Haha... I got rid of the BMW to get this and the 2000 Camaro got worked into the deal for all the work going into the Trans Am. I'm down to just the truck and the T/A now and plan to stay that way for a LONG time! I went diesel mainly because I know it will run forever, tow/haul anything I could ever want, and do so comfortably... With the intake/exhaust/tuner, this truck is getting 21mpg to boot!

'06 LBZ GMC sierra 3500 dually. its going to be a driver/towing truck for an enclosed trailer and/or camper. mod list so far is:
egr delete
intake heater delete
pcv relocate
big left exhaust manifold
downpipe
cat delete
4" exhaust
rebuilt turbo with upgraded bearings (did that since it will have exhaust braking)
efi live towing tune
transgo jr shift kit
deep trans pan
air bags


i bought the truck with a broken crank. i located a used #2 main cap that fit tight in the block, had it line honed, and rebuilt the engine. everything bolted to the engine got rebuilt/resealed/cleaned/etc other than the injectors which i cleaned and put back in since they are ~$800 each. this is the most ridiculously tedious and overly expensive engine i have built. i now tell anyone in the market for a duramax that its an awesome truck.... until it needs repairs.

Nice truck. I love the legroom that the megacabs have. I've always been leary of selling a truck with an aftermarket tuner on them, I've seen some come in way screwed up. When they are done right, they are great! Congrats.

Gotcha gotcha... Not bad at all! Sounds like you got a pretty decent setup! Your not the guy that owns the older black vette are you?

I forget the name of the tuner... Smarty JR67 I think? I looked it up and it had pretty good reviews and is super easy to use. The truck is a short bed. It's right around 6'

That's a huge cab. How comfortable is the interior in the truck?

I haven't got too much seat time yet, but so far I really like the interior. The seats are comfortable and there is no shortage of leg or head room

Gotta love a mega cab! You have almost more room in the rear seats then you do in the front!
