Crazycrew's 2017 Sierra Mod Thread

[crazycrew]

Well, as some of you have seen, I traded in the 2013 Sierra Denali and got myself a 2017 Sierra SLT w/ Premium package. 5.3, 8sp.

This will be a slow mod thread. I'll document as I upgrade anything on the truck.

Plans are to order reverse, cargo and tag light led bulbs soon. Also husky xact fit liners.

6.2 to 5.3, let's hear about this

 

[crazycrew]

I drove it home from the dealership and haven't driven it again. Working this weekend and my buddy drives when we work days.

But the 5.3 8sp dfi combo isn't much different from my 6.2 6sp mpi. Gotta remember, it's a different motor too!

Well, after being in bed since noon Tuesday (Mardi Gras) with the flu, I decided I needed some fresh air. Put my boy to work too!

How did that dealership sticker make it past day 1?! You're slacking.

I've been busy as hell! You're right, normally it would be off same day. I haven't gotten the windows tinted either.

But, it's going back tomorrow for the infamous 8sp problems. Sounds like they're gonna take care of it for, so I'm not sweating it. I knew I'd probably have these troubles. Ah well!

I hate when dealerships just randomly put that sticker in odd places such as that! I take them off 10/10 times anyway With that said, when you see an original old car or truck with that on there it's pretty neat and actually adds an extra layer of neato to it LOL

It went from 1 post to 2 pages in an hour.....

I learned something new. I thought the GMC badge had some type of bolt running through the tailgate to help keep it on. Looking good for sure.

I think only Ford does that! And maybe the new ram. The one that has the HUGE RAM in chrome

Years ago, my ex-wife bought a new '09 Accord coupe (V6/6M). As soon as it was home, I de-badged it, along with the plastic 3-D dealership badge. We brought it back the next weekend for them to remove the factory pinstriping per our purchase agreement, and the salesman commented on how clean it looked without the badges, including the dealership badge. I told him it had better stay that way (after all, we were there to have them remove pinstriping). The car came back to us with another plastic "TEAM" badge stuck on the trunk lid (Team Honda dealership). It was still fresh and a hot summer day so it peeled right off with all the adhesive. That salesman's personal car had a new "TEAM" badge on the bumper, sloppily applied crooked and off-center, when we left.

Alongside your second comment, I like reading the dealership names and locations stamped into the steel bumpers of the really old trucks. Pretty neat, indeed.

Just picked it up from dealership. They changed and flushed the trans fluid. So far so good! [emoji1303]

These new bodies are so damn crazy.

2" shackles and removed the 1" block. Still 3/4" higher in the rear [emoji2959][emoji2959]

I lowered a 2018 a few weeks ago. He wanted to see it with shackles first then decide if he wanted me to pull the blocks. If you didn't know it had the shackles, you'd never know it was lowered. He was satisfied and said to leave it as-is. Oh well, it's his truck.

How do you remove and reinstall the top bolts- remove the bed bolts and lift it off the frame a little or...?
