Everything but Onstar, XM and the factory trailer hitch. Now come the mods. Not sure if I want to play with a programmer yet. The DP guys are giving me bad ideas.

Dan, nice ride. . .

Is that the sport red? or fire red?

Any reason you decided not to get the new camper mirrors?

I am 2-weeks out from getting a Duramax and considering Deep Blue Metallic or that Red

that would be Fire Red.

The Dark Blue is too much like black to care for...I considered it also, but remembered my last DARK color vehicle, a Firebird Formula.

It was back in 1989.... for a reason.

Hey HP,
Rip is correct, it is Fire Red. I'll have a few new pictures to post next week after I get rid of all the rough black plastic on the truck.

I use the truck as an everyday driver and have to park in tight parking spots. If the truck was just for towing I would have bought the camper mirrors.

The deep blue metallic is a sharp color. I'm sure it's hard to keep clean. I am surprised at how bad the Red shows dirt compared to my 01 Pewter. That truck always looked clean. I wanted Red to match the boat and that's what matters most.

ditto, except it was an '02 GMC 496 w/Westers tune, it ran good on '93 (lots of it) but, pinged on cheap fuel or up grades w/a load

dieselplace.com

do a search in "do it yourself"

The panels are cake

pry off the lock and door handle bezels from the door panel
hanger screw you'll see in the lock slider hole (some)
screw tucked in top forward corner if armrest (all)
push dart on the front edge
beauty cap (pry off) over screw on the back edge
screw in the bottom (under)

the panel has plastic L-shaped "stands" that go in slots in the bottom of the inner sheet metal. Once the panel lays back a little you'll see them. Don't break 'em off!

door panel comes up (a little) out and up to remove.

the switch connections aren't bad other than the one that has a fold over lock bar...it's blue I think...

oh, and front doors have the courtesy lights...the bulb will invariably fall out of the socket and into the lens...not to worry...shake it out when the panel is free

back doors are similar with fewer fasteners...

Hope this helps
do speakers while you're there.

Just bought a 06 GMC CC Duramax LBZ with the whole nine yards. WOW what a great truck. Puts my 02 F250 PSD to shame. Everything about this truck is much, much better. Looking to do some minor upgrades when I get a chance.
