rear bumper in paint



under side of the hood in paint



i guess you can say im weird, but this is the part i enjoy, getting the wiring figured out with the factory speaker wires removed from the harness, installing a little bit thicker speaker wire. running the harness for the power windows and door locks up inside the dash up with the factory harness to keep it clean



dash plastics starting to go in



i found where these trucks had generic spots for foot well lighting, so i wired in some sockets with leds, and tied them into the dome light wires



front suspension blown apart





frame coated and beginning the installation of the lift kit. brakes are replacement calipers for an 09 avalanche because i had an extra powerstop kit laying around



front suspension completed. also has braided stainless brake lines all around



rear brakes are suburban dual piston calipers



some how got lucky and ended up with a trutrac when i got the gears installed



lift kit completed

a/c system charged up, and got the wheels and tires.

size comparison





off to get tuned





power at the rear wheels. its very conservative tune running on 87 octane injectors are maxed out, still has a mechanical fan and it has the 3 bolt truck intake. still has alot in it, but i think those are some good number put down at the rear tires considering how big the tires are

Great work so far. I'm curious how those injectors were maxed out with such a conservative tune.

Thank you, nicd (the tuner) said they are only 25# injectors factory in these trucks and the added displacement with the cam, better heads, and long tubes they maxed out very quickly
