Personally I think the rain guards look great on these trucks

Who else thought of “let me get 5 on the diesel” just found your channel beautiful Chevy! Subscribed to see her progress.

Not a chevy guy, but this is a real nice truck and if it were me id keep it stock as a rock. This is when Chevys were good in my opinion, they dont make anything i like today unfortunately so to see nice older pickups like this puts a smile on my face

Being from Michigan, I'm blown away every single time you find a diamond gmt800. I've had my 2005 Silverado (226k miles) for nearly 20 years now. The rocker panels, fenders, and cab corners have that bluetooth connectivity 😅

Definitely keep the rain guards, they look great on any truck

“I have officially had this truck for 2 days and it doesn’t even feel real” - the best feeling in the world. Hope you are still enjoying the Chevy!

Keep the rain guards, they look good and they’re practical. And if you ever have your window pop off track, you can force it up to almost closed and not have to worry about it leaking. Speaking from experience here, definitely was a life saver

wow that truck was finished 5 days after i was born. for a 16 almost 17 year old truck its in really really good shape! good on the previous owner for taking such care of it.

Extremely excited about this truck and the path you take! Keep up the great videos

Banks is an awesome intake. I’d suggest ordering the cover for the filter. I ordered the dry filter with the filter cover and the scoop and the scoop makes a major difference in intake temps. My intake temps are roughly 2 degrees above ambient when rolling. It woke the truck up, I also have the banks six gun tuner.

Btw, you can cut a little square space out in your fender for servicing the fuel filter, and cut two little small holes for some hard to see zip ties, once you’re done with it then put two new zip ties back in. Also you don’t have to take the plastic screw all the way out. Just open it one turn and pump until you see fuel

I bought my LBZ new in late 2006 and have been able to change fuel filter from the top every time. A little tip for you, after replacing fuel filter start your truck, when it stalls just crack the purge screw then pump until fuel comes out, close screw and pump the primer until it won't depress any more. Start the truck and you are good to go. I actually put a valve on mine to make it less messy. Then I added a lift pump and can forgo the bleeding process altogether. If your truck is 4wd you'll want to add the BRNY plate to your transfer case pump so you don't end up with the pump rub pin hole. I also added the filtration systems bypass oil filter as well to filter the oil better. There's a lot you can do to these but I would start with the mods that extend the life of the truck. Also, they came with a shallow transmission pan, I would replace it with the standard,or what most call the deep pan from allison.

Must do in every diesel is never let the fuel level get that low! Good luck with that duraslack!!

Just bought a 2012 Silverado 2500hd gas and am also still in the ,”I can’t believe it’s my truck!” stage! Just love everything about the truck!

I couldn’t agree more with ya chase about the sunroof design how it opens, I’ve always loved that look. I’ve even thought about putting a aftermarket in my 2020 trailboss 6.2 but it would cost too much to re design the current one lol. Awesome truck man!

Aren't there drain tubes for the sunroof that go down the A and B pillars? It's pretty common for those to get clogged and cause water to puddle up inside the roof and leak onto the headliner. Might want to look that up and try cleaning them out.

Thank you for this!! We are looking at getting our FIRST Diesel and this was super helpful!! Appreciate you!

My 02 2500 HD 6.0 Has 425,000 miles. I do my own work and put brakes on all 4 . Calipers pads rotors hydro boost power steering pump rebuild entire front end new tires and i added coil overload springs on the rear. Without getting into the engine it gets regular oil changes and runs like new I put a visor and roof racks modified the tailgate to receive a 1/5 wheel or goose neck. For cun i put an altimeter on the dash and a rain guage on the front bumper . My brush guard has a hndyman jack a comealong log chain double bit ax and a buck saw. magnet to hold a couple Tools its paited camouflage with bedliner paint.

I have a 2009 GMC that I bought in 2014. I changed out a bulb on the tail light and that whole pocket was full of dirt. Your tail light pocket area was covered but on the newer trucks it is open to what ever the tires throw up there. I bought a set of aftermarket rear wheel well liners and put mudflap material in the opening of the pocket. I live in Upstate NY and that would be a perfect spot for the salt to eat up that area. The truck only had 17,000 miles on it when I bought it.

