[black out]

Some people used plastidip for the lights, but VHT looks a lot better. Plastidipping the wheels is a good idea.

[Should I switch or stay?]

Leaks sometimes occur because regular oil causes the seals to expand more than the synthetic does. So switching to full synthetic, the seals will not expand as much as previously. In your case, switching from synthetic to full synthetic won't cause any leak problems I think.

[NEW! Adam's Made in the USA Detailing Clay - it's finally]

Sounds like another good detailing product. Will definitely try it next time.

[Cooper Discoverer A/T3]

I have some friends that run them, and they say that AT3 wears well, provides good traction on wet/dry roads and is extremely quite on the highway.

[Rear window tint]

Same here. but when it comes to peeling the tint off, you can also use a mild chemical to dissolve the adhesive without damaging the defroster agent.

[03 silver center caps oem]

How's the quality of those caps at Ebay? I'm planning of getting a set also.

[Tail-gate SS badge]

I like also the look of de-badge trucks. Are you planning to paint your wheels with black?

[bed covers; roll up vs fold?]

Or you may want to get the benefit of having a roll up and folding cover in one. I know that the Truxedo Deuce offers this kind of feature. Here's a link I found for some info - http://4wheelonline.com/TruXedoDeuceTonneauCovers.52596.0 .It can be hinged open at the front of the bed for fast access to that area, and it can be rolled up completely for full access.

[Anyone have any experience with Duplicolor]

If you want something inexpensive, you can spray painted your truck with rustoleum flat black. My friend did this on his truck, and I know it cost him around $135.

[D1SCSS 2003 AWD build]

Your truck looks good. Did you notice any difference using an Edelbrock intake? Thinking about replacing mine and would like to get ideas.

[Brake Caliper Paint]

The sticker really adds a nice touch. I think I'm going the same route. Thanks for the ideas and pics.

[Best 4 season tire for the SS?]

I had the Michelin LTX's and had no problems with them. Great traction on dry and wet roads but less aggressive on mud.

[Painting this weekend]

Cool. Looking forward to seeing the pics. Planning to paint my calipers as well, so I would like get tips on how to do it right.

[another new guy]

Hi all! I just picked up a 06 Silverado SS. Want to upgrade it and do some mods. I'm sure this forum can help me with the information I need.
