Very cool. Enjoy it!

While Chevy / GMC may not CURRENTLY have a sport truck option to offer, to me this lends hope that they will have to respond to the market and produce one. I cross my fingers and toes.

The next time we are scheduling a Northeast get together, you'll have to join in! There are usually several over the course of a year. I don't have my SS anymore, but I usually still go, because we have a great bunch of people. Keep an eye out in the Events section of the forum.

While I like the stock SS wheels, they always looked a little too flat for me. That's why wheels like this with a wider lip appealed to me. The first ones that I saw that I liked were the wheels on Krambo's (Kevin) truck (I don't remember the make), They are now on 8hnpSS's (Niko) truck. I don't think they are made anymore. The BBS's I bought were pretty close to that style, and I really liked the look on the truck. I also had 355/50-20 tires mounted on them. Those BBS wheels are an inch wider than stock, and it filled the wheel well nicely without my truck being lowered.

Here is my SS when I had the BBS wheels on it. These wheels are on Rockhead's truck now. (I voted "yay"!)

You're correct. I had forgotten about that. The article linked by diggerdan11 mentions that.

What kind of condition was the shipping crate or box in when you got it? If the packing was damaged, they would have had to have done that.

I didn't see where it's stated that the AWD is going away. That's something I like about mine, and liked about my SS too for that matter. If that is now optional in addition to the 6.2, then I would have to agree with you.

I like it too. The reasons for the standard 5.3 may be two: better average fuel economy with the standard engine, and keep the base price lower. 420HP out of the 6.2L is NICE though.

A lot of people like Goo Gone for that sort of task, but I have had even better success with Goof Off. Use sparingly.

Wow...

Good luck with it, Shuan!

Congrats, Eddie! Great run. Hope to see you (and the truck) soon!

Sorry to hear. I had a similarly pushed in rear bumper on one side, and I used a small bottle jack and a small piece of wood on the bumper bracket & frame to push it back out. If you go slow, you can get it exact. Good luck, and better luck in the future.

I don't think Felix and Denis Potvin were related. Denis was a Norris Trophy winner, and is a Hall of Fame member. Felix... not.

Islanders fan since the beginning. Some lean years since the glory days! Nice to see them giving the Pens a run for their money.

I'm afraid I will not be able to make it this Saturday. Sorry, Jim.

Yeah, I'm on it. It is a business "social" site. Make connections in your own field, as well as other businesses. It is not "recreational".

Nothing that a hand grenade wouldn't fix.

I'll be attempting to clean up the Corvette today, after the trip to Florida. She's a mess.

I also had a dual in/dual out Magnaflow, with dual pipes out under the rear bumper. It wasn't too loud for me, but I also had horrible drone on the highway that was annoying as hell. Dumping it under the truck will make it a lot louder, I think.

Did they give you the finger?

Not sure about what's available for Camaros, but there are Corvette Restoration Guides that have all that sort of information. VERY detailed guides, because the NCRS is strict about restoring everything exactly as it came from the factory, or preserving its originality.

Sorry, Butch. I know how it feels. You had the truck looking awesome, too. Hang in, and fix her up again better than new.

On my SS, I originally put on dual Cherrybomb Turbos (true duals), and loved the sound, and had no drone. But they eventually rusted out, and I replaced them with a dual in / dual out Magnaflow. I was unhappy with how much drone that had! Sold the truck with the Magnaflow on it. My first mod to my Sierra Denali was a Corsa Sport system. Exactly true as stated above; quiet inside, awesome outside. As a matter of fact, I think it's TOO quiet inside. It's better in the warm weather with all the windows open. I recommend the Corsa.