I absolutely love the rain guards, I’m a big fan of the truck! I always do vinyl between the windows especially with the tint makes them look aggressive

I have an 05 duramax (same specs without a sun roof) and personally I love my rain guards… I don’t care for the look too much, but I use the function all the time, it keeps bugs from being sucked in the window while I’m driving and it’s good at keeping rain out even with the window all the way down.

I’m getting more into trucks so watching this video I really enjoyed it can’t wait to keep watching more man keep it up 🔥

I’m very excited to what you’ve got in store for this. Great content keep it up

Love the rain guards as well, with blacked out windows they look amazing keep em

just got a 1994 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9L blacked out rhino lined with some 22' black rims , red calipers, also just ordered a cherry bomb extreme and some magna flow high flow cats can't wait to install it so hyped to hear it roar

I super appreciate your videos! You’re a good guy! Keep up the good work!

Absolutely love this truck, got a 04 1500 extended cab and absolutely love it.

All paint matched, Roll pan, Bed cover , an 5 Star Denali stocks wit graps 😮‍💨👌🏻

Just my 2 cents but the truck is damn near perfect in my eyes, I know it’s not much be but it’s definitely gorgeous as is keep up the sick content man

Definitely love the channel !!!!!! Hopefully ill be purchasing a 18 Silverado next year i loved the way yours looked

Thanks for the heads up on the Name! I have 06 gaser and a 07 Duramax and I never knew that

Excited to see the set up you got coming👀

I feel this , I just got my new truck, 2010 silverado 6.2 ls, so surreal

Usually sunroofs leak because the drains that run through the pillars are clogged. Love the truck!

I’m so envious dude. I have a victory red LBZ too and my hood paint is coming up but yours look so good. I live down a dirt road so it’s hard to keep clean but man that thing looks and sounds so good.

Your truck looks great. I have seen a bunch of older trucks with good paint and body and that clean up real nice, but with clouded out headlights! I know they aren't cheap. Just go with OEM if you must , but it will really makes a difference!

beautiful truck, i’ve been looking around for a truck myself and I’m decently considering the cateye’s now, thank you!

Name it CLIFFORD!!

I’ve always wanted a carbon fiber wheel on my truck, so expensive but they have suede and everything looks so nice, if money is no issue I’d check into them for the duramax it would look sweet with the interior

Great truck. We've had 4 2005-2006 cat eyes. Get the transfer case checked. There's a part inside of it that vibrates a hole in the case causing a small leak. We had to replace to cases at the same time.

Dude I really like that truck. Lookin forward to the upgrades on that sucker for sure!!

I soak my air filters in hot water and dish soap. Then rinse it . Seems to clean it the best . To speed up the drying process I put a hair dryer in the filter and leave it for 10-15 minutes. I also work for Cummins and it’s best you install the fuel filter dry so you aren’t filling your new filter with contaminated diesel.

I was into your 2018 as that's what I own (red) but this truck is the best so far. Even as it sits right now it is just sweet !

Diggin the video champ thanks. Im thinking of finding me a older used F250 and just fixing it up and eventually replacing the engine.

Beautiful truck man. It reminds me of a silverado my grandpa used to have but white.

I think this is the first of these trucks ive like looks good sits right paint is shiny and sounds nice 🎉Congrats

This video is great love the quality and it is just enjoyable to watch with good information!

Hell yeah man great looking rig! Maintenance first always best practice. I can't wait to see this thing paint matched up. Some 22" chrome forces maybe?

I am super happy for this series! I just found you, I got about 2 or so weeks until I get my Colorado, im 16 and im paying it off for my grandma, I was talking to my grandpa about it before he passed, its a super nice truck and he was planning on selling it for cheap anyways. Its an 06, but I have been lost on what i should be doing, its got 100k miles so ill have it for a while and I plan on putting my heart into it.

Love the cat eye lbz real excited for this build🔥

Fly them window vent visor's. That and the bug shield be the first things to go on my truck purchases.

Your videos are so calm and entertaining keep it up man

Man, that is a beautiful truck!! it's almost my dream truck as well, except I want a long box and a 3500.

Change All the fluids over to Amsoil, and run a bottle of the amsoil Ctane and injection pump lubricant in every tank of fuel and you will never have injector problems.

