About a mile south of Albany right around 5 pm. I was leaving work
Yup that would have been me! Small world.
How did the truck run fully loaded with temperatures being over 100 Do you have upgraded radiator, fans, etc.
Hardly notices, TBH. The 454 radiator is huge, and I'm running a 160 t-stat. On the longest hills in summer while pulling boost, it rarely creeps up near 200.

Been a bit since I've given any sort of update, so here you go!
I mentioned the CR Lawrence slider, well I got that installed.

They had the install with the cable running over the pillar trim and screwed to it... I said screw that. I dis-assembled the cable and ran it through the pillar and only making a small notch in the plastic. Much cleaner IMO.

To mount the motor, you have to ditch the OEM jack tray. Again, no thanks. I modified the position a bit and cut so the motor was mounted behind the tray. I actually have a few things that sit nicely in it, didn't want to loose that.

It had an aftermarket switch as well. You know me, I didn't use it. Instead I grabbed the closest thing that matched - I used a GM switch that came in the GMT800 GM Accessory Power Rear Window upgrade kit. It's the same text and gray color as the GMT400 and is as close as I'm going to ever come to matching the stock switches...

Related to the truck, I extended the tongue on my trailer so I could get rid of the hitch extension, as well as jackknife the trailer to be able to use the stairs without disconnecting.

I also picked up this G2 Brute diff cover, extra capacity and lowered my diff temps about 45 degrees.

During the install, it was close to the spare tire, so to test I flexed out the truck with the camper on it. The frames on these trucks are impressive IMO, very little body deflection even with the camper in the bed.

I also recently was in the dunes, my favorite place on earth.

After much deliberation though, I decided that it was time to move on to a new chapter. Introducing the new tow pig: 2016 Sierra Denali 3500HD.
