Default The toy hauler 2007.5 duramax

Kinda bored so felt like sharing my toy hauler. I picked this truck up 4 months ago for $19,500 with 150k miles on it. Truck was definitely used for its purpose as some farmer used to previously own it. Figured that out when i pulled 10lbs of mud and corn stalks out from under it when i got it home. Slowly been fixing the imperfections and making it how I want. Was bone stock when i bought it, has the z71 snow plow package with dual alternators, didnt know that or really care just noticed it when i went to look at it.

I got matching white door handles, 4"mbrp exhaust turbo back, egr blockoff, custom tune with hptuners, blacked out tail lights and third brake light. Spray on bed liner, 5% tint all the way around with 35% front windshield. 16x9 moto metal wheels with a 285/75-16 tire and the brush guard. I wasnt going to put the brush guard or wheels on but the guard was free, and the wheels and tires i got for super cheap locally.

Heres when i first got it home...





Heres after tint, tail lights, and matching door handles...





and heres a couple of how it is now...

not really, figure i can achieve all that I want with hptuners. Now that these wheels are on i need to change the tune for more fuel economy. Buddy of mine is running the same identical truck and mods, so we kinda learn from one another with tuning and doing stuff to our trucks. Since i havent even bothered to look into efi live, what would i gain from it that i cant do with hptuners?

From everything I've read efi live is the best tune option for the duramax, ill be getting the dsp5 switch and the autocal from Idaho rob in the next couple of weeks.
