Re: Hatzies 2005 2500HD

I'm enjoying this thread. Thanks for posting.

I just bought an '03 2500HD 8.1L/Allison 1000 in July with 185k miles. I'm going through it, much like you. I got rid of the aftermarket wheel/tires that rubbed. Got rid of the smoked taillights. Put in a double din modern stereo to replace some aftermarket pos the p.o. put in. I replaced the carpets... the old was disgusting. Cleaned the leather and washed all the seatbelts...need to do it again. Got rid of the k&n cold air intake. Fixed a broken a/c actuator motor and added a cabin air filter. etc, etc, etc

i.e. lots of little things that weren't kept up with.... and still lots of little things to do.

Fortunately, no major issues. I plan on doing some of the major maintenance recommendations in the near future as time allows. I replaced the leaking oil cooler lines and that was a pain...but couldn't have the driveway all soiled up! Just replaced the alternator and belts... And plugs/wires.

Keep posting! I'm enjoying watching. I've just no time to post it all up myself!
