  1. Well I purchased a stock hood for $50 and thought I would make a cowl out of it.

    I was looking at the aftermarket hoods and I didn't find one that caught my eye and taste so I made my own.

    I am repainting my whole truck this summer, and my buddy does realistic flames and he's going to ghost a "SS" in the center with ghosted realistic flames running down the middle of it coming off the "SS".

    This will be my summer hood and I will put my stock hood back on in the winters.

    I still have some fabbing and welding to do on it, as well as the body work (Bondo, Sanding, etc) after I figure out how much clearance I have to the wipers and windshield.

    Let me know what you all think.

    BTW it's a 2" raise in the rear.

     

     

    DUDE... thats freekin awesome !!.. when you get done there you can do mine.. ;) great work !

  2. OK this truck is killing me. one issue after another. And i really like the truck. So again i have an issue. Pass side wiper quit working. Driver one works fine, pass side stays down and sometimes works, sometimes works off beat and goes 1/2 way up, sometimes works 1/2 and catches driver wiper and gets them both stuck... I know there is a bolt in there right?? is that just loose? anyone have this before?? thanks in advance.!

  3. Did you inspect the e brake shoes?

     

    I checked them out. they seemed fine. My mechanic said that would have nothing to do with the brake squeal tho. They do not activate with a brake pedal push. they are on a different system. Why would the eBrake squeal when i push the brakes??

  4. No they have shoes inside the rear rotor hub for the e brake. So you are no 100% sure that the rotors were chaned/cut ?

     

    I know they were 100% brand new rotors. When I take it back up to get them looked at again i will check the eBrakes. Does the eBrake function when the brake pedal is compressed?

  5. Which rotors are you runing in the rear? When you replaced them did you inspect the e-brake parking shoes?

     

    I am not 100% what rotors they used. That was done by the dealer and i was not there for that. Not sure on the eBrake. I thought with rotors they used the brakes for the eBrake???

  6. If you only hear the brake squeal only when the brakes are applied, then it has to be related to the retaining slide clips or slide pins. You are sure the squeal is coming from the rear?

     

    Yes.. the old clips were bad so they were also replaced when we installed the GM breaks. We also tried some thick gue that goes on the back of the pads. Yes the sound is from the rear. put it on the lift, ran the engine and applied the brakes. Really bad form the rear.

  7. ok.. I am about ready to roll this thing into a river. I have had brake issues since I got the SS back in Sept. The dealer made an agreement with me that they would fix the brakes. They squealed so bad that even with the music up you could hear it. They installed 2 different sets of brake pads, that didn't work. Next they installed a new set of rotors all around. That didn't work. So i complained more and more, they said i could take it to someone closet to my place here. My friend has a shop so we installed one set of gold brakes, still squealed, then a set of GOOD GM brakes. and they still squeal.. what the heck?? Called them again and they said to take it back and have it fixed..

     

    what can i do?? another set of rotors?? the squeal is coming form the rear wheels. any ideas?? :(

  8. Selling my AVIC D3. It is in really good shape. no scratches and works 100%. It will come with the GMOS-04 to plug right into your SS. This thing does it all. Nav, play DVD's, Sirius and XM, back up cam, and many more options.
