Just bought a new gmc sierra! *trip report post 247*

Pulled the air dam. Starting to actually look like a truck now!

lol yes, they are not deer! They are Elk. Was pretty cool how they were just hanging out. We watched them for about 15 minutes or so before continuing onto the beach.
 
Wonder how many more times i can get this thing sideways before the rear end blows up... :doah: it just does it so good! I do wish tho that traction control would default to off. Its annoying turning it off all the time.

Press and hold the traction control button for 7 seconds to disable stabilitrac :deal:
 
I do that too! :) I would like to know if the new eaton g80's like this one has are different from the old gov bomb g80's.

On the leveling, i like the looks of tge 2.5" but i think im going to stick with 1-1.5". I dont want to do away with all of the rake. I just want to tone it down a little.

And as far as getting it sideways, its not like i do it every day. I have really only done it 3 times. Im sure the novelty of being able to do it will wear off soon.
 
I have found that power slides/cookies in the rain are only to be done in open areas. The way the "locking rear diff" Works, it makes it really hard to control. Im normally pretty good at controlling my cookies/drifts/whatever but this thing (in the rain) just whips right around. In the dry its not nearly as bad. But here is a little vid from today behind a supermarket nearby.



EDIT: and no i didnt just floor it and leave it there. I should work on my technique a little, but i should also stop doing stuff like this in my new truck! Also its hard to hold the camera and control the wheel!
 
I think you'll be happy with 1.5 up front. If you wanna go bigger, you could always do a body lift later on...these trucks hide them really well
 
I have found in these trucks If you hold it in the slide loosen the grip and they will correct themselves. :doah: I have been able to look like ken block a few times with this. :haha:
 
Smokey burnout? :popcorn:

Not really. It was wet.

im pretty sure i will be satisfied with tge 1.5.

I havent had the balls to try too much in tye wet for fear of loosing control, nore too much in tge dry for fear of blowing up the 10 bolt.
 
I understand, these are new 10 bolts. I like to think they are low miles, not tossed around from truck to truck and you know the history so it's safe.
