that is sick what color are you goin to paint it

angelic0- 09-23-2010 01:59 PM

I'm still deciding if i will paint it Matte Black or High Gloss Black :P

PREDATOR 09-23-2010 02:04 PM

Matte Black for sure!

:choochoo:

Farmboy 2.0 09-23-2010 03:28 PM

Matte black would be awesome

Nice pictures, a bit overexposed though. I would say gloss black... having owned matte black before, its a PITA to keep clean, unless you go with a semigloss. You can't wax matte black, and finger prints will be hard as all get out to get off.

nice pics

country_boy 09-26-2010 12:35 PM

nice truck :rocking:

angelic0- 09-26-2010 07:02 PM

Saw a matte black Chevy today, covered in mud... talked to the owner... reason it's covered in mud is because it's PITA to keep clean and now he's decided to just "never clean it" and he's going to paint his semi-gloss.. but i think i'll be going with high gloss black...

Has anyone painted their chrome bumpers, mine look preeeeeeeeeetty bad and i want to just paint them or replace them with something better looking (think i'll go with the OEM front and get someone to build a beefier rear)

Taking the licence plates off tomorrow and starting the teardown, clutch said goodbye today :')

Can't paint chrome. Well, you can, but it will chip off. You can sand it, still won't help. Might be able to sand blast it, and get all the chrome off, then re-prep the metal and paint it from there, but thats not guaranteed.

Go with the Gloss black. you want a Custom bumper setup? I know a company near here that does some excellent work.

angelic0- 09-27-2010 06:51 AM

Since i'm over in Iceland i have to have them built here, shipping is a KILLER !

Well that blows chunks! I think shiping all around is whacking most people in the pocket book!

Sold my GM truck... miss it every day, but.... got a cummins now... it's cheap compared to what my Dmax had cost me :)

angelic0- 09-30-2010 06:04 AM

LOL, look at my last comment.... and now my Cummins is probably sold :O

A friend came in with his 02' Dually Dmax and offered to take my 00' BMW 535i and 95' Cummins in straight trade :)

Looks like that's the new sport :)

angelic0- 11-10-2010 11:12 AM

I cancelled the trade.... couldn't leave my CTD...

Here's a recent pic, put 285/75R16 D load on it, 35s were better looking, but i think this will be better for street use...

She looks pretty good. I think gloss black would look amazing on her. What all has been done to it?

angelic0- 11-17-2010 11:01 AM

OMFG !!!

Gearbox and TC are enormous and :edit: heavy...

angelic0- 11-17-2010 06:28 PM

OMFG..... this is GREAT !!!

Truck feels 50.000.000hp more powerful, (since now it builds pyro / spools up faster)

but... can it be that i'm not getting full fuel over 2400rpm with stock GSK ? it goes to 2800ish but lacks power after 2200-2400rpm...

i'm trying to hold back on myself since i need 600miles to break it in (am i correct on this?)

aint no mother****** gonna powerjoke me no more !!!!

*edit*
it's btw about 2-2,5hrs since i finished installing... and i just got home now :$

angelic0- 11-19-2010 10:14 PM

OMFG ???!!

""#%"#$#"%#$!&#$&!#

This is not true they due make a flat clear coat..I think a matte black would look cool

angelic0- 09-16-2012 12:02 AM

Well, RIP...

I've pulled the power and driveline and am installing in a 1500 gasser...

Horns 09-16-2012 04:18 AM

What happened to the truck?

angelic0- 09-16-2012 11:11 PM

it was too rotted out, so i decided to make a short bed 1500 "club cab"

angelic0- 09-19-2012 04:33 PM

Just got sponsored by a Authorized BOSCH dealer, took my pump in to get it built...

are here any part numbers for OEM performance delivery valves, took my injectors to get them pop off tested, all of them were popping off at 239-241bar... 20bar from the original values..

Pump is getting benched next week, i will probably post a video of the before and after build results...
