Its a northeast thing...you wouldn’t understand

Haven't installed shit, but @Galante hooked me up with new front and second row leathers, a rear cargo net, tan cargo cover, and husky mat/oem rear carpet liner for a killer price!

Preparing middle row donor seat for install this weekend. Then front passenger seat. Y'all won't get pics for awhile because the truck still needs to have the entire interior steam cleaned.

I was on the brink of selling it 2 weeks ago, but it's an 01 and I just hit 136k...no payment but I also have a Lexus I hardly drive because I'm stuck on this truck. My gal doesn't understand it, because I work in a rather professional type of field and I frequent with federal and state officials frequently, but my truck on 24s definitely stands out lol

In all honesty I wanted an NBS Denali since they first came out, so now that I have this one I can live with its tiny quirks.

@Galante thank you again sir

Installed some $60 cold air intake kit off of Amazon. Total garbage. cheap components and didn't fit correctly. Basically the Chinese knock-off version of the crappy Spectre kit.

Will save my lunch money for a quality kit.

Now about to change the spark plugs.

05 silverado 3500 work truck. one of the brakes start to hit the squealers yesterday, so i ordered up new pads last night from advanced auto, picked em up today and ended up doing the back brakes road side in front of a customers house.

ill have pics tomorrow but when i say maybe 2 mm of pad left on all 4 pads, all squealers hitting rotor.....rotors are still nice and smooth, saved by the skin of the pads lol

i think there might be air trapped in the front 1/2 of the system. the front pads still had 1/2 life left. once the new rears were installed you can feel its mostly back brakes. and it has brakes again. so some more poking around needs to be done. likely end up flushing it all, 75,000 miles its never been done. all local hauling and towing a trailer that weighs at least 4,000 lbs all day long.

the fun part of the these rear brakes is you cant just take the calipers off, the slider pin hits the leaf springs and thats it, dead end, one slider, the top one, you cant even get a ratchet on it when its bolted up still. the top bracket bolt you can get a few turns on the bolt but then it locks the racket between the bolt and springs, so a few turns and then its all by hand or open end wrench.

oh the real fun happens if you want to remove the rotors, full floating rear end, you need to pull the axles out and then unlock and un nut its bearings and then handle this what? 50 to 70 lb hub and rotor set.... wait theres more, now you need to press the lug studs out the hub to free the rotor, then press em back in. what joy!

added pic of the last new rotor and pads. so all non HD truck guys get to see the gm crazyness.

fronts. same caliper and pads as the rears. how this thing dont eat front hubs ill never know, dully life.

New Bilstein shocks and Moog springs in the rear. 4 New Cooper Discoverer AT/3 tires. Oil change.

Are we talking about the same ones? Cause the ones I’ve seen on Amazon were identical to the AC Delco ones, there’s a few pics on Amazon forget it it was the front or rear ones but it was pretty much an AC Delco shock in a Monroe box

Hmm ok. Im biased against Monroe's i guess. I suppose they are just tenneco with a monroe label.

It's how the locals say it. So when you go there say it exactly like that and they'll be shocked that you know it.

Nice. Some report 1.75 as the magic no trim number. Do your rims have divots in the back? I think that may make the difference.

Confirmed,... slight protrusion with 1.5",.. so your info on the 1.75" was correct....in my case in doesnt come into play.

Gave it a bath, the Adam’s products are still kicking ass they are super easy to use and they dissolve the nasty tree sap and bug guts that are always plastered down the side and across the front.
