So im back from vacation, and while I was gone I said I was getting some work done to it, and holy crap... It's like I have a completely different truck. Needless to say im happy as a clam.

I did a bunch of stuff to it, however the one thing I was really looking forward to but couldn't happen was a full fluid swap. I was going to flush and replace all of my fluids with Royal Purple, however it was a little more than what we added it up to be. The fluid for the trans alone was around $100. So im saving that for my next oil change.

Now the stuff I did get was: Borla ProXS Muffler. PowerSlot Rotors, Hawk LTS Pads, & Russell SS Brake Lines. MSD Coil, Cap, Rotor & 8.5mm SC Plug Wires. NGK Laser Iridium Plugs. Castrol Syntec & Fram ToughGuard Filter. Magnetic Drain Plug. Wix Fuel Filter. New Idler Arm & Bracket. New PCV. New Tensioner Pulley. Also removed the running boards (which looks great and should have been removed right when I get my tahoe), and on Thursday im removing the roof rack, cleaning the EGR & IAC, and then taking it to my local Chevy dealer to get the injectors, fuel system and intake cleaned!

I'm probably gonna shoot a video to show how my Borla sounds in the next couple days. I have it dumped to the ground right after the muffler just before the rear muffler. It sounds sooooo sweet. My old Moroso glasspacks had a real snappy sound when I got on it which sounded awesome, but this new Borla has a deep throaty sound which I prefer in trucks.suv's. If you guys are interested in a review on the muffler or the brake setup let me know il definitely write one up. Thanks for reading my essay lol, as you can tell im very happy. :D

How are those LTS pads with the Powerslot Rotors? Still debating on the LTS vs Ceramic Hawks.

I love the combo. It's seem to be a pretty popular choice too so that's half the reason why I went with the LTS and PowerSlots.
