Picked up a clean 2006 duramax cc over the weekend and as requested here is my build thread. This build will be pretty slow for the most part but will mod as i can. My plan is to do a clean leveled look since thats what setup i always return to (like my nnbs lol). The truck is self is pretty clean it has a few things that need to be fixed but for its age and only having 83k on it i couldnt be happier with it.

Plans:

Suspension:
Inner and Outer tie rods
Steering Stabilizer
Idler and Pitman arm
Cognito Upper Control arms
Crank it alittle more to make it level
Bilstein shocks all around

Exterior:
Cleared lights
Cm mirrors
Cm handles
Cm flares
Cm bow tie
Cm top pad
5% tint all around
Amp steps

Performance:
Straight pipe
Tune
Havent really looked into performance mods so i will update this as i find things to do.

Interior:
5k led swap
Weather techs
Full console

What ive done:
Demold
Destepped
Debadged
De pin striped
Wet sanded and buffed

When me and country_09 went to the dealer to check it out


Taking everything off and wet sanding areas and buffing

After i washed it off

How it sits now

nice. im sure if you throw some nice pieces at the suspension to level it out, you will like it since you are right, you always end up going to a leveled rig. kinda laughed when i saw you bought a duramax at a ford dealer lol.

Best gm truck ever made too!

Are you planning on doing upgraded tie rods? Would suggest Heavy duty ones from Rare Parts ETC instead of stock replacements. Help alot with the slop. So does the Cognito braces

No they were asking 22k for the dmax. After trading in my mustang and putting the equity from the mustang down on the truck I walked out at 17k.


My mustang was not paid off. But I got more on trade in then what I owed. Hope that helps the confusion

Hell, that is easily a high 20s truck here all day with the miles, even being a 2wd. $22k was a steal even before the trade.
