2004 Sierra 1500 - An *accidental* restoration.
#21
I'm really not a big fan of any of the lights on my truck, they don't look awful, but I bought them years ago and went kinda cheap. Maybe I'll switch them up sometime. The aftermarket is just really lacking for these trucks IMO. I really like smoked stock lights alot, but it's hard to get them dark enough to look good while not being so dark it makes them dim. The candied lights are a good idea too! I almost did chrome handles but I did the all painted ones instead. I think the truck would look good either way!

Go full clear headlights up front. Just clear chrome housings no halos or any of that gay **** haha those are the best in my opiniion
Here are the candied tails. Have them on my truck.
Agreed the truck is sick no matter which handles you choose!

How do you like that cam?
I have similar combo and the cam is not far off from that. I think the compression is closer to 11.0 :1 on my new motor.
224/228 .600/.600 112 LSA

I really like it, especially for an off the shelf cam. I feel like this 6.0 still has plenty of low end (compared to the 5.3) and pulls pretty hard through the whole rpm range. I don't have a lot to compare it to though, as I haven't driven many cammed trucks. The 2800 Stall Converter really helps it though.

We had a similar motor in a buddies truck but it had a cam from some one else that was similar to the sloppy stage2 and I was not impressed with the overall set up. It had a 3200 stall and it felt a little on the tight side with his 6.0L but with the 5.3L It seems a little on the loose side to me.

I have a 3200 stall on the way.

Yeah for towing that makes since. The gears need to go though for those size tires...

you probably will want to go 5.13 with a 36. I think 4.88 would be like like a 3.73 or possibly a 4.10 on 35s I have to go look at the gear charts again to see.
