Just Bought A 08 Silverado 2500 Hd Crew

polarisidiot · May 13, 2008

I just picked up a 08 Silverado 2500HD Crew Cab to replace my 99 Ext. Silverado.

Few questions for you guys.

1. Does ANYONE have a picture of ANY bug shield installed on the Chevy HD's?

2. Bed liners.....Rhino Lining or Line X?

3. Post up some pictures of some of the accessories you've put on yours.

Truck is sweet and I can't wait to get it out on a long trip, I've put all of 25 miles on it since yesterday so it's barely even mine yet.

Thanks for the info ahead of time guys.

Congrats on the new ride, I do not like the Chevy HDs at all but everyone has their opinion. You will get a better answer in the HD forum.

Very very nice. I would go with line-x for the bed liner. I've had both, and prefer the line-x much better. If gas was $1.50 a gallon, that's the truck I would have.

I didn't realize there was a HD section my bad. I am not a huge fan of the new design either but I needed a new truck for the family so I had no choice. I surely wasn't going to buy a Ford.

I'm coming from feeding a 1999 6 liter so I'm use to it.

Can someone move this to the HD section?

Nice! I don't have a bug shield on mine, but if I get one, it will probably be the scotchgard clear film. As for the bed liner, get the Line-X. I have some accessory pics in my garage entry... need to update it when I have the time.

I was checking out your truck the other day....VERY NICE!

Here are some pictures of the truck cleaned up.

Nice HD! welcome to the family

Nice truck Paul! Some nerf bars would really look great on there as well. As far as the bed lining goes, the general consensus around here is that most people prefer Line-X. Personally, I have the Rhino lining and I love it, but so long as you take the truck to a quality shop that knows what they're doing, I think you'll be happy either way. Good luck.

Thank you!

Thanks, that's what I've learned so far as it's all about prep work.

If I do step bars they will be these.

and if you get it Line-X'd, you should get them to do the rear wheelwells too. I wish I thought of doing that before I had mine Line-X'd. I would have rather Line-X'd the wheelwells then add the wheelhouse liners.
