Here's a small update...
4.8L engine/ 4L60e trans was tuned by NelsonPerformance.comCan you say POWA?
Added a Detroit Truetrac to replace the stock weird feeling G80 carrier. Originally, I put a set of 4.10s I had laying around but they were noisy. I checked the pattern and the drive side was perfect but the coast side was all over the place, everywhere but the middle of the tooth. The gears were in a rear end of my 93 when the Auburn broke. I guess it ruined my AAM gears.Oh well, 3.23 gears are back in place.
The GMC rim and tire on my truck weighed in at 63 lbs, FWIW.
The cheap drop-in RuggedLiner the dealer installed to hide the scraped up bed was pulled and one of Alton's buds sprayed a new Dupont Urethane bedliner in the truck and along the edges of the rail where the drop-in liner had scuffed up the paint. The new Dupont liner has UV protectant in it to prevent it from turning grey like most sprayed in liners you see. BTW, the drop-in liner is now riding on top of the sprayed in liner for twice the protection. I know, it's overkill but I didn't want to just throw the old one away.
Removed the BowTie off the tailgate using fishing line and then a 3M eraser wheel.
The truck did not come with the Driver Information Control (DIC) control panel so I ordered one and installed it in about 15 minutes. I now have access to all information available to the luxury truck drivers, except outside air temp.You can get it cheaper but you'll be looking quite some time to save just a few dollars...
