Default 5Speedsilverado's 6 Speed sierra?

well as some of you may know, i got rid of my 06 silverado after being irritated with many things on it, so here is the new thread dedicated to the new truck.

here is the readers section of truckin magazine lol



new truck, pretty much every option i could get on a single cab. and yes i wanted plain white





first and only mod was to pull the lift blocks out of the back at 90 miles on the clock. they measured around 1.5"





First road trip with a Gsxr 600 and a keg in the bed for a little over 300 mile road trip averaged 23.4mpg at 79 cause 80 doesn't go into 4cyl mode lol


that is all for now

thanks man, it amazing the difference between my 06 and this one.

did a lil mod to it today. removed (in my opinion) the stupidly placed mud flap for the rear tires.




and new mpg results

simple free things are first. made the mistake of debadging the tail gate. was too hot without a garage and didn't feel like doing the doors

Sounds decent through the youtube. Even sounds like a real manual when you punch at the :50 mark, the way it shifts and all.
