LML Silverado Duramax C-Max build thread part 4
Flyin6:
Next, I applied the "Real Man" decals to get the truck properly branded!
Flyin6:
Here are some shots of the truck down at the farm "Mall Crawling"
It's off road here, and in low range but really, there was nothing challenging at all about the brief off road venture. But it was fun!
Flyin6:
Oh, yes...I did paint the Chevy bow tie. But only because it was chipping apart from the inside. It is now a nice shade of O D Green!

Well, not completely. Recently I had to rebuild the AD165 fuel pump, which I would no longer recommend due to the fact that the motor failed for no good reason in about 35,000 miles!
I had not registered my purchase with AirDog and although I had the receipt, they would not warranty the unit and I paid something short of $300 for new parts. No worries, Fass is out there along with others for my future builds.
With that done, one of the crappy HID headlights burned out, then a second, then a third, and then one of the HID Hella, spots. What did I learn from that? I am done with the HID junk which is mostly awful and cheaply made chinaman junk. The Chinese manufacturers spend more time on packaging and bling than on product quality.
Want another example? I had two of the ball joints wear out in those Cognito control arms, They did not last 40,000 miles! Having discovered the worn ball joints while on the alignment rack we decided to change them on the spot so they did with parts from AutoZone from across the street (Read: Cheap junky Chinese parts!) Well today I was looking at the not quite year old ball joints with maybe 1.000 miles on them and noticed the rubber grease boots are heavily cracked, nearly through at this time, so the ball joints will need replacement again.
Well onto the HID replacement. First the radiator guard, grill, and headlights get pulled

Sorry about the AD Don, both mine have been bulletproof so far. I too have had poor results with cheap HIDs. I paid the extra $$ for the genuine Phillips and have not been dissapointed to date, but I could buy 10 sets of Chinese junk for the one set of Phillips.
Am digging on the decals for the RMTWS on the CMAX.
Nate:
C-max is alive!?
