@@OronasGarage I love it. there is almost no drone. It's a little louder than I thought it would be but it's pretty quiet. and other than that, it sounds amazing and is more responsive.
Thank you! The 03-07 classic is probably my favorite body style. I think they look really good. One of my buddies did the skid plate for me but there’s a company that sells them along with some other stuff for the 99-07 body style. The company is called TRP fabrication. As far as the front shocks go, since my truck is a 2500 King makes the shocks for it. I think if you aren’t planning on going long travel the only option you really have is a spindle lift with a different spring and fox 2.0 shocks. However I have found some custom length shocks that you can have done on Accutune’s website. So you can try that, or this other site I found where the guy started making kits to do a coil over conversion and you would have to remove your stock coil and I don’t remember if you have to weld in or bolt in the new lower shock mount into the coil bucket.

@@Bowtieforlife444 the headers are from Flowtech. I purchased from Jegs and I believe I have the 1 3/4 primary tubes w/out EGR as I deleted my EGR. Later on I will most likely get some long tubes but it’ll be a couple months at least. Thanks! The skid plate helped some with tire clearance but now that I have the torsion keys, I think I want 37’s lol
Would you recommend the kings shocks, been interested in them for a while but also fighting the urge to delete the torsion bars in all and make a coil over setup work, supposedly they make them ride really well is what I’ve been told
Personally I like them a lot, I’ve had them for over a year already and I think they changed the ride quality especially on fire roads or off-road. I have also heard that the coilover conversion is a drastic change in ride quality but I have personally never been in a truck that has had it done. I would eventually like to do that with this truck as well.
I converted my 95 yukon from torsion bars to 2.0x6 king coil overs WAY better ride is especially if you get them valved right. Torsion bars suck and then we all crank them up to get the ride height we want and they suck even more
This was with the R, and then I added an Xpipe later I actually have a video up of that as well. I liked it but just a bit raspy for my liking and also had a lot of drone in the cab. If I didn’t drive the truck a lot or it was a little street truck I would definitely have kept the R lol
@@OronasGarage I know but I saw in this video you didn't have a x pipe so it made me wonder what it would be like. I drive mine a lot as well. I love how the tr sounds but want it just a little bit louder while keeping the way it sounds. I might throw some long tube headers on her and gut the cats. Definitely a lot more I wanna do to her.
@@jwatt95 gotcha! I’ve been itching for some long tubes as well. In this video I didn’t have cats either. It definitely has a different feel to it and changes the tone a lot. So that’s why I have the two resonators for help deaden the cab noise. Lately I’ve been wanting to change the axle back portion and possibly do dual out from the passenger side with dual tips but then I’m like ehhh I like the single outlet. I’m always indecisive lol
@@jwatt95 in the fly by video it definitely is not as raspy and I kinda miss the carven now lol. I’m currently running the Borla and it’s definitely a nice exhaust for cruising with the fam. Has some bite to it but not like the Carven. What long tubes do you plan on running? I wanna do the TSP.
Thank you! No sir, it was completely stock when I bought it. A buddy of mine actually built the bumper for me. I have a video on it when we did it too.
Here is the part number. Flowtech: 31142FLT Fitment is great, this part number is actually for the 03-07 2500HD so it does not have port for the egr. I deleted my egr to run these headers. You might also have some clearance issues with the spark plug wires which is an easy fix. You can get wire insulators or change over to a different wire.
I don’t have any data to tell you any numbers as far as the HP gains but I have a 4 inch intake to the S&B filter box, Shorty headers, full exhaust with cat delete and I use a super chips tuner and run 93 Octane on their “performance tune” setting. With that, I have noticed more pedal response and I feel like the sluggish feeling the truck had on the bottom end is no longer a real big issue. So I’m sure there was some gains, just don’t have any real numbers for you. As far as MPG is concerned, on highway, the most I’ve ever gotten was 340 miles in one tank and I have a 26 gallon tank. That equates to 13mpg. Naturally these 6.0’s matted with this body get around 11-12mpg so I wouldn’t say I had any significant gains in that area, however I am also running a 17” wheel with 35” tire with 4.10 gears, so if it were the factory 16 with factory tire, I would assume my mpg would be 14-15mpg. Hope this helps.
Oh really? I purchased mine a little over a year ago through Accutune. I haven’t looked to see about availability recently but I have actually been thinking of selling them…. Lemme see if I can find some sites that have them available for you and I can add the link here in the comment here.
I actually haven’t lifted my truck. My truck is an HD model so I believe it sits slightly higher than a 2500 non HD model from factory. I haven’t ever cranked on my torsion keys and it doesn’t look like the previous owner did either.
Been thinking what route to go on mine, 2001 , 8.1 , allision , ccsb has the stink bug look but i want to keep it "stock" but your truck sits perfect, then you said its stock also so im stuck lol. Nice truck !
Thanks! I think what you can do if you wanted to try it is, crank up your torsion bars a little bit then either get a longer shock to compensate for the ride height or get a shock extender. It’ll ride a little more stiff, but on these trucks, I’m sure you’ve noticed the ride isn’t all that smooth lol
Absolute perfection
@@doughboy1966 thank you, appreciate that!
Best looking gmt800 imo
Thank you! Much appreciated!
Sounds good and looks good
Thank you! Mucho appreciated!
i have been looking at those same wheels for my 95 silverado..They look great!
Thank you!
What size tires and lift? 35s and 4?
Sounds good at idle back pops alittle more than mine but sound great
Thank you good sir 👌🏼
And I bet it rides good
When everything was fresh it rode really good! The shocks are 3 years old and have about 50k on them so they need a rebuild now.
What tire and size are those? Your truck is great. I have the same one with a Flowmaster 50 big block and I love it.
Thank you! The tire size is a 35x12.50R17. Currently I am running a Toyo M/T. How do you like having the Flowmaster?

At least someone took care of that truck there all destroyed by now
