      2009 the V badge is on the left of the truck. 2010 + they are on the right. 2011+ came standard with back up camera. 2012+ has a slightly better trans tune from the factory. Make sure you get Recaros as well.

      Ya it's the 5 year but they go by the build date so my 2010 is already out of warranty.

      There are a lot of taller guys driving them and love them. Some things to look out for would be a rattle coming from the supercharger, it's actually the isolator that is bad. Front wheels clicking when turning at slow speeds. Rear end whining. Not very common but it is still out there. Recaros could move slightly when turning, stopping or accelerating.Luckily most of the issues have TSBs out there and the dealer will repair them. Other than that the car is solid and very...very mod friend...

      First gen or second gen? I have a second and I love it! What are your plans for one? DD or modding it? It definitely lacks compartment storage, and the interior might seem a little small, but other than that you can't beat it.

      Not uncommon. See a lot of diesels run low 11s, lifted and on 37s

  7. Just sent my cluster to Steve (Silverado777) aka GM Gauge Guy, so my truck will be down for over a week..................Now I have to drive my dads M3, Darn

  8. thinking of trading the G8 for SSS

    1. silverado777

      silverado777

      That's not the usual progression. Most go from a G8 to the CTS-V. But if you are wanting to get into a truck again I would understand. I seriously contemplated a 2014 6.2L Silverado before I got my V. All depends on what you want.

  9. saw a post for a supercharger for $2800 with extra goodies but has 180000 miles on it what you guys think?

    1. silverado777

      silverado777

      Thats about what they are going for. Just make sure it has everything you need.

      Where you located? Have you tried craigslist?

  11. My RPM needle was acting up this morning. And my oil pressure gauge dropped all the way to 0 when it was idling outside. Kinda weird. May be time to get ahold of Steve for a cluster rebuild.

    1. silverado777

      silverado777

      An easy test is to find a buddy with a full size GM Truck or SUV from 03-06 or 07 classic and put the gauge cluster in your truck. See if you still have the problem.

      What was the RPM gauge doing? Does the oil gauge do anything else that is weird? Could be the sending unit.

  13. Thinking about buying an Escalade as a DD/beater to keep the miles off the SS and the dog out of it.

    1. silverado777

      silverado777

      You can always buy my truck. It's far from a beater lol.

  14. Little food for thought. Try to be more than just a sperm donor to your children. They will thank you for it.

    1. silverado777

      silverado777

      Wait what if I really am a sperm donor? lol Jk. My son will be here in about 2 months. I so freaked out a excited all at the same time. That kid is going to be my whole world!!

  15. The worst thing you can do is look up brake pad reviews to help you choose a new brake pad!

    1. silverado777

      silverado777

      EBC and Hawk are the popular ones. I just want ones that have good performance, no noise and not so dusty. I'm thinking EBC yellow stuff.

      No kidding! You can read a good review on a pad and they state that there is no dust or noise, then 2 reviews down someone is saying they are all dusty and noisy! So frustrating! Especially when you are about to drop $250 for a set.

  19. Well shit.... So much for a slow weekend and being able to do my Maggie spacer. I gotta put a motor in a 2002 Dodge Ram... Fun...

      I think the guy that installed mine used the gasket and something called "right stuff", looks like a can of cheese wiz.

      Make sure you seal that thing up really well. Last thing you want is a vacuum leak making you run lean.

  22. Nothing compliments a whole day detailing like cat prints one hour later.

    1. silverado777

      silverado777

      Now when the cat only shows up and walks all over the car in the middle of the night. I'm a pretty decent shot but there is no way I'm going to chance hitting the car or truck. Lunch meat and a cat trap works wonders.
