Pick it up Tuesday...
If all goes well, and it should, I'll be pick her up on Tuesday.
![]() Sorry for the ****ty phone camera, but I'll get some better pics up, when I get'r home. It's a 2012 Chevy Silverado, 4x4, 4.8, bluetooth, mp3, on star, xm radio, pw/pl/pd, A/C, cruise, 40/20/40 seat, and chrome package. I can't wait, this is the first brand new truck or car I have ever bought, pretty excited.

Nice truck. How does that 4.8 move it?

Re: Pick it up Tuesday...
Pretty good actually. The new 4.8's are 302hp/305ft, which is only 10hp/30ft less then the 5.3. I haven't really got on it yet, because it's only got 110km on it and is still being broken in.

Re: Pick it up Tuesday...
I'm already planning to put on a levelling kit, bigger tires, a tonneau cover, and spray in liner. But, that it. After that it's back onto the '84.

Re: Pick it up Tuesday...
Took it in today to have a dual exhaust put on, I'm going with a thrush welded because I liked the sound on my old 97 Sierra with a 5.7.I've had it 6 days an only have only put 350km's on it and I'm already cutting it up
![]() Got a price on a levelling kit, it's a ready lift 2.25. Just gotta find out if 285/70/17's will fit. I'll try and get a video of it when I go get it later. I'm pretty happy, now the truck sounds like a truck.

Got a vid, but I will do another one in a few weeks or more, after the exhaust is broken in, and I have a better camera

Re: Pick it up Tuesday...
I did my 2011 with a Magnaflow setup and dual outlets. Good sound and a healthy change in flow. I also installed a set of Kooks headers on my 5.3.

Re: Pick it up Tuesday...
Picked up a ready lift 2.25" levelling kit. Gonna be a bit before I get it on, gotta find the time to do it. Gonna run my stock tires for a bit, they are brand new after all, and eventually get some 285/70/17's on some aftermarket rims (haven't decided which yet). I might run some 255/80/17 on the stockers, if I can find some decent winter tires in that size (it's not looking good).

Had a little of this today
![]() Which lead to a lot of this ![]() before ![]() after ![]() ![]() 4x4 sticker is gone too ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Got it all waxed up too, even polished the rims and detailed the interior. Next step is to colour match the frontend.

Re: Pick it up Tuesday...
I lucked out and found them on KIJIJI (Canada's craigslist). Picked them, the mirror caps, a gas door, and two tailgate guards up for $110

Re: Pick it up Tuesday...
Hey, what did you do with the Bowties you took off the doors? That is a nice clean look...I have a 2011 Crewcab in here & would love to have the small Bowtie for the Silverado lettering on the tailgate.
