On my LLY I spray bombed the tail section with high temp black BBQ paint, looked good, until you could see where I didnt paint the rest of the system black. I say paint it all black it'd look great, that paint is rated for 1200* degrees, it should hold up. Mine was still looking good 6 months...

2 pics from hwy 14 north of Ft Collins after I picked it up and today without the topper.

Yeah, Im jealous, I get the nerve racking pleasure of drilling hole in my roof though. lol

I flew into Denver, from there I jumped on a shuttle bus to Ft Collins. I think at that point it was closer to take I-25 to Cheyenne. Driving through Nebraska and Iowa is enough to make anyone want to kill themselves. The only gripe I've got about this truck other than the tires, is the radio...

I got 13 mpg, in Colorad, Wyoming, and Nebraska. 14.2 mpg through Iowa, and Illiniois, going off how far this recent tank got me so far on the miles, I think I'll be in the 14.5 - 15 mpg neighborhood, the DIC and been dead on with hand calculations so far. Im happy with it. Its got some junky...

Cool, Im getting a 08 CC/SB GMC SLT as well, I fly out to Denver tommorow to go it, hopefully, I know I'll like it, I just hope the mileage isnt to bad with it.

If you dont have a decent Snap on guy or other tools like Milwaukee, Dewalt, lots of other companies wont honor the warranty unless it was purchased new at a brick and mortar store. Theres exceptions to every rule though.

Cost to keep the diesel motors emmisons compliant is what killed the 4.5 and similarly Dodge and Fords 1/2 ton diesels.

Only downside is that alot of times thing you buy of ebay dont come with a warranty even if brand new. But I do agree its a nice place to pick up tools at a deep discount.

I thought a Diesel Sub would be a good idea, then I thought deeper, anyone in the market for a Diesel burban is already likely to purchase a crew cab Duramax, in leu of a Suburban Duramax, if they really need the Suburban they'll buy one, if not there buy a crew cab. A Diesel Suburban would...

If your only torqueing them to 80ft/lbs, I think thats your problem. The spec I beleive is in the high 140's, 147 or 146ft/lbs, and clean up the thread good with a brush before you torque the lugs down. Try that and hopefully that will work for you.

You got any other questions just ask or shoot me a PM and I can give you a call. Somtimes its alot easier to explain on the phone, I know when I was getting all the pieces together to start the conversion, I had headaches just thinking about it, but its really easy once you get the ball rolling.

lol. I sold my duramax, now I dont have a way to tow it to my new house to work on.):h I shoulda towed it down here then sold my duramax, I put the cart in front of the horse again.:mad2:

I had that problem when trying to change the wheels on my now old 05, after dinking around with a sledge and different ideas for an hour, here's what works best. Take 4 or 6 of the lug nuts, either the opposing side or sides on. Back them off 1/4 of the way. Drop it on the ground and rock...

Looks great, if only I worked as fast as you, I'll be going into year 2 of my swap in a few months here, lol.

Milwaukee drills but Husky cutters and presses and now we got new chambre cutters, those cut through anything you can fit in the jaws.

Only when at work, its a fireable offenese not too, so I do most of the time at work. I dont in my personal vehicles however.

Took me 15 hours to do, taking my time and drinking, 2 nights after work and a good part of Saturday the first time I did it. The only thing I screwed up was the lower valve cover gasket, I should of tacked it to the valve cover with RTV them put it in place, but I didnt so of course it didnt...

Blue on Black, looks good, thats why its a song too.

Mines never run hot, infact I have never even approached 200*, even with a gooseneck and truck loaded up, racing home. Only con I can think of is I'd like the 6 speed Alli, other wise I wouldnt say not pick a LBZ over a LLY or vice versa.
