Bought my Dream Diesel Truck off the Internet, SIGHT UNSEEN!

[@Brette_Caldwell]

That's a very good looking truck. That pearl white and brown interior is a very very nice combo. Glad diesel is back.

[@mr_mazerati1596]

Beautiful truck for it’s year. Cant wait for the mods in the future!

[@georgecarreiro6966]

Yes!! This is going to be a good built!!

[@seanholeman1450]

Do the Suspension first. Then the performance mods. And then the Stereo. like I'm not sure if they make a kit or not but I've seen the 4 link coil suspension conversion for the 2019-2022 chevys. I'm not a fan of leaf springs. I know you're not doing off road but the overall drove would be more comfortable imo.

[@matt13ross]

Man I gotta do the stereo asap it sucks!! Lol.

[@seanholeman1450]

Well do that when you're doing the performance stuff then lol But I'd personally like to see the Suspension stuff done first. 😜

[@kristoferfc6525]

Sad to see the ZR2 go, I've been far too busy with my own business to do any content. I'll let you know if I get any traction with the truck on KZbin, good luck to the new content with the HD

[@matt13ross]

Either way, I'm just happier and more excited to drive and modify a diesel. Not a ton you can do with a ZR2 at this point.

[@camerontuma3526]

LML are amzing trucks just as some advice get a lift pump and do a CP3 swap before any big power mods CP4s are very finicky with fuel. If that CP4 lets goo it'll be time for a new motor

[@matt13ross]

Yup that's on the list!

Dude super happy you got rid of the ZR2 it just wasn’t doing it for me!. And now you are back to diesel! Awesome!!!. Intake exhaust and chip first!. Then suspension wheels and tires!.

[@matt13ross]

Diesels are just so much better!

[@robm3357]

You can get vent visors (like I did) that fit in with the window gasket. So there is nothing stuck to the paint of the truck. They look factory. Especially on a black truck. It will not ride like the ZR2 because it has heavier suspension Looks good Matt Will be interesting to watch the changes.

[@matt13ross]

I'm hoping to lighten up the suspension a bit as I won't be towing much or often.

[@gregsobek722]

Lasfit makes great products, I have them in my truck. Also noticed the husky liners, much better than weather tech. Check your air pressure, I'm sure there over inflated. Giving you a harsh ride. As for mods, please don't drill a hole in the hood. Good luck, glad you got rid of the turd !

I like the floor mats but hate the color lol. No hood holes!!

Can’t wait to see this build. I’m definitely interested because I have no clue what I’m going to do once I’m done with my baby max in a couple of years.

On the reverse lights do the brand called diesel leds they are awesome ive had them for 3 years on my silverado and nothing is brighter

[@thelastdragon3242]

I wonder if you could get that thing running on veg oil? Always get your under the hood stuff on the level first, delete, catch cans, performance plug wires, bigger turbo, secondary inline fuel pump. Truck needs maybe a 2-3" lift. Please don't do LEDs in the wheels. That's it.

Lol no wheel lights I promise!! Exhaust may be done soon.

[@christopheragundez4347]

Hi Matt, you're looking to replace the factory stereo system in your truck. No problem. Stinger makes a nice 10 inch deck that would be perfect for your application. It's called high ten. I have the 8 inch version in my 2008 Silverado.

[@matt13ross]

I saw that and like it. But it says it doesn’t work with Bose and it’s $1300!!

[@christopheragundez4347]

@@matt13ross if you want really good sound you would greatly benefit by replacing the Bose amp and speakers. Yes it's pricey but you can also add additional cameras. I guarantee it's well worth it.

That’s more work than I’d like to do at this time lol.

[@christopheragundez4347]

@@matt13ross I'm an audiophile. Not everyone is in the position or willing to redo their whole audio system. I spend a lot of time in my truck and I went the extra mile with changing out all the speakers with high end components, added a subwoofer, the stinger deck, a really nice 5 channel amp and a DSP. I'm into it for about 6,000. But it sounds like a concert.

[@michaelhrgn]

Performance first , that will buy you time to make a game plan for the rest of the build, this should be a better build then the full size zr2. Chevy just didn’t make that truck special enfought imo. But the Colorado zr2 should defiantly be on your radar that’s going to be a hit ( and I have 21 zr2 diesel I picked up when I heard the diesel and the crush color was going away ) the the specs on the new ones have look really good .
