    Rust on Fender

    Ended up going with the 2014 Silverado 1500 LTZ. The wife was more comfortable driving it than the 3500HD. The 1500 will do everything I need but with better mileage than the HD plus way more creature comforts and smoother, quieter ride. I got a reasonable price on it, plus they ended up giving...

    Rust on Fender

    Here is the 3500HD. I did love driving this thing. It definitely doesn't have all the bells and whistles as the Tahoe but I can get a bigger boat than the Tahoe would tow lol. 2010, 90,300 miles, L96 6.0L, spray in bed Kinder, immaculate inside/out/and under, aftermarket wheels with almost new...

    Rust on Fender

    That was the option the body shop guy told me. Then he noticed rust in other places plus a bunch of bad repairs.

    Rust on Fender

    Yeah not at guy was great. I felt like he was 100% honest and up front with me which goes a long ways now-a-days. I liked the motor but I didnt like the center dash and console at all. It also had some issues, drivers door didn't seat right so had wind noise at hwy speed, missing the cover on...

    Rust on Fender

    Well just got back from having the rust repair quoted. The guy looked at it and said he might have to cut out and reeled a new quarter panel in, repaint the trip-coat so worst about $4k. At that price I would do it no problem. He did notice it was bondo-ed before and repainted so he started...

    Interior Woodgrain Coverup

    I got some samples in today and like the black the best. @01Tahoebot, When you wrapped did you leave like an inch of vinyl on the back side so it wouldn't lift up around the edges?

    Rust on Fender

    Guess that will be getting put on the list. Just have to wait for some dry weather and being in the Seattle area I have a few months before that happens lol.

    '09 LTZ 5.3L Gain

    Been reading the build thread for the last 40 minutes. Very impressive to say the least. My wife isn't going to like the idea that I read it and got so many ideas though lol. @kbuskill I noticed there a quit a few of broken picture links in the first few pages of your mod thread. Especially of...

    '09 LTZ 5.3L Gain

    Damn thanks! I just found some of Tony's posts about his kits. They really seem like the way to go. I was reading somewhere on them that with the rear shock extenders you can retain the stock autohide shock height. My current airbags are blown so I need new shocks anyhow and was going to go with...

    Rust on Fender

    I can do all that with body on? I'd love to do a body off frame restore but its not feasible at all. I do have an air compressor and rotary air tools with wire wheels to be able to really get a lot of the accessible rust off.

    On the way from Seattle to Denver I averaged 15.4 mpg with two adults and three kids. I was running 75-85 mph the entire time though. The speed limit though Northern Utah is 80 mph, sooo got to do a little over to make up time from all the damn bathroom breaks lol. Last summer we went from...

    '09 LTZ 5.3L Gain

    I was actually thinking about a drop at some point, I think these big b*tches look awesome dropped. I'm not sure about dropping a 4-wheel drive though. Only time I even use Auto or 4 high is in the winter, once or twice a year, going up to the mountains when the roads are snow packed. If having...

    Rust on Fender

    if I can get it repaired and not worry about it anymore I'll keep this thing. I really like it, it does everything I need and it will be paid off before a newer model would be lol.

    Rust on Fender

    Yeah it came out of Northern Canada. I have it in the Seattle area now though and I don't have to worry about salt, just being wet 8 months out of a year. So I'm hoping I can get the fender repaired and the rest won't get worse.

    '09 LTZ 5.3L Gain

    I love the ride of this thing and its had the blown air bags since I got it. I can't wait to replace them and feel the difference. Since I tow a boat a lot, I'm going with the Arnott's stock remanufactured Z55 shocks with new compressor.

    Wow, $155+ for the MIT. That sounds like a really good alternative to a full intake system though. What did you notice, if anything, just with the intake mods? I need a new rear bumper cover so I'm trying to decide if I want to replace it with stock or go with an Escalade dual exhaust model for...

    Anyone in the Seattle/Tacoma area with a Tech2?

    Painted Escalade roof rack

    It does make an odd howling at freeway speeds now when there is a cross wind. It has been enough of an annoyance to put the cross bars back on though.

    I recently found out via rpo that I have 3.42 gears. What's the thought on switching the stock air intake for an aftermarket? The stock is already a cold air intake. The only benefit I can see for switching is reducing the sharp angels of the stock intake system.

    Is that a Tach2?

    Are you serious? I need to definitely look into this then. I just got 14.3 mpg on the last tank and that is good. With gas priced at $3.75 card price I need every mpg i can get.
