Someone who has a warranty


Did you not like the Vmax?

I like your taste in vehicles, both are pretty slick. What is the height to the top of your onstar antenna?

thanks guys. i loved my vmax, but i was starting to have problems with it so it was time for it to go. i'm not sure what the height is to the top of the onstar, but the fenders are 47.5 front and 47.25 in the rear.

as for the exhaust: a DPF back on a LML is useless, it does nothing for performance or sound. the only way to gain anything is to do a DPF/DEF delete which will both void the 6 year 100k bumper/bumper warranty AND make the truck nj emissions illegal, so as much as i'd like to do it, it's not going to happen.

If you have some time could you get the measurement to the top of your onstar antenna and total length of the truck, bumper to bumper? Id greatly appreciate it, Im considering getting me another Dmax but Im only going to do it if it will fit in my garage. Itll be black and thats a lot of black sheetmetal to constantly clean, it got old
