[McRat]

Got the call, Big Blue has Arrived!

I'll post pics soon! But I probably won't actually take delivery until Monday due to another discount that kicks in.

:fluffy:

[BigKID]

Congratulations! I guess they are putting on the exhaust, chip and propane before you take delivery, huh? :D

[McRat]

SHHHH!!!! ;)

[Tiburon]

Is this a HD you will buying?

[McRat]

GMC 3500 Duramax SRW. Will be one of the first SRW's in California.

[567234ta]

wow thats awesome,congrats!! what does gas cost in CA?

[McRat]

$1.99 for regular right now. $1.95 for #2 Diesel.

[WTFBEES]

By Big Blue, I'm assuming you went with the Arrival Blue Metatalic. Good choice on the color. I went with the same. :D

[ShiftinS6]

<------ Another arrival blue truck guy. :)

[00tyty00]

Congrats McRat, I'm sure you'll love that new power jump the Duramax has:D . I almost stroked out at the price of diesel at the pump the other day-the Shell was charging $2.05, so I headed down to Chevron, they had #2 for $1.99:mad:

Damm I wish I saw that in my driveway. I'm jealous.

[567234ta]

Awesome!!! man that truck is huge:eek:

[QWIKLS1]

A buddy of mine from reserves bought one of those a few months back. I haven't ridden in it, but it sure doesn't sound like a diesel from the outside. :hitit:

Amazing motor! Nice truck, Pat.. :thumbup:

that's awesome

[RECOGNZ]

I'm not trying to hate on it at all, but don't the wheels/tires look small?

[01Thunder]

hey you wouldn't happen to like blue would you?:D :D
those our two real nice vehicles. wish i could afford atleast one:)

[ANIDOTE 00]

If this is your first Duramax you'll love it! :D we have one and wouldn't have anything else! Is that the new LLY Duramax w/ 590 lbs. of torque? That truck is freakin LONG, that SRW 1 Ton should be nice. CONGRATES :thumbup:

[McRat]

Yep, Yep, and Yep.

The tires are 265/75-16's but the size of the truck makes them look tiny. I'll have to start shopping.

The "Electron Blue/Marine Blue" is a sweet color so we now have matching vehicles. Hence the "Big Blue" name. But I can't call the vette "Little Blue", it just wouldn't be right. ;)

The LLY is rated at 310HP/590TQ, but I haven't dyno'd it yet.
It "de-fuels" first and fifth gear to save the trans from the added torque back down to the LB7's 520ftlbs. But from 20-60mph it really moves for a big truck.

Now we are talkin'... I was thinking at least 305 /75/16... I guess there are weight and strength ratings for that size beast, but with some more meats you can't go wrong... think more bite and stronger pulls :drive:

[onyx silverado]

damn.. that looks good!

[Mike]

Nice Ride:D

You're gonna be limited on the size of tire, I put the 285/75/16s on mine with new 16x8 American Racing Atlas wheels and had to crank the torsion bars and trim the front valance to stop the rubbing while turning.
