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....

Thanks! It earned a few battle scars last plow season, so it kind of looks like **** right now though. I'll fix it all in the spring and repaint.

You're more likely to see me in my GTO though. I'm usually driving when I'm not at work...

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
