Under the Hood
The @bandmracing_official is an awesome differential cover. Cast aluminum with fins to dissipate heat and adds rigidity. Don`t overfill to the fill port, read the instructions.
The bearing cap bolts are a nice touch like @taperformance design. Also both have a curve internally so fluid can sling correctly and not aerate the fluid creating more hear. @bankspower proved that flat back differential covers make things worse.
You will have to get longer M8 thread factory style bolts as the provided Allen head bolts won`t allow you to mount the brake lines. Also made a bracket for the breather and parking brake cable using stainless clamps to hold in piece.
@Youtube video coming soon!

Thanks to @lyonsautocraft and @lifewithapeperoni for making this swap a complete success.
My truck originally came with a simple durable 4.8L V8 but I blew up the 4 speed. Blake said we could convert it to a 6 speed. Did some custom wiring and the guys put in the 6L80E behind the little 4.8L, programmed and returned the shift pattern strategy and got rid of the dumb partial lock up on the torque converter and we upgraded a few parts. @lifewithapeperoni worked his magic with some custom exhaust work. I got the truck back and put brackets and stainless clamps to hold the wiring and custom cooling lines in place.
What you get is a truck that is simple and works really well. The gauge cluster swap from Southridge Gauge Fix works and the 4X4 indicator all works. Small details but huge for user interaction.

I didn`t do the whole sound system, just updating the head unit to @pioneercaraudio to give better audio processing and wireless Android Auto and CarPlay and installed a backup camera.
I love full basic setups like this. You hear and experience music more, the way the artist intended.

Some people ask why our doors are tall. We spec`d the doors to be .5` taller than legal driving height. This makes the shop feel open when both doors are open all the way and if you want to pull in a crane truck or dump truck you don`t really have to worry or think.
I worked at a place that didn`t factor this in and a lot of work had to be done in the sun or rain due to a simple oversight that is too costly to correct.

@gmparts_acdelco makes a performance brake rotor for towing and severe duty applications. The diameter is the same as stock but the metallurgy is significantly different with a higher carbon content.
These rotors handle heat way better and grab awesome with @akebono_aftermarket pads. We get these parts @lordcoparts which is nice because there`s no specialty parts used for a brake upgrade.

My favourite way to upgrade brakes is to just put bigger replacement parts from another vehicle or trim level. Our 300S is a 6 cylinder so it has an upgraded suspension but small brakes and 20" wheels.
Ordered the @gmparts_acdelco 14.5" big brake police rotors, Geotech calipers with @akebono_aftermarket pads from @lordcoparts
We got almost 2 inches bigger on diameter, and a rotor with a high carbon content. You get overkill front brakes at a reasonable price and they`re easy to bleed and service. And they look great with the factory 20" wheel.
Video coming soon!

New car prices are ridiculous right now. And most people are finding out when their vehicle reaches 5 years old, manufacturers stop supporting/ updating the tech. Instead they want you to buy another vehicle.
I`ve seen a rise in demand for head unit upgrades, but you have to be able to integrate with factory features like steering wheel controls and factory back up cameras and sensors amd provide reliable phone connection like Android Auto / CarPlay.
I like using brands like @kenwoodcaraudiocanada @pioneercaraudio @idatalinkmaestro @metraelectronics and PAC Audio to deliver seamless integration and reliable performance.

Client brought their AMG GTS for simple lighting upgrade. Got to drive it and it shows how enjoyable a dialed in chassis with 500HP shows you can have a fun and sophisticated car and moves efficiently.
I like cars like this because they`re classy and don`t look for attention. And it`s usable power, no drama. Just smooth and quick.
