LOVE this truck the power is unbelievable compared to the 6.0 gas I had. I took the ford and dodge for test drives and I have to say the Duramax feels soo much better then the others!!

Congrats!

Sounds great, congrats!

Nice color choice there my last truck was simular to that. I didn't want to go black again, I had a grand am that was black, but it looked sooo nice sitting on the lot:cool:

new question where should my oil pressure be at on this? at Idle it seems low., about half way between the redline and the 60 mark. Is that right?

New Pics of the DMAX!!! Cognito leveling kit with 305/55 20 Nitto terragraplers on Ice 889 wheels, MBRP 4" Cat back exhaust, Diablo Predator set on 85 hp, and got my winders tinted!

BTW ran a 15.3 in the 1/4 with those rims and tires on it LOL

Man, I like those wheels and tires, what back spacing are they? Also, are the 305's close to 35" tall?

I'm not sure on the offset but they are a 9" wide rim and with the cognito level and torsions cranked they did rub on th back of the fender. I had to take the inner fender out and modify the fender itself so they wouldn't rub any.

The 305/55 20 is equal to a 33.2 x 12.5 tire

I was going to do a 4-6" cognito lift and put a set of tires that equal a 35 on these 20's BUT the tires would be around $460 a TIRE!!!!:doah: I just can't afford them:mad:

If you don't mind me asking how much do the 305's run?

I paid $260 a tire for them

waytogo Looks even better.

Did the 20's affect the ride quality at all?

not at all I didn't feel a difference. some say the cranking of my torsions would give it a harsher ride too but with the Cognito Kit and Procomp shocks it rides better then stock. So it might be the kit that made up for any ride difference.

Congrats on the new rig

Nice new truck, I love my LBZ.

Hey Chris, nice truck! I don't think I realized you were on this board.

Your truck looks a lot like mine as well!

You're the one that told me about it LOLwaytogo

Should have gotten the Dodge
































But nice truck

But nice truck

I took a ride in the Dodge and the Ford. not bad trucks but I like the quietness of the Dmax and the power of it.

OH I am a Chevy guy so I was biased:stir: also I like the feel and options the chevy's offer in thier trucks.

congrats

Great choice! I just love my GMC 3500 with the LBZ/Allison combo. Got it last December 2006.

I like it. I am glad my 3500 didn't have those. Now I need to decide if I take off the 3500 and/or Duramax emblems. My 5" pipe is a pretty good giveaway that it isn't a gas engine.:D

That looks great, I would remove the "4x4" sticker on the bed though.

Very nice looking truck! I'd get rid of the 4x4 decals on the bed and also the 2500HD badges on the doors. Leave the Duramax badges on, though. Personally, I like the looks of the '06-'07 Duramax badges.
