2006 Silverado SS Intimidator resurrection
10-11-2016 a little chop-chop at the muffler shop. When we got my wife's 2006 SS, her truck came with a Magnaflow muffler swapped into the factory exhaust. We keep opposite schedules since I work nights, so I didn't want her coming/going throughout the day to wake me up every time. So I got...- someotherguy

2006 Silverado SS Intimidator resurrection
05-31-2016 all back together!!! A little ironic that the worst side, the crunched passenger bedside, came out crummy in the pic thanks to cloudy skies (I tried brightening up the original a little bit.) Oh well! Truck came out GREAT! Richard- someotherguy

2006 Silverado SS Intimidator resurrection
05-13-2016 The suspense is killing me 05-17-2016 Don't want to get my hopes up without reason but I'm almost thinking I'll have my truck back by early next month. This guy is really kicking ass so I haven't bugged him one bit or asked for any kind of schedule. In the past I've had a truck...- someotherguy

2006 Silverado SS Intimidator resurrection
09-22-2015 A quickie wash only to find it's covered in a fine mist of overspray; looks like primer. I guess I can thank our bodyshop for that gift. Oh well; still looks fairly good from this side. 10-20-2015 New shoes! I was planning on putting off install until after the body shop...- someotherguy

2006 Silverado SS Intimidator resurrection
09-20-2015 Oh, and those tires in the background are a set of new Toyo Proxes ST2 265/40/22's - meant for the wheels you can also see next to the truck. Those are a set of GM "Transport" 22's that are all steel smoothies. They're meant just for transport of new high-end pickups, Escalades...- someotherguy

2006 Silverado SS Intimidator resurrection
09-08-2015 My dad offered to have his guys do the bodywork, but that means a trip out of state. I have faith his guys do good quality work, it's just a hassle to get the truck there. Seriously considering it though, so I start tending to the things the truck needs to make the trip...- someotherguy

2006 Silverado SS Intimidator resurrection
08-18-2015 decided to try out the body shop that belongs to the company I work for. Was told I'd get the employee price, special treatment, blah blah blah. Explained to the guy I had already found sources for all the parts including the SS-specific items, just needed someone to do a good job...- someotherguy

2006 Silverado SS Intimidator resurrection
I started this thread over on Chevytalk and the Silverado SS forums (which have now all but gone to sleep..) so let's wake up GMT800 forums with some historical, and current posts, about my 2006 Intimidator? Why not.. I may try to squeeze in some pics/details I left out of the original posts...- someotherguy

2004 K2500HD Headlights choices
I would absolutely not spend the money on GM. The "GM Genuine" housings I bought for my 2006 (at $160+/ea), are made in China junk. The first time I tried to adjust the driver side, the adjustment screw shattered. With some difficulty I managed to get the dealer to warranty it. The clearcoat...- someotherguy

Recovering seat and need help with seat warmer
The heating element is on top of the foam, directly under the cover. I just posted a series of lower cover replacement pics in another thread here, but here's one pic showing the heater. The burnt spots are because it's bad. Richard- someotherguy

Need a new cushion and cover
I know this is an older post - but did you ever get a cover and foam cushion for your seat? A while back I got a gray/pewter leather cover for my 2006 SS - from a place here in Houston, but they list their items on ebay. About half the price of the Seat Shop but the quality seems to be very...- someotherguy

Looks like I've been in the wrong forum
Welcome from 2 years in the future ;) Depends on what actual model your truck is. A manufacture date of 12/99 has two possibilities. It could still be a GMT400, or a GMT800 - because both were available at the time. What ya got? :) Richard- someotherguy
