Rear Disc Brake Upgrade (http://www.thedieselpage.com/features/swangerdiscbrakes.htm)
for the Early GM Diesel Trucks
The 6.2L diesel equipped trucks and SUV's were all equipped with rear drum brakes. Upgrading to rear discs help in two important areas - reduce unsprung weight and improve stopping ability. Demands on the braking system increase as loads or vehicle speeds increase, and stopping can sometimes be more important than going fast.
2006 Mirror Upgrade (http://www.thedieselpage.com/members/features/06mirrorupgrade.htm)
Easy upgrade to GM's 2006 Mirrors
I recently upgraded the stock mirrors on my 2005 GMC 2500HD to the 2006 model trailer towing mirrors. Although the stock mirrors extended for trailer towing, I was not happy with the narrow field of view the stock mirrors provided. For the 2006 model year, GM released a new style extendable towing mirror, similar to the Ford SD towing mirrors. Go here for a photo illustrated step by step guide to installation.

Variable Time-Delay Glow Plug Controller (http://www.thedieselpage.com/members/features/timedelayglowrelay.htm)
for the 1982-2000 6.2/6.5 GM Diesel Trucks
A variable timer allows you to power the glow plugs automatically, or for as long as the switch is held in the momentary-ON position. Adjustability is a key feature - longer glow times can be dialed-in during the winter months, and then reduced once warmer temperatures arrive - simple to install and easy to use.
