder kind of nuts and bolts they will come up with next? Jim
    • “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
