Low miles.....and a GREAT pic!

 

[Fosscore]

Gotta get blue leds in the instrument cluster now. They stick out like a sore thumb with the steering wheel done.

Yes I know they do. lol At least the steering wheel looks cool and the cluster is not giving me any grief...at the moment. Maybe some time I'll get that cluster matched up with blue LEDs.

Thx man. Yes keeping the miles as low as I can. lol

 

[Onebadsss]

Lol thanks for getting back 2 me. Now u have me wondering about this nnbs upgrade! Guess I'll haft to do some research on that now [emoji36] . Not sure the cost difference to do that but it sounds promising......... btw I didn't get to go crazy with the 303 yet as I spent the truck time messing with the sub, but I did try it in a few small places and I think I'm going to love this stuff! I did the top of my fuse box just so I could get an idea of what it would do. WOW no residue and it looks great. Can't wait to do everything I can get it on now!

@Fosscore @jerryjoe28 here is my input on the brake upgrade experience: I did the NNBS front brakes upgrade on my 2005 Silverado SS AWD using these parts:

And the matching components in the rear specific to my application as well as a Russell Performance braided stainless softlines kit and I noticed much improved pedal feel and braking performance. After putting 15k miles on the setup (varying intensity of braking situations throughout) I noticed no decline in performance and the pads put off very little dust and there was no squealing at all. Even after exposure to a harsh New England winter the rotor hub coatings and caliper powder coating held up remarkably well!

Definitely worth the money and at less than 1/3 the cost of a "big brake" upgrade, a win win IMHO

Parked next to my buddy's lifted GMC. He's up 6 inches and I'm down 3/6.
Pretty cool contrast.

Thx man this info. I just recently replaced my pads and rotors with a Power Stop setup, but was not aware of the NNBS upgrade at the time of the brake job. I would have been all over the NNBS change out, however chucking away the money spent on the current set up would be just a waste. It will have to wait for now. Either way I have new pads and rotors, which are a win no matter how you slice it.

True dat homie! And I completely agree! Had I not been fortunate enough to come across the info about the NNBS brake upgrade before I ordered brake components for my SS I would be in the same boat, lol

Whats the deal with the nnbs brake upgrade and the hydroboost?

What do you mean? The NNBS upgrade is simply bolting on the bigger calipers, pads, and rotors.

 

[Onebadsss]

Yeah hydroboost is a separate issue altogether. All the GM NBS full size trucks (1500 series) and most of the SUVs come with vacuum assisted brakes while the 2500 series and the high end SUVs have hydroboost brakes. I had vacuum assisted on my SS and still noticed an improvement. My Escalade has factory installed hydroboost brakes so I'll be interested to see how much better the braking is when I do the NNBS upgrade this summer!

 

[Fosscore]

Washed both trucks early this morning and took a few pictures in front of my house.

 

[Onebadsss]

Looking damn good!

How's the painted front bumper holding up? Getting any chips?

 

[eand28]

Looks good. Makes me want to spend unnecessary money on my burb

I like really want to ptm my front bumper and lower valence now. I have a weird rust spot in the current one so I have to replace it, might as well paint it and the lower valence while I have it apart

Do it! PTM always looks killer compared to factory chrome

I just don't know how it'll look being that my burb is MCCM (Medium Charcoal Grey Metallic)
