Love the truck. Just picked up an 07 with 33k miles and am starting the mod list.

Do you have a picture of where you mounted your back up camera? Also do you know of a link to a how to on the dash lighting upgrade to LED? (Light switch panel, heater, etc.)

Focals are real nice. How do you like them?

Glad to see someone else appreciates focal!

They're my favorite components I've used other than the set of image dynamics I have in one of my trucks. Too bad id sold out though

the focals are amazing , im thinking of switching my amp though (jl mid line amp) . imo they can do better than what i have pushing them imo

Ill update this post soon , I just had mike l do a built allison with a goerend billet converter . I did my Fass 150 last weekend with beans sump. Today ill be receiving my 3794vs stage 2 turbo and ill be doing my lml manifold , magnaflow downpipe at the same time.

I also have a cool pcv re route that looks stock ill be rigging up along with eas sensors to my cts (booost and egt ) coming from my non expandable egt .I have caught the mod bug a bit since my trans took a doo doo.

i have an alpine back up cam license plate frame

Back up sensors arent as good as camera so i dont use them.

there is a good how too on silveradoss.com and performancetrucks.net for the led how to

I do alot of cluster repairs for people so its pretty easy to do if your handy with a soldering iron.

P.N.W
if you can solder, or do the interior led conversion not too bad, just mark your needles before hand , and buy the back ground, needles and possibly stepper motors if yours are acting suspicious. With the led's make sure you know your resistor or youll be doing it again . blue is 480 ohm and bright white is 580 ohm ( or the closest to those numbers)

Lol ,I have about 12 of thise. I don't drink often it's not dos equis.

Little update to this thread

New additions

Cognito 4-6" ntbd kit with fox shocks, 1" block
Red head steering box
Custom hydraulic p/s lines I made
Custom pcv re route with gates hose and gates heat shrink clamps (plugged intake but not resonator)
3 " magnaflow dp
Lml manifold with oem heat shield
Moog pitman arm(better than napa top of the line )
Fass 150 w beans sump
Nicktane w 2 micron cat and billet bleeder
Shimmed for valve

Still need to finish these

Stainless brake lines with clear black cover
Edge cts boost and pyro gauges (I tapped the cast aluminum intake to keep it hidden)
2" Deaver mini pack

Alignment was tough , the rare parts tie rods and cognito kit combo leave almost no room to get a wrench on the threaded part to tighten the jam nut.

Then maybe I'll re install the fender liners.

The turbo sounds awesome , love te power it has , drives 10x better with the lift kit and flat cv's.

Only things left are the 01-02 hd hood and a 29+ foot dcb to pull.

Some pics

so far so good , my box developed a small leak but had very little play I was sad to give it up for a core when I couldn't find a box for a decent price so I said to hell with it and sent it away. I got a good deal on the red head but from what info I researched as well that the newer units were redisegned with better parts and holding up well. The guy I got it from has done a few recently and also had good things to say . I don't drive my truck too hard , after all im in cali but when I do i am in the sand or snow .
