Default My 2500HD

Vehicle: 2005 GMC Sierra 2500HD 6.0L/4l80e 4x4

Goals: A blacked out, mid-low 13's Truck.

The Plan: I'm starting with some exterior mods and bolt-ons(Tune, LT's, UD Pulleys). Once the supporting mods are completed, Heads/Cam/Converter and if needed a 150 shot.


Dyno Vid:

(Was untuned.. 267hp/293tq)



New Hood/Black GMC Emblem


Then I plastidipped the grill/bumper and added a new front fascia w/ fogs cut out.



And to top it off, A Blackbear Autocal Tune.

Roll Pan and H2 Wheels coming soon.



I picked these up for $300. Still need to paint them black and get some tires(Nitto Terra Grapplers LT285/70R17).





After I buy some tires, Long Tubes, E-Fans and UD Pulleys will be next.

Great start! Low 13s shouldn't be a problem with a cam. Possibly will need a 50 shot to get low but high 13s will not be a problem at all.

Thanks. For the money, you really can't go wrong w/ the H2 rims. I got 5 for $300 and they're all in great shape. Plus, I can still sell the center caps and get some money back.

You definitely need to chop that long bed down to a short bed. And by chop, I mean it quite literally.

Haha, unfortunately that's not gonna happen. This truck still needs to work occasionally.
