I was getting tired of seeing the old yellowed fender protector strips on the fenders and after burning through the eraser wheels, I decided to just cover it up. I purchased some automotive vinyl and it turned out ok for the time being and a little extra protection.

Also had some extra vinyl and thought I would see how the front GMC would look black, still thinking on this one...

Vinyl fix looks real good. As does the emblem. Not too overplayed looking at all.

Thank you very much, I was hoping it would not be over done Much appreciated!

Finally had a chance to hook up to the enclosed car trailer for a test run. Eventhough it was empty, still pretty impressed with how it handled it compared to the daily driver I was using to pull it. Next up will be loading the trailer and taking it up the road

When my dually was stock, it would downshift at the sight of a trailer. I cleaned that all up with a tune so it holds a gear longer. If yours seems to love hanging out in 2nd and 3rd gear that'll be the fix. Plus there's good torque waiting to be unlocked.

Thanks, I appreciate the heads up. I'll start looking into a tune

Did you have to go with the 411 ecu to get a decent tune? I don't pull with any regularity but wouldn't mind a little more power/efficiency.

The 98+ trucks are supported by EFILive. Were my truck NA and 98+, I may not have bothered with the 411 on a 454 to keep startup, transient, and idle stuff correct.

Loaded up the trailer and pulled it with the dually for the first time. Not too many complaints at all, it is mostly flat here, but will still be looking to do the tune to hold the gears a little longer.
