What options should I get in a new 2500 CC LMM?

Any to avoid at all costs?

i forgot to get the cab clearance lights..

Remote Start and backup sensors are pretty cool. I would suggest you get the camper mirrors, the standard mirrors just aren't big enough for me.

I can't seem to get used to the Dual Climate control gauge cluster and buttons, I miss the easy to turn and set knobs.

I purchased a 2500HD/LTZ!

It came with auto start, leather full power seats, auto windows, auto foot pedals, XM, 6 disc cd, marker lights, sporty wheels, wood grain

Sharp truck :D:ro)

:DJust check all the boxes!

We specifically went for the 40/20/40 from cloth bench seats since we sometimes take trips where we need to pack 6 adults in the truck. That front center seat isn't comfortable enough for a 6 hour trip, but an hour or so ain't bad. Also prefer cloth to leather anyway since it's cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter than leather. And in anything you drive aggressively, cloth holds you in place better.

Concur on the Remote Start. Didn't plan on it, but ours came with it already and we love it.

We weren't even planning to get XM since we like head units with well integrated iPod controls, but again the truck came with it. It mixes in nicely with the AM/FM tuner.

Definitely get limited slip.

If you tow much, the integrated trailer brake controller is nice since it varies the braking force depending on the pressure you apply.

Add another one for remote start...definitely very nice, especially on hot summer afternoons (it starts cooling down the truck) or cold winter mornings. Heated seats are nice too. I've got leather, don't know if it is an option with cloth. Definitely consider the camper mirrors. Before I bought mine I didn't like them but the truck on the lot had them. Now I'm glad I've got the larger mirrors. There are still blind spots but it would be a lot worse with the smaller mirrors.

I wouldn't really say that there's anything to avoid...a lot of it is comes down to personal preference and what are you going to be using the truck for.

Shopping list:

Tough looking GMC 2500HD, CC, 6' box 4x4 LMM

Rear locker, 17's, Intregal brake controller or top of the line Prodigy, big heated mirrors.
Remote start, bed coaing, bed mat, rear wheel wells and under door coating, mud flaps, cloth floor mats.

Split bench with special lint collector edition interior,
Then upgrade to 2 tone aftermarket leather.

No lift, no controller for at least a good 10,000 miles to establish stock performance.
Early oil/filters change, then synthetics at 10K.

Magnaflow filter back 5 inch exhaust or the double tips. Big fuel tank.
Tube steps, Fumoco valve, have dealer reset DIC TPM to sane PSI.

I am sure the list will grow........

I don't know how much you want to spend, but there is another Stampede conversion here in South Carolina. If you search for my introduction thread, you can see just what it looks like. The one they have left is Pewter in color. Let me know and I can put you in touch with the guy that sold me mine.

I have to say the STAMPEDE like 2 tone leather trim and all is what I was thinking...... That beauty belongs in TEXAS !

What's a sane tire pressure?

Less than the 60/80 front/rear GM wants us to run 24/7 regardless of load. Like 50/50 empty for best ride, wear and handling safety. What say ye?

Sounds logical... I should search to see what most do.

THE DEALER CALLED ME TODAY MY NEW 2008 3500 4X4 CC Dually D/A just came hoping to go take a look at it this weekend. Eight weeks to the day from ordering ti to delivery but i dont need it tell the new year. we will see what happens.

As far as options i got Limited slip need it for the snow plowing, cargo management, sunroof, 40/20/40 seat power drivers seat, heavy duty trailering pack, tailgate pkg., hvy duty handling, dual 124 amp alt,int brake control, wide load mirrors, carpet delete just need the vinal floor easy to clean,conv pack and some other crap now when i look at it i will see what they missed.

Well, like I said. If you are interested in one, let me know.

I opted for the rear sliding window, but after looking at it closely, its such a small window that I doubt you will be using it. If you opt for the sliding window, you will lose the rear defroster.

I recommend to NOT go with the rear sliding window.

The rest of the recommendations here above seems to be good options to have.

Best of Luck to you!
