Default My first mod to the '06 Duramax!

OEM GM Escalade door handles. I couldn't stand the rough black plastic factory ones, so I had to touch it up a little bit. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Being that the truck/motor is so new, the only programmer out for it right now is the Bully Dog Power Pup. I'm going to wait it out to see what other companies have to offer.

If anything, the truck will go up, not down. I plan to crank the torsion bars up a bit to level it out a little when I put 285/75 tires on it. Its still gonna be higher in the rear, just not as much. The tires definately need to be bigger, just waiting for other programmers to be released to that I can compensate for the tire change.

The first mod should have been getting rid of those hideous wheels and tires those trucks come with.

The wheels don't look too bad, its the tires that throws it off. I plan to put 285/75 tires on it when the money becomes available. A set of wheels may be in the future, but not anytime soon. Need to continue saving for my new motor for the Camaro as I was a little side-tracked with the truck.

BigSteele, inside handles? Wasn't aware that they had inside ones. Not worried really about the inside anyway.

Iffy on the install, why? The rear doors took me 10 mins. per side and the fronts 15 mins. per side. Nothing to it.
