It’s been 6 years since I last posted. I am proud to say the truck is still with me. I had to replace some parts over the years. The 38 inch tires beat the steering box up the point where I had to have it replaced. I also had to replace the upper camber bolts. The 38s also blew out the shocks which in turn gave the tires some really bad cupping. I replaced them with 35 inch falken wild peaks.

Also replaced the shocks with bilstein 5100. The truck has a softer ride now.

I got the ice blue LEDs and weather tech mats. I have been following a lot of the guys on YouTube. Shout out to badz71 and 1road. They inspired me to killmat the doors and install LEDs in the gauges and interior lights. Big upgrade for a small price. Thanks to them for their videos.

I ordered some ANZO taillights. Nothing crazy. My original ones were sun rotted.

Also ordered these LED reverse lights from amazon. They are brighter but not by much. Worth it? 10 on Amazon. Yes.

I also had to replace the alternator and went with an original AC Delco.
With these parts the truck is much quieter on highway. I have noticed with the smaller 35 inch tires my rpms are around 2,200 on highway cruising speeds with my 456 gears. I also removed the vortec intake rear box. I didn’t notice any sound or performance changes with it out so I just left it out.
future I plan get a go rhino 3090b push bar but I have 3 inch body lift. I’m going to modify it to fit iff I have to. Please let me know if anyone here has done it. I would love to see a how they did it.
Thank you to everyone here and thank you GMT400 forum. This forum has been keeping my truck alive and hauling my family everywhere.
