Need opinions on what I should do with this thing

Picked up this 08 6.6L Duramax with 345000 miles for $500
Has a banks air intake and I believe a tune as well
It seems to run pretty well and has zero blow by

The issue is it most likely needs a rear differential or axle/bearing

The previous owners never had it fully diagnosed
Currently it grinds at speeds up to 40 and also gets worse when braking

Overall it could be axle, diff, brake system, etc…

How much is too much to spend on repairs for something like this? Or should I not put any money into it and sell it as is

I don’t want to sell it currently

Lowering c15

Recently bought my new project truck and I’m ready to bring her closer to earth! On level ground it’s currently sitting completely level and I’m trying to keep it that way just 3-4 inches lower. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to achieve my goal? Every kit I see is a staggered front to rear and don’t want to have it stink bugging.

Rim options and opinions

Just picked up this 2010 LT and looking at the following 3 rim options becuase they are in my budget. looking for opinions on colour…don’t think full black is ill work well. I’ve found a few with silver and black that might work but hard to visualize..The colour of the truck is making it a little difficult and I’m just not sure how the black combo will work? Opinions welcome and anyone who has this colour of truck if you have images of what you have done rim wise please share.

Updated images

Ok so I got AI to generate but you get the idea…thoughts?

The one image that’s has the 2 image ontop of each other the bottom rims aren’t an option it just didn’t do a good job of rendering what I was asking.

2007 Chevy Silverado LTZ

I bought this about 3 years ago. Does anyone know anything about these trucks with the Southern Comfort kits? 3rd pic is how I bought it and 4th pic is an avalanche similar to mine.

Saw this walking into the movies. Although he can’t park it I do like the wheel and tire setup! 😂

The c1500 is gone got my hands on a unicorn

A 94 3500 4 door long bed true 1 ton with a big block 454 and 4l80e

Sold the black and blue c1500 and bought this someone put a stupid FItech tuning system in it and carburetor instead if leaving the fuel injection alone will be fixing that eliminating the tuning system and fuel pump switches and going back to turn key ignition but good look finding one in this condition for 3300 ever again

Need help identifying K219 LCM connector

Building an auto-foglight harness to keep fogs on with high beams. Need to identify the pink 8-position connector that plugs into the K219 Lighting Control Module so I can do this properly instead of tapping wires.

Part numbers 33382115 and 35392286 keep getting referenced but don't turn up anything in parts catalogs. FindPigtails couldn't identify it either.

Can anyone help identify these connectors?

Is it possible?

Can I get 500 horsepower out of the 5.7L 350? I have a pretty stock 1997 K1500 with the only thing currently modified is the exhaust post cats. I'm getting the transmission rebuilt and upgraded this weekend to handle more power. I was thinking about LS swapping it but if I can get the power out of the current engine I'd rather do that. Has anyone done this or know if it's possible? Thanks for any and all advice.
