My 2500HD Project
#22
It's been a while since I updated this. Since my last post, I bought a GTO, so the truck kind of took a back seat for a little while.
I ended up going back to a step bumper, roll pans and work trucks don't get a long too well, lol.
I also added the H2 wheels and 33" Duratracs, Long Tubes, 3" y-pipe w/ a Magnaflow 20" round muffler dumped just past the cab and NNBS 2500HD badges.
I have a NNBS intake and ported TB on the way, along with an X-link and e-fans. Once that arrives, I'll have it re-tuned.

Did the NNBS Intake/Ported TB/X-Link the other day. Definitely noticed a difference. Seems to have a little more low end and pulls a lot better on the highway.
Data Logged today and sent it off to Blackbear to be re-tuned for the LT's, Intake and TB. Hopefully it won't be too long before I get an updated tune.
Also decided to rotate the tires today. In the process, I found my RF wheel bearing/hub is toast as well as the axle boot is torn. Since the truck has 120k miles on it now, I decided to do a front end overhaul. Ordered new Hubs, Axles, Ball Joints, Inner/Outer Tie Rods, Sway Bar End Links, Idler/Pitman Arms and Slotted/Cross Drilled Rotors/Pads. Gonna order some Bilsteen 5100's later this week. Should be like a brand new truck after the weekend....

Been a long time since I updated this thread. The truck is still going strong, just hit 140K miles..
Only mods I've done lately have been maintenance and some interior/exterior stuff. Tow mirrors, side steps, back rack, new speakers and a pioneer duble din head unit. Picking up a center console tomorrow that I found for cheap, should come in handy for the plow season
