2 questions, I'll place them here because I don't see a general area that would be more appropriate, sorry if its in the wrong spot.
1. What is the difference between GMC and Chevy besides the front end? Are there options GMC offers that Chevy doesn't or vice versa?

2. Does the GMC moonroof come with the same cheap window shade cover the Chevy does, or can you get a regular cover like the Yukon has?

Thanks again for helping me out, I should be buying soon.

Im going to move this to "Exterior"...

1. theyre identical. Both come down the same assembly line. Only difference is the front clip and grille, the driver side airbag cover (one says GMC, the other has a bowtie:) ), and the tail lights.

2. Same answer as above, everything from the front fenders back is 100% identical.

technically Chevy trucks are actually just GMC's with the RPO "X88". X88 denotes the "Chevrolet conversion package"

Everyone knows GMC's look better than the Chevys. GMC's are a real truck. As I have said before and I'm sure this wont be the last time:

Any poor old dirt farmer can drive a Chevrolet.

It takes a gentleman of honor and distinction to drive a GMC....

Ummm Execuse me but Chevy's are the one's with the bowtie on the grill indicating a gentleman of honor and distinction.
Wht's GMC got on the grill ? Oh ya the intials GMC so the driver can get out and look at the grill to remember what kind of chariot he's driving :p:

Now with that said.....

I actually like the look of the GMC better than the chevy and I decided on buying the chevy instead. The problem I had with the 05 GMC was the bumper. I have seen quite a few trucks esp in my area with the paint all messed up because of rocks, etc. The chevy just has the gray plastic. Also all these new bumpers rust quick, but on the GMC you can see where the water, salt sits in the middle and starts surface rust that is visable.

When I bought my truck the dealer was both a chevy and gmc dealer and he had identical trucks. Just based my decision off what I thought would look better in the long run.

I went from a 2003 GMC to a 2006 Chevy (exactly the same options plus the 2006 has the sunroof) Why from GMC to Chevy? The local GMC dealers did'nt want to deal and got a $7,000 better deal from the Chevy dealer. I prefer the GMC front end but to me it's not worth $7,000! Goes to show how much profit dealers make.

As I told more than one Chevy dealer: The next one's a GMC because Chevy ruined their best body style since '72 with those slant-eyed headlights. More than one Chevy dealer has agreed with me on that. '03 and newer Chevys are U-u-u-g-g-ly! I backed up my words as I sold my '01 Chevy and am picking up the '06 GMC on Friday.

When a GMC fails final inspection, they pull off the body and cab, then put the rolling chassis on the Chevy line.

I like the GMC front clip better, too, but the dealer wouldn't work with me. Chevy dealer gave me a $36,500 out-the-door price on the truck in my sig. Couldn't leave it on the lot at that o\price. At least they went with the Powerdome hood on the Chevies. Sure improved the look IMO.

IMO fog lights look good but maybe a bit more rectangular and less square because at their size looks too small for the bumper unless they were more rectangular.

This is sad, I am actually trying to decide which to buy right now. I told both that I was looking at the other and spent the day driving the chevy. Blown away is an understatement! This truck is the whole picnic!

I guess it is going to come down to interior color. The chevy is gray/grey and the GMC is tan. I guess the gmc does have pwr seat and the chevy doesn't.

Anyway, good to be in a position where I can decide. I can't wait to hook up to the 5er and hit the road.

CHEVROLET:

Can Hear Every Valve Rap On Long Extended Trips
Cheap, Hardly Efficient, Virtually Runs On Luck Every Time
Cracked Heads, Every Valve Rattles, Oil Leaks Every Time
Constantly Having Every Vehicle Recalled Over Lousy Engineering Techniques
Condition Hopeless, Entire Vehicle Relies On Leftover Engine Technology


GMC:

Garage Man's Companion
Get More Chicks
Great Mountain Climber
Great Motor Car

One of the benefits pf a GMC is to "Get More Chicks"? It must not work that good or this thread would never have gotten started! Or he would have said: hey I don't need any help, I drive a GMC. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=77859

SteelMastiff, this is really cool! what software are you using?

I like the black grille and bumper, but take back those "bewitched" eyes and give me back the original "Professional Grade" look. :ro)

Get rid of the front license plate bracket while you're at it - Not needed where I come from. Much cleaner look. :)

Here you go!!!

I had to choose between the Chevy and GMC--didn't like the slant eyes on the Chevy but liked the Chevy grill better--I ended up with the GMC because they gave me more money on the trade-in. Money talks . . .

bigbud450
05-06-2006, 12:21 PM
yes, the scoops gather the incoming air, directs it to the air filter via internal hood duct. My air box seals against the hood keeping air pressure against the filter. You can view the setup here:

Hey bigbud, NICE hood! :D

Did you notice any performance improvements with this hood?

Does it weigh LESS than the factory hood?

Have you had any problems with water intrusion?

Where did you buy it? How much?

-Thanks.

I had the hood on since truck was new, BM, (before mods). I'm sure there is some improvement as no engine compartment air is pulled into air box. And the front air pressure produced while moving forward should reduce the vacume created by the turbo needs.
The hood is no more heavier than factory hood; hood snaps up similiar to factory hood when opened.
As far as water intrusion, I have had no problems. The hood as drain holes where the internal hood duct make a right turn to the air box. You can see them on my pic site:
http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=4598413&uid=2339453&members=1

Here's a pic of the under side of hood:
http://pic15.picturetrail.com/VOL575/2339453/4598413/121035860.jpg
I like the look of the "power bulge" hood from the cab while driving.

The hood came on a previous truck (03 GMC) and I swapped hoods when new truck arrived. I believe they are $700+ and I've seen them in the JC Whitney flier and others carry them also. The company's name is Keystone and the hood's name is Good Hood. They have other styles and give a list of dealers who market them.

You should already have an inside hood lock. ;)

A couple more questions:
Any problems with intake air being too cold in the winter?
Is there a way to manually shut off the cold air?
Any problems with snow getting sucked in?Thanks.

4. Have to start a another thread for overheaded duramax owner!

I haven't noticed any. Driven when it's been -15+.
Is there a way to manually shut off the cold air?

Yes, I can open the side of my air box and draw air from the wheel well.
Any problems with snow getting sucked in?
Thanks.
Again, haven't had any problems. Most of our snow is dry, little moisture. If it is heavy it probably would act more like rain and the inside drains would take care of it.
