2003 Silverado LT ECSB

[UsmcTank]

I bought this truck Sep 13th 2013 whenever i came out of west texas oil field and into the office for them. it is Arrival Blue Metallic, 5.3L V8, came with XM radio,steering wheel controls, On-Star, Bose System, and 255 70R16's.

I have hated the rims and tires since i bought the truck but they had quite a few miles left in them and no since in spending the money. so I started saving, I bought a single in single out flowmaster exhaust dumped right before the axle about a month ago, last night rolled threw Midlothian, TX and spotted a set of 17" 2005 wheels with brand new 265 75R17 Goodyear Wrangler A/T for 500 out the door.

Plans:
Debadge - Demold
3 inch lift haven't chosen brand yet. Been looking at RoughCountry
I need to get my radio fixed still. talked to AudioDepot in Arlington and it'd be 370 to hardwire a new Pioneer Radio.

Do yourself a favor and get a double din radio. Where are you from again?

 

[slicksierra]

Plans sound good but lose that flowmaster! Unless you really like it then rock on! :rock:

 

[UsmcTank]

Jared - I'm from Grandview, TX south of Burleson.
And Slick - I picked it up for $40 I'm more looking for a deeper rumble. Any suggestions?

 

[UsmcTank]

So far it's a build as I go I can't decide on a lot of things lol

 

[Jared]

gotcha

Borla XR1, certain spintechs (some are way too loud), hooker aerochamber, dynomax vt

 

[slicksierra]

If would only run an Aeroturbine, borla xr1 or a dynatech split flow in that order.

Aaron - i have had them a day man lemme look good for a little bit longer lol. and you got a point that magnaflow does sound good, i saw you cut them tips off though. does it still sound as good with it dumped over axle? and where did you get your front clip?

James Pate - So do i, when i saw it i had to have it. never been one for colored trucks but this one got me.

 

[Big Tex]

honestly, I liked it a little more when it went to the bumper, just didn't look good. And I got the hood from craigslist and the grille from another cgm member.

 

[UsmcTank]

What size exhaust tips did you use?
and I have been looking on craigslist for bought a week, found one in houston. but thats 4 hours from me. so im looking for a scrap HD.
met a guy last night with a Borla on his truck. sounded sexy. still looking though.
is there a thread that is over the 5.3?

 

[UsmcTank]

Jared - what are some good places in DFW area to get Re-Programming?

& i got the truck with 103XXX im now at 117XXX, at about 110000 a Service Brake System light popped on that would ding everytime i cranked up the truck.
Another forum had a thread saying that they had taken there truck to the Chevy House to get it Re-Calibrated for $90 anyone heard of this?
