Personally I think the rain guards look great on these trucks

“I have officially had this truck for 2 days and it doesn’t even feel real” - the best feeling in the world. Hope you are still enjoying the Chevy!

Not a chevy guy, but this is a real nice truck and if it were me id keep it stock as a rock. This is when Chevys were good in my opinion, they dont make anything i like today unfortunately so to see nice older pickups like this puts a smile on my face

Being from Michigan, I'm blown away every single time you find a diamond gmt800. I've had my 2005 Silverado (226k miles) for nearly 20 years now. The rocker panels, fenders, and cab corners have that bluetooth connectivity 😅

Keep the rain guards, they look good and they’re practical. And if you ever have your window pop off track, you can force it up to almost closed and not have to worry about it leaking. Speaking from experience here, definitely was a life saver

Definitely keep the rain guards, they look great on any truck

I bought my LBZ new in late 2006 and have been able to change fuel filter from the top every time. A little tip for you, after replacing fuel filter start your truck, when it stalls just crack the purge screw then pump until fuel comes out, close screw and pump the primer until it won't depress any more. Start the truck and you are good to go. I actually put a valve on mine to make it less messy. Then I added a lift pump and can forgo the bleeding process altogether. If your truck is 4wd you'll want to add the BRNY plate to your transfer case pump so you don't end up with the pump rub pin hole. I also added the filtration systems bypass oil filter as well to filter the oil better. There's a lot you can do to these but I would start with the mods that extend the life of the truck. Also, they came with a shallow transmission pan, I would replace it with the standard, or what most call the deep pan from allison.

My 02 2500 HD 6.0 Has 425, 000 miles. I do my own work and put brakes on all 4 . Calipers pads rotors hydro boost power steering pump rebuild entire front end new tires and i added coil overload springs on the rear. Without getting into the engine it gets regular oil changes and runs like new
I put a visor and roof racks modified the tailgate to receive a 1/5 wheel or goose neck. For cun i put an altimeter on the dash and a rain guage on the front bumper . My brush guard has a hndyman jack a comealong log chain double bit ax and a buck saw. magnet to hold a couple Tools its paited camouflage with bedliner paint.

Btw, you can cut a little square space out in your fender for servicing the fuel filter, and cut two little small holes for some hard to see zip ties, once you’re done with it then put two new zip ties back in. Also you don’t have to take the plastic screw all the way out. Just open it one turn and pump until you see fuel

[hilton]

wow that truck was finished 5 days after i was born. for a 16 almost 17 year old truck its in really really good shape! good on the previous owner for taking such care of it.

[altrey]

Just bought a 2012 Silverado 2500hd gas and am also still in the, ”I can’t believe it’s my truck!” stage! Just love everything about the truck!

[chrisao]

Banks is an awesome intake. I’d suggest ordering the cover for the filter. I ordered the dry filter with the filter cover and the scoop and the scoop makes a major difference in intake temps. My intake temps are roughly 2 degrees above ambient when rolling. It woke the truck up, I also have the banks six gun tuner.

Aren't there drain tubes for the sunroof that go down the A and B pillars? It's pretty common for those to get clogged and cause water to puddle up inside the roof and leak onto the headliner. Might want to look that up and try cleaning them out.

[pwilly]

Must do in every diesel is never let the fuel level get that low! Good luck with that duraslack!!

[christianwelch]

I soak my air filters in hot water and dish soap. Then rinse it . Seems to clean it the best . To speed up the drying process I put a hair dryer in the filter and leave it for 10-15 minutes.

I also work for Cummins and it’s best you install the fuel filter dry so you aren’t filling your new filter with contaminated diesel.

I have an 05 duramax (same specs without a sun roof) and personally I love my rain guards… I don’t care for the look too much, but I use the function all the time, it keeps bugs from being sucked in the window while I’m driving and it’s good at keeping rain out even with the window all the way down.

I am super happy for this series! I just found you, I got about 2 or so weeks until I get my Colorado, im 16 and im paying it off for my grandma, I was talking to my grandpa about it before he passed, its a super nice truck and he was planning on selling it for cheap anyways. Its an 06, but I have been lost on what i should be doing, its got 100k miles so ill have it for a while and I plan on putting my heart into it.

[lilmisery]

just got a 1994 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9L blacked out rhino lined with some 22' black rims, red calipers, also just ordered a cherry bomb extreme and some magna flow high flow cats can't wait to install it so hyped to hear it roar

I have a 2009 GMC that I bought in 2014. I changed out a bulb on the tail light and that whole pocket was full of dirt. Your tail light pocket area was covered but on the newer trucks it is open to what ever the tires throw up there. I bought a set of aftermarket rear wheel well liners and put mudflap material in the opening of the pocket. I live in Upstate NY and that would be a perfect spot for the salt to eat up that area. The truck only had 17, 000 miles on it when I bought it.
