  1. Same truck as above. Wish this guy had more info on what brand and the details of the lift. I've only ever found these pics without details. Everyone says you can't lift the AWD because of driveline vibrations, however people have done it and they never share the details lol.
  2. Can you post the part numbers? I need one of these also.
  3. Have had my airbag light on for about 4 weeks. I screwed up and went to the dealership who charged me $130 to read the code and tell me it's "B0100". Service advisor proceeded to tell me that it's a 2hr job because the airbag sensor is under the dash and hard to get to. Google search while I sat there told me the fault code is for a front sensor. I declined the repair and while paying my "diagnostic" charge I flipped over the repair order and took a pic of the part number they quoted me "10370149". Now I bought a cheapo code reader and fid out it won't read airbag DTCs or clear them. Anyone know of a scan tool that is affordable and reads/clears the airbag codes? I just want to replace the sensor and clear the code myself.
  4. Are we all watching the same video? I just see a Fugly lifted 2wd with a guy walking around trying to sell it. Other people are talking about someone getting pulled backwards and beating up the truck
  5. This is on my "to do" list for my SSS I never wanted the chrome wheels anyway and can't afford to buy black wheels or powder coat the stockers. Only thing stopping me now is that I live in an apartment and need a buddies driveway for a few hours to take the wheels off.
  6. maybe I'm and idiot but what is a "dbw" truck that the PCM is referring too? I can't wrap my head around it. LOL
  7. Random interior request, do you have one of the small square covers that go under the SS badge next to the radio? Its the covers for what would be the airbag off switch. Price shipped to 33160?
  8. Why does it need to be warranted? Is there something wrong with it?
  9. Sorry for the delay man i was trying to find a box a work but had no luck. UPS store wants $12 for the box and $20 to ship. If you are cool with the $32 then I can send it out today or tomorrow. Or I can give it another week at work to see if the right size box come in. Just to be clear, you will be getting everything that comes off when installing a AEM intake. The box and filter, tray that holds the box, tube that runs to the throttle body. If you dont need all that let me know and maybe the box will get smaller and weight will go down.
  10. Havent found a box to fit it yet. Should be able to find one at work Monday or Tuesday if not i'll just buy one at UPS store. yes I take Paypal ill give you address when i get a quote.
  11. I'll get it boxed up and shipping quoted. Get right back atcha when I can.
  12. Both item basically free you just have to pay shipping or pick them up in south Florida. Stock 2005 SS intake airbox assembly with filter. Pulled off around 60k miles. Stock alternator with bad voltage regulator. I bought a brand new AC Delco unit that didn't have a core charge and I have no use for the old one. Might end up at the scrap yard if I can make any money on it but I figured I'd post it up here in case i never make it to the scrap yard haha. Items located in zip code 33160.
  13. Where in KY are you located and what are you looking to get for the overhead console?
  14. I have been looking into and researching this since I bought my truck 2 years ago. The SSS is a great platform for a decent high speed desert or snow toy. The truck almost has a 33" tire on it in stock form and its got a stout drivetrain to haul ass. My SSS sits higher than a few saggy Z71s. I will never lower a truck anymore than the factory did but I have no problem raising them up. My truck is still a truck and I need it to perform as one when I require it. Pull a trailer, haul scrap metal, drive over curbs or parking blocks, and through whatever regular weather I have in my area. I have driven my SSS through a few muddy fields to see how much the Eagles suck in the goo (they suck bad by the way), through flooded roads that exceeded 12" in depth, and down unplowed roads with several inches of snow. This thing is a 5200lb brick that is a blast to drive but I will never consider it to be a race car. A small lift would be of more use and a lot more fun to me than lowering it. That being said here is what I know about lifting an SSS. As with any vehicle there is no limit when there is no budget. The only company that has even made a "lift kit" for the SSS is JDfabrication. You can see the truck and kit on their website here. This is the truck that Offroad magazine did a feature on a few years back. It's extreme and its expensive but it is badass. Now with that out of the way there are no other manufacturers that will market their lifts for an AWD truck. I have called and asked several and then finally got a great answer after writing to Offroad mag. Jerrod Jones directed me to a similar question and its reply that was posted in the September 2010 issue of Offroad magazine: AWD Issues I am currently building up a 2008 Sierra Denali AWD. Recently I had a 2.25-inch leveling kit installed (roughly 2,000 miles ago) and am now experiencing CV axle failure. Assuming this will be an ongoing issue, I am looking for something stronger than stock. Thus far I have come across RCV Performance and they seem to have an outstanding product, but at $480 each they are expensive. My question to you is do you know of another manufacturer that has an economical replacement? I would need something compatible with future additions like ICON coilovers, BMS upper A-arms, etc. I appreciate your help. Todd Albrecht Bradenton, FL Todd, without personally looking at your truck, I can only guess what your issues are. I’ve heard of issues with all-wheel-drive vehicles being lifted before. Usually it’s a transfer case issue or a front drive issue (like you’re having). In your particular instance, I’m guessing that the reason you are having issues (where other truck owners with 2WD are not) is because your CV shafts are constantly propelling the vehicle as drive axles. Even though a CV shaft in an IFS 4x4 is always turning, they’re not being “powered” or propelled in 2WD. And I’m guessing you’ll have the same problem with the coilovers or a leveling or, even if you use new BMS A-arms (the arms will help with camber though). And unfortunately, it’s not guaranteed the RCV shafts will fix your issue, though they are fine products. The angle may just be too great for those shafts to be constantly driven. I also don’t know of any cheaper heavy-duty replacement for the stock CV shafts on your GMC. There are stock replacements available, but it’ll just be replacing what you already have. So to get your SSS in the sky it would be best to swap out your t-case with a 4x4 unit. For me this was a deal breaker and I gave up on the lifted idea. It would be much more cost effective to buy a 4x4 and just stick the SSS body parts on it like the guys in the pics poster earlier did. Hope this clears up the lifted question that a few guys have had.
  15. I figured the SSS was closer to the 1500HD because of the 6.0l not being available in the standard 1500. Either they put the 6.0 in the 1500 or pulled the HD parts off the HD truck.
  16. Does anyone know of any physical differences in the frames of the SSS vs the 1500/HD? I'm not talking about the suspension but the actually frame. As in would suspension and drivetrain parts swap between the two trucks?
  17. Looks great man. I've loved those wheels since before I got an SS and was wanted to out them on a lifted 4x4. I want the black wheels on my black truck. Cool thing is they also make them in a 20x8.5 so I don't even have to buy tires to swap out wheels.
  18. Anyone know if these bulbs will work in the clusters?
