Racecar loud is fun until you have to drive it more than 30 miles. Borrowed FILs truck one day(01 hd with 6.0, fctory duals to bullets, turn downs before axle) and was like how TF do you drive 45 miles to work

I had an 83 Silverado with a mildly cammed 350. Had a small exhaust leak around the driver side collector so I took it to the exhaust shop about 30 mins away. Halfway there, both collectors broke. It was fucking awesome for about 3 minutes then annoying as shit.

Mine really isnt bad until you get on the highway. Thats when the drone is bad. In town it isnt terrible.

So both of my mirrors have a small crack in the plastic on the side that faces the window and the passenger side doesnt power fold or adjust. Been looking for a good deal on a set and finally came across a set on fb. Dude was asking $100 and i got him to do $75. They are dl3s off a purple 09 ltz. Gonna swap my caps over and throw them on tomorrow before work hopefully.

Please take some detailed pics about how to swap the dash or fix the cracks. My dad's '08 ltz has 2 cracks in his dash now.

Will do. I watched a good video on youtube showing how to remove one and repair the cracks and it seems pretty simple. Just lots of bolts in various places. Ill find the video and post the link.

If all goes as planned ill be trading my rear chrome bumper for a colormatched bumper tomorrow, then meeting up with Dennis in shreveport to pick up the dash.

If anybody in the Louisiana/Texas area is close enough and would like to join us you're more than welcome. Probably gonna meet up around lunch.

What's the dash PN? The 11+ one is allegedly a little more robust yes?