Hell yeah I’ve been waiting for the longest time for you to get another duramax!!! Keep up the videos man I’ve been waiting and love your content!!

Levels to life 😂 love it You got a beautiful rig though! I’d be hard pressed to find something that clean in the northwest.

Love this series on the truck awesome!

Good choice. Love my 2007 LBZ.

Finally a good reason to watch this channel, you got a diesel baby, I was starting to think you played for the other team cause all your other trucks are gas suckers, can’t wait for all the content on this truck

Yessir congratulations man! She’s a beauty!

I'm a big fan of the rain guards. Prefer the ones that stick on the outside of the door rather than in channel just my opinion. Looks great either way.

I like the window shields, have them on my LML your truck looks great.

I love the truck you purchases. Rain guards look good as I use them a lot my self and also use the sun visor. I wouldn’t go without either of them. In channel visor look better then the one that mount to vehicle 😀

Bro that's a hell of a beautiful truck.

good job bro! looks great!

Absolutely a beautiful truck! Have you ever thought about using mothers black trim restorer?

Chevy 5 star wheels are a must!

When you put the monster in the cupholder, all I could smell was wintergreen and cigarettes from high school oooo the good times.

It’s nice to see someone else using Kobalt!! It’s the little things that get me excited 🤷‍♂️

Definitely get led courtesy lights, they look so good

man im so excited for you ! keep it up as always

Level your tow mirrors. Then do an egr blocker plate. That will bring a noticeable difference to acceleration

tow mirrors on the 2500’s look great u should get some like 2017 silverado tow mirrors

thats a bad ass truck! id love to own one just like that

dam lucky! nice truck congrats i would LOVE a red duramax. mine was blue had to sell it for personal reasons but i miss it so so much

Hey dude. You remind me in some nostalgic way of a friend of brother that i never had. You have a great vibe. Good man.

Every time I get a new truck I clean it extensively inside, new oil and filter, fuel filter, drain and fill the diff, new trans fluid and filter, clean or replace air filter, check the belt, drain and fill the coolant. The tail lights I would replace and I always put in LED license plate lights and reverse bulbs too.

Truck looks great! Holy Grail cateye right there!😊

Keep the rain guards. They look so good on these trucks. Mine looked naked without them.

The aluminum stock wheels on those years look so good I just wish they were bigger than 16’s. I put the newer style 5 spoke ltz 2500 wheels on my truck but every time I see a gmt800 with some clean polished aluminum stocks I question myself

my top three must do's are straight pipe, slam with coils or air, custom wheels

I got a 2003 Chevy Silverado 2500hd classic love my lb7 but enjoy that truck definitely a great truck

1st must upgrade for you is new tires bro 😆. Solid unit though, love my cat eyes!

I actually work for Hardy Ford, which is the same owner that owns Hardy Chevrolet where the truck was originally bought from and I haven’t seen a Hardy decal like that in years

Such a beautiful truck!

Get you one of PPE's duramax bleeder screws. They're metal. And you should definitely keep its name Heather

Love this truck every time I see it

Man, awesome truck I’m pretty jealous 😅

Great truck !!! I was wondering does this generation have a cabin air filter.

That truck would look amazing with a paint correction!! That paint looks like it’s in amazong condition

A good suspension kit from Detroit axle the one with the complete hub bearings and links and shafts and ball joins and bushings.

Keep rain guards. Change out those side mirrors to some nice color matching ones.

I like the rain guards on trucks but it would look good either way

Ive always liked the stock look on most trucks, there are nice aftermarket parts but sometimes they just arent the look.

If youre good to it, it should be good to you! Ive had my lbz for 4 years, its at 240k and still loving life!

Chase you can replace the plastic parts in that sunroof for under 200 in parts and it is totally doable in under 3 hours.

Those Banks filters are actually manufactured by K&N (I worked there for 5 years). Perfect product for the job 👍🏽

I would say that that filter is toast.

Honestly best year for trucks if you ask me I like the older 2000s even 90s trucks 96 ford is my dream truck my dad would let me drive his work ford around the ranch as a kid and ever since then I wanted my own

The amber headlights would look nice too
