Wonder if they will offer the extended warranty to Chevy buyers, when they discontinue Chevy trucks...kinda like they did with Oldsmobile??
LOL

As to the Bow tie, that's an awfully odd approach to choosing a vehicle. You'd switch to a Ford simply because of a bow tie? I mean, I like the GMC a little a better too, but it would take a heck of lot more for me to switch to Ford because of an emblem. It would probably take a lot of drugs and high doses of alcohol to make me do something so drastic.

1. PUTCO (get stainless--more$, but worth it.)
2. OEM--someone has a set for sale on one of these boards. Do a search.
3. Line-X
4. someone else will have to advise here
5. Lund Interceptor
Lots of different ideas, these are just my preferences....May your titlest hit a 15lb. largemouth, rendering him unconscious, and continue on to find the hole, from the tee on your next par 3 over water...(ie. good luck and enjoy!)

Rough guess itll be out sometime in the next 5 yrs
Did i hear a question about bed liner, bug deflector, nerf bars, and FENDER FLARES?
Just check out http://www.picturetrail.com/ryanbab
that will answer all your questions
Ryan
thats all that counts
Good luck on this one now!!
Seems more like not only do we lack info on the bed...also, since we already own the trucks, it is not in the interest of the many to seek the info out....making the bed a moot point...unless someone plans to trade a year old truck....just for the bed...

They tested these pickup boxes in some coal mines i read a few months back. They were torture tested
The OEM fender flares for the Silverado are a sick joke. Could they possibly have found anything less attractive to stick on there? Find a piece of 1/2" foam pipe insulation and jam it on. Looks about the same and much cheaper than $140.
The local dealership here had a 1500 dressed up with nerf bars, deflector, window air deflectors, etc.,.....ALL aftermarket, even the fender flares. Noted.

in addition to pics of westin platinum cps nerfs, wade bed rail caps, line-x utr spray-in, bridgestone dueler at's, and bilstein hd shocks you'll find some helpful maintenance tips, and a section showing my new sound system installation (replaced everything but the head unit). questions? drop a message in the guest book.

OEM (pre 2001 / paintable) Flares
OEM = Lund Bug Guard
EXTANG works well for soft cover; A.R.E for hard.

Next time ill add yours didnt even think about it
Hey how come you have been so quiet at my site?
NO TOWING or CRUISE CONTROL
vary the rpms dont stay at one speed to long
Thats what i did with mine. 2795 changed the oil
at 9K i changed to mobil 1
LS in pewter with the 5300 was the best choice"
LOL, I don't know but I think thats the most popular pickup on the road (brand+color+options). Mine is also a Pewter 1500 LS with the 5300 engine.
Anyway I second the Linex recommendation for bedliner.

What do you think of the Legacy amp? Is it clean, like no background noise (hiss)?
i think your suspicion may be right about the speaker level outputs because i haven't yet been able to achieve the sound i want. red suggested i swap the leads on my front 6's because i'm getting too much bass to them. tried that and didn't like it. will most likely get a cross-over network that limits the bass to the fronts. if i can eliminate the bass distortion in the fronts at high volumes, i'd be happy as a pig in slop.

Agree with Ryan. Mobil-1 is great, but avoid it until you get past somewhere over 5K miles. There's a school of thought that says it's too slippery to allow proper break-in. Certainly used to be true; don't know if it still is, but why take chances.

kyle did you ever confirm what we spoke of in relation to the ohm loading?

Regarding the bass problem, if it is just too boomy or has a strong resonance, then adding baffles and insulation may help. Unfortunately you can't add much because the window still needs to work. If the speaker is distorting, and it's not due to pushing the amp past its limits, then the speaker is probably under-rated to handle the power. Don't put too much faith in manufacturer's power ratings, and totally ignore "peak" or "max power" ratings. You can reduce the bass as much as you wish by adding a series capacitor. Send me an e-mail if you want details.
BCO try this place for the problem you are seeking to adjust,

bass blockers(aka capacitors) will also reduce volume.

thanks to all for your suggestions!

There is no upside either.

Not sure if Mobil 1 helps much, but what the heck, I live high in the mountains where temps change 40 to 50 degrees daily, and figure the more uniform viscosity might help.
