Offroad Design has been testing the BDS kit on one of their trucks to see if it’s something they can take on Ultimate Adventure. They’ve had good feedback, other than weak CV shafts on some of the extreme trails. I had a 4.5” Cognito kit on my Duramax, with lowering keys, and a deaver mini-pack...

oh wow, that’s way more than I was expecting. That’s pretty awesome. I wonder why they remove the skid plate and limit straps though?

Haha I swear I read the whole thing... I guess not. anyways, good luck!

Sweet rig. Can I ask reason for selling and if you'd entertain trade offers?

What’s the tire size in those pics?

Gotcha. I’m sure it’s exponentially more complicated in California. I’m mainly worried about if I ever went to sell it. Look forward to seeing it when it’s done!

Right on. I can relate, I’ve got an 02 Duramax ZF6 and I’ve got an 02 Suburban 2500 but it’s got the 6.0. I may someday follow in your footsteps. I’ve always waffled back and forth on lifted burbs after gmt400... the rear proportions just seem kinda off... but there’s a lot of awesome things...

Dang, that was a bummer when I saw your flop from FSI Glad to see you rebuild! Any reason you didn’t want to just do a cab swap or fix the Duramax?

I’m wondering if the second tank is just gravity fed only? Gmparts direct and rockauto come up with a few different options for part numbers for the pump. You mean cutting a hole in the floorboard to access it? Maybe, I’m kind of over the Burb so I just might do that. Carpet could be replaced...

@rayra does your 1500 burb have the 36 gallon dual tank setup? Have you replaced the fuel sending unit? Our 2500 burb just left us stranded on a trip last week. Reported half tank of gas, acted like it was out of fuel. No fuel pressure at the injector rail, or only minimal pressure after...

Wow, awesome! Any more about your build?

How do those Tahoe’s perform and stand up to that kind of use? As far as I remember, the only changes they get is a skid plate in front and cut bumper and I think shocks. Or are they more modified than that for fast desert patrol?

I thought about that after, that it might be a different trans. I'm still impressed it made that much of a difference in MPG having a double OD Your take is interesting on the 6Lxx vs 4Lxx. I've never owned a 6Lxx rig, but my 2500 Burb with the 6.0/4L80 combo when towing heavy and hitting...

Agree'd. There's also a lot of bandwagon hating going on in here so far... not sure why that's necessary or even warranted. Recommendations from the couple of 2500's I've done: Upgraded tie rods Upper control arms Kryptonite ball joints have an unlimited lifetime warranty against all...

Wow, 16.7 MPG ... that's seriously impressive, considering. My 02 6.0 2500 is lucky to get 11-12 MPG. I wonder if it's that much more improved aero in the GMT900, or is it tuning? I believe the GMT900 still uses the 4L85-E? Most other people I've heard from are right around what I'm getting...

Any orders for them in 2019 Q1 & Q2 (I believe 8 total in Q2) have been indefinitely postponed. The 12 or 16 that were made in Q1 is all that will happen for 2019. So yes, they were available, but I think 2019 is going to be the full on death year of them.

Love that truck man. I can't tell you how many times I hop on the Ford Build & Price page to spec out an F150 similar (although I tend towards ext cab). The factory options you can choose are pretty exceptional for a starting point. Are you able to get the 36 gal tank with the short bed? The...

I was about to ask this. What's the material made out of or what's it wrapped in? I've got a ZF6 manual but would like to do something similar or build a whole new center console.

Also, Rayra, did you ever solve the fuel filling issue where the tank seemed to pressurize and trigger the gas pump to click off?

On my 06 Duramax the original owner's lift kit had drop torsion cross member brackets on it. When I got rid of that junk, I was able to buy through GM Parts Direct everything I needed to return it back to factory. The ears for the frame, the bolts to hold it to the frame, and the entire...
