Installed 4 new tires this afternoon. They look real good.

I've always like the look of those, but love the proven radial long trail ta I run. BFG makes great tires.

Phil,

you put all that time and $$$$ in the new parts and tires and then install rusty lug nuts. What is the world coming to?

Lol....it was a last minute thing. I was going to use the 16" Hutchinson Bead-Lock rims(Tires were cheaper at $920 for a set of 4--315x75R16E) but Costco would not mount them because they are bead-Lock and not for the highway.
So I went with what was on the truck when I got it. I was debating on having the rims painted flat black(lug nuts also).

Ordered a Airdog II-4G, 165 the other day. Just have to fine the time to install it.

I removed the troop seats and mounting brackets from the bed of the truck yesterday.

I also had a bad belt pulley, bearing was making a loud noise. I thought at first it was my power steering pump going bad. Ordered three pulleys (Gates 36310)and the tensional pulley(Gates 36239) off of RockAuto.

Just got the pulleys in the mail today. Installing tomorrow.

Added the topper to see what it would look like. 3 color camo paint coming soon.

We have some GSAs like that around Bragg. There's even one with an "attic" above the cab that I've seen.

My laptop crashed with all my saved manuals. Anyone have the LSSV manuals off the GM site before they removed them?

Picked up some side steps here in Maryland. Heading back to Florida Monday.

LSSV: 2005 Chevy, 2500, 4X4, 6.6L Duramax Turbo Diesel Engine, Allison Transmission.

Location: Portsmouth, VA.

Road trip will be about 2,000 miles. My time is short on getting this truck because I fly out on the 26th for a two weeks of training at Camp Atterbury, IN. Just hope I can get off work to make the trip.

The truck will need some work...Fuel tank(missing), Drive shaft(bent), Drivers door repaired, Tailgate and ???????

More later.

Where did you find this? Was it on a website?
