Bought a used 2005 Crew Cab 4X4 2500HD Chevy Duramax and I am already fixing it up.

Here's a pic of the truck on the dealers lot just before I bought it:


At the top of the "TODO" list: Window tint, Edge Juice w/Attitude, alarm w/remote start and more.

I'll be dumping pics and more info here as I fix it up.

So far I'm pretty happy with the purchase so I will "plug" the dealer:

Brown Boys
614 S 1st St
Yakima, WA 98901
(509) 575-7914

If you are looking for a full sized truck these guys have a lot of them and they seem to be great guys to work with. I am happy with my overall experience.

Ask for Robin or Frank and let them know that 4WheelingPlus sent you!

The AFE air cleaner was put in so I would have time to figure out which cold air intake I will be installing. It's looking like the Banks scoop is a pretty killer product but I still have lots of research to do.

LOL!!!
Not much to see here except for the mess that was created while I installed the alarm and remote start system.

YES: I do alarms and remote starts. I started my vehicle career with 12 volt electronics and I still love to do wiring. I just wish I had more time to keep on top of all the changes in 12 volt technology.

The difference between what I was an expert at in the 1990's and today is crazy. It's way easier today than it was a decade ago.

Full truck pics will be posted ASAP.

Stickers are FREE! We just need to figure out how/when to hook up and then what size you can use on your rig. Very Happy

Those stock rims/wheels are pretty nice looking but my plans are to buy new ones that are blacked out.

I don't really like the chrome look.

i like the truck! i think that black rims would def look better than the stock ones. any idea on which ones you are going to get?

as for the stickers... i am out of town till sometime next week... so maybe the end of next week i can swing by the shop? size wise... any size'll fit. i got big windows on the dodge! haha

New front brakes. EBC brand (new to me) but so far I like them. I may sell this in the store as they are really easy to work with and seem to be very competive price wise.

STOCK:


NEW EBC rotors and "green" heavy duty brake pads:
