I think if you can hold on wait until the 6 speed autos are out..they will make a big difference in accel and possibly milege (right now top gear (6th) is the same as 4L60E top gear (4th) so highway numbers would be the same but GM might play with that too for the pickups...who knows...)...

 

Looks good. Does it have an aluminum block 5.3 or iron? I'm so "hot and cold" on these new body trucks, but this one looks good.

 

Its iron. I think the aluminum is only on the 4x4 crew cab models or something silly like that. Color seems to have a huge affect on these body styles....

 

I thought so. And you are SOOOO right about that color statement.

 

damn bro thats a badass truck man no joke all you need now is a badass billet grille and a drop and that truck is a pimp i want to buy a gmc single cab now , i think im hooked lol

 

Grah man that thing is sexy...makes me want to trade mine in.

 

I think for now just going to drop the back end 2 or 3 " and level it out a bit....I like the stock look (keeps cops and retards away) but eventually will go big power...

 

Nice! I just bought a crew cab NNBS in desert brown metallic (not that fancy blue)

Where did you get the painted door handles, mirror caps and turn signal mirrors? I'm looking for some now.

 

Congrats on the truck! You'll love it.

I got all my parts off ebay except for the mirror caps ordered new from GM. Order your color, they aren't even that pricey, like 50.00. Muth sells a kit to add the signal mirrors to our trucks, but I found it cheaper to just buy complete upper level mirrors off ebay and use the glass from them, plus still have complete pwr folding/puddle light/heated/memory/signal mirrors here (might try to adapt them one day but they require databus harness/switches/panels/programming).

The catch is, not sure how your truck is wired. If it didn't come with the upper level mirrors, it should have the signal wires already there to a connector, just not connected to anything (reg cabs are that way). I used harness and pins from mirrors to make my connections. I have another thread on here somewhere with wire colors etc (its blue with white stripe for each side positive plus black for ground)

handles watch e-bay. Right now can't buy colored handles from GM, only primer...but guys are putting chrome ones on and making some money back by selling painted ones...haven't seen brown yet, see a lot of silver, black, blue etc.

Good luck!

 

LOVE THE TRUCK i like the new body style except the front bumper to much chrome for my taste. only think i want to know i in one of ur pic the gauge shows 200 can it really go 200
