Didn't realize the addiction was so strong or else I would have started one of these 2 years ago when I got the pickup. I've done quite a bit to her so far and I still have more to do. I'll try to put in as many pics as I can as well. Thanks for looking everybody :thumb

I use to be an OTR flatbedder so I just had boxes of goodies at a time sitting at home waiting for me when I got some days off. First thing I put an S&B CAI on w/ an LBZ MP, a MBRP 3" DP to 4" exhaust w/ 5" tip, an SDP EGR delete kit, a built from scratch PCV Reroute, a PPE Race Plug and to tie it all together I had Duramaxtuner's trans safe tuning on it w/ an Insight CTS switching the tunes.

Next round of goodies I put the newer style tow mirrors on, in tunnel rain deflectors, an Airdog II 165 (later added the CAT filter to it), and had my mechanic throw in a MA pump rub fix for me

On 10/17/14 at 73,000 miles I had GOS Performance in Livingston, MT build my transmission. Suncoast kit with a 1058 Torque Converter. At about 74,500 after a good break in I got Kory's built transmission tunes. The very same day I flashed the tunes I blew my head gaskets :gearjamin
All loaded up and ready to get towed to my buddy's shop for studs and gaskets. I also had him throw in a MA welded water pump while he was in there.

Recently I have added an escalade gauge overlay and added red LEDs to it and replaced all my stepper motors. The white needles that came with the kit were complete garbage so I just used the stock needles. I blacked out the KMH so it doesn't show up when lit up. I need to think of a way to black it out cleanly without using tint like I've seen so I don't see it during the day. Looks way better without it there. Also added some rear wheel well liners, make the truck look a lot cleaner IMO. I need to get my truck undercoated sometime. Hate that rust lookin undercarriage. Also added a MA trans brace and a Fleece tapshifter.

That about catches my progress up. Last night I got my Kryptonite Stage 3 kit and sway bar end links put in. NIGHT AND DAY difference!!!! Took me about 8 hrs altogether by myself and laying on my back to do it and without any stands. Woke up a lil sore this morning needless to say.

JUNK!!!!!!

Went to get an alignment today... turns out my left wheel bearing is shot... would explain the hit or miss slight vibration I'd get at hwy speeds. I just said piss on it and ordered 2 Timken's from dmaxstore. Change both fronts at once and be done with it
