The 'lift blocks' are only used on the 2007+ NBS GM trucks and the 4X4/Z71 OBS GM trucks.
my 06 has 2 in lift blocks but if i take them out i only have 1" up travel till i hit bumps. im thinking about cutting the bumps a lil so when i go camping i more up travel.

^^^not true...we use 9006 for lows, 9005 for highs. i have both kits on my truck now. 8K lows and 6K highs...theyre bright as hell and i love it! the highs do take a few seconds to warm up and get bright but its well worth it, especially if you do the headlight mod to keep on the lows when you flip to high beams. if you dont want the blue look at all, go with 5k. and theyre right, slim ballasts arent really needed, theres more than enough room to mount the ballasts. just a word of advice, if you use the stick on pads that they send with the kits, please zip tie them on as well. the pads WILL fail and there goes a ballast down the highway...they wont warranty them if thats what happens. Already had that happen to two of my friends because they didnt secure their ballasts with anything else.
what i meant was the bulb from DDM is the same for both 9005 and 9006. it just uses 2 different size o rings to seal out the elements. the box that my bulbs came in said 9005/06 on the box. it came with blue orings on the bulb i had to take the blue o rings off and put the thicker orange orings for my low beams

So this is what you all are saying you bought? http://www.ddmtuning...d=102&parent=85 Also if so you bought two of them.....one for low beams and one for high beams? Also one more stupid question...we use 9006 for low and which one for high?
ddm only has one kit for the 9006. the 9006 fits the highs you just switch to the blue O ring they give you. orange o ring for lows. i have the 55w 8k for my lows and fogs. they are way bright. i also have 2 hella 4000s 55w 8K also behind the grill. i already had one of the low beam bulbs change color on me. i drove to the HB store (10min away) and they replaced them no prob.

i actually had a 00 ext cab S10 with the 4.3L auto it was actually a fun truck. a good first car, then i realized im 6'2" 280lbs. i need a bigger truck. so i upgraded to the one i have now and boy will i never go back to baby trucks again only gets bigger from here
-
Ok so never mind on the picture request.
I was able to hook up my stock stereo back, i turned it on and all the lights came on but then it shut off, and now it wont come back on. I checked the radio fuses and they are perfectly fine.
Does anyone know whats up with it? Is there and internal fuse that might have popped?
I would not think that the Stereo is going bad, its like brand new, it was taken out of my truck as soon as i bought it
im no expert but maybe the theft lock on the radio is blocking it? i would go to local stereo shop and ask they would prob know.

yah i dont have the SS
wish i did. i have the vortecMAX. mine tops out at 98mph. for now it does when i get a actual PCM tune its getting removed. but im waiting to get a intake, and headers before i get one. -
i would say your bottom end sucks, the 4.10s are great for getting these heavy trucks up to speed and for pulling their wind resistance. Put lower gears in and i bet your top end speed would go down due to not being able to overcome the forces applied to your truck at high MPH or your time to that top speed would increase. Your 33" tire is also killing you in weight and in gear ratio. But yeah they do look good.
The hemi's are no F150, the quad cabs have no chance on the lq9 stock for stock but the reg cabs will give any stock ss a run for their money. But any race is fun race, i enjoy the civics myself.
ive had a couple civics for dinner they dont expect a big truck to keep up but when i spin and chirp tires like them they. give me a second look. then they eat me ass end. but they always get me at freeway speeds. i top out at 98
havent had it removed yet. i bought my truck with TM removed nothing else done. -
yah i had a kick out of it. i dont have any TM on my truck but my top end sucks.
wonderful 4.10s. -
i was driving home on the 15 last night and this brand new hemi came up next to me and was speeding up and slowing down. trying to get me to race. then finally i agreed. and damn those ****ers are slow. i started pulling on him right away. he had the 5.7 HEMI, i have the 6.0 LQ9 vortecMAX motor. my truck is lifted with 33" tires his was stock. im just astonished mine beat it so easy it was pathetic.
-
yah ive seen the slip ons before but didnt know how good the worked. ive seen a lot of the camper mirrors on 1500s and they look pretty good. from the front looks like diesel. but once it pasts and you see the baby bed you know its not.
-
just do the 4 hi mod , imo you dont use the hi's enought to justify the cost , low with hids and high with halogen is plenty imo . although i did just do los and fogs in 6k hid on my dmax . that shit is too bright and i feel bad for people in front of me .
yah they are bright for sure i have 55w 8k in my lows and fogs. i also have 2 55w hella offroad racing lights that if someone cuts me off or when its really dark out i turn them on they are way brighter than any people i know.
