Honestly just swap a 9.5" from a regular 5.3 truck in it... The parts from the old 9.5" 14 Bolt work in those and it's not like this stupid 9.76" rear is any stronger in a way worth mentioning... Thank you GM for creating some retard low use rear end no one will ever make parts for.

Not overly impressed.... It's a pile of **** in the grand scheme of things. Poor build quality and no customer support because they can't fix it... Build me a new 05 1500hd... I will take 10 of them... If I find the low mile gmt800 I want this heap will be down the road and some dumb SOB can fight with GM about it.

Not really.. Well yes they are now you are correct. For what they charge they are garbage and getting worse every subsequent model year with nothing but a bigger price tag. Won't be that long and a base LTZ half ton will be 75 grand... For what? Any one of you think otherwise.. Come buy mine and see how much you love it. I am tired of new vehicles... Had 4 in the last 3 years of 3 different brands and they all end up sitting at the dealership constantly for problems they have no repairs for but are all common problems to the model...and I end up driving the 05 because it never dies and I never do a damn thing to it. So I may as well cut the cancer out so to speak and buy more old trucks.
Then again a disc just popped in my back yesterday and I might be crippled again... So maybe it makes me more bitter.. Doubt it though.
I like the truck when I drive it and it's not doing something stupid... But that's getting few and far between. The fuel economy it gets is not a lot different than the 05 either which people keep telling me is wrong too... What isn't wrong lol.

My tune isn't my problem for this stuff. I am working with another tuner to try and do something with this trans but it's very ignorant to follow commands to say the least but even stock its got plenty of issues. To see him I have to drive about 400 miles so I don't really look forward to that in any way shape or form. I have to get the drivers box side repainted a second time as they screwed it up... And then start checking what the dealer won't with suspension stuff. I really wish I hated this truck.. I just mostly don't.. But when I talk about it's bullshit it pisses me off. I have owned all of the major brands and not one can do what I want... Which is simple. I want a truck that I can put 50 or 60000 miles on with just maintenance.. Not these heaps that sit at the dealership broken all the time. Oh well.
Besides... In all reality my truck rapes all the other local 6.2 buckets that don't have forced induction so it's not like it's slow...

I love my NBS,NNBS, and my 2015 Denali HD... I have had zero issues so far with all of them and looking forward to a new 2017 single cab 8 speed. A good tune will really wake that little truck up. I have driven the new 6.2/8spd crew cab trucks with a tune and there badass, can only imagine in a single cab or ext cab. Everyone has their own views and experience... mine have been great so I'm going to get one regardless.
