  1. Hahahaha as if the Colorado on the car domain link isn't sad enough, read the comments. Some dude was like "nice truck that's a good idea!" NO! That is a horrible idea. I saw an SS replica Avalanche done the RIGHT way on New Orleans craigslist a few months back. It was super clean. I can't remember if he had a 6.0 or not, but the body was spot on.
  2. She should be jailed for identity theft.
  3. VOLCANOES?? AWESOME. And I decided to get the Airaid Jr. kit that comes with a free flowing tube and connects to the stock air box, which already draws cold air from the wheel well. I dont trust the open filters either, doesnt make sense to spend $300 to suck hot air. Anyway it's the tube and a nanofiber filter for $160 bucks, Ebay. Bolts right up to your stock box, and you dont have to move the MAF either. Installing tonight, will post pics.
  4. Sorry this is late, just came across this post. I too am looking for a tuner near NOLA. I know of two, as stated Thunder Racing- one of the guys from there has his own shop now also in Baton Rouge called Engine Power Systems (engpwrsys . com) , and a new one in Lafayette called Lethal Racing (lethalracing . com). I am considering both, Baton Rouge mostly because it's significantly closer to New Orleans.
  5. Straight pipes out the back, $200, and thats with dual 18" stainless tips. It sounds like a monster at WOT and almost sounds cammed at idle, especially when it's cold. It's good if you like to wake the dead, and you can barely hear it in the cab.
  6. I too am curious to find out more about the differences. I just bought my dad's 08 MAX and he ordered a 2011 Sierra 6.2 and we were trying to find out what the upgrades are to make that significant jump in HP. Also, is the L9H the truck engine and the L92 the SUV engine? (I thought it was L94, different years?)

  16. Yeah I want to say Rough Country has a 1" lift available. That's definitely something to consider. I Just dont want it to look dumb when I put 275/55/20 tires back on.
  17. Hey man thanks for your reply. I posted this with tongue in cheek, as lifting an SS is blasphemy, punishable by death in 50 our of 50 states and DC. But I thought maybe someone in the VHO/VMAX section might have some experience. It's worth a shot haha. I appreciate the help, I just registered on GM fullsize and posted my questions there. I had some drop shackles on my old truck and it looked super clean. But this being a 4WD, dropping it is also blasphemy. Im gonna keep the leveling kit on the front so at least it's level. Thanks again for the help! I love it here, there are some seriously dedicated members.
  18. My 2008 V-Max came with a 3" body lift and 35" tires. I bought some stock 32" tires and I plan to remove the lift. I know for a fact I need bumber brackets, but I'm not sure what else. I do not have the stock parts that came off of it. But my friend who lifted his 2005 gave me his stock bolts. Does anyone know if the stock body to frame bolts are the same size from a 2005 to a 2008? Also, if the the longer bolts are threaded enough, could I just re use the bolts from the lift? Is there anything else I need to know about that I might run in to like the steering shaft or gas tank hose? I don't want any surprises when i start this project. Any help is appreciated, thank you.
  19. I wish it would stop raining! Can't get any pics of my new truck clean. 10 day forcast is bleak

      I was at least able to pull it under the car port and spend 2 hours detailing it on the inside. looks like new now. I would gladly send some rain to TX. My friend says it's been brutal hot.
