8.1 Silverado HD with new mods

tbyrne · June 11, 2003

I finished a bunch of new mods yesterday. They include 18x10 American Eagle 102 wheels wrapped with 325/60/18 Nitto TerraGrappler tires, polished driveshaft and tailpipe, PIAA Airdam with billet griils and 40 series driving lights, polished ProComp skid plate, Flex-a-lite electric fans, ported throttlebody and a Poweraid throttlebody spacer. The truck changed quite a bit visually and is more responsive with the horsepower mods. And to top it all off gas mileage went from 8.5-9 to 11. Some of those mileage mods do work

I'll be pulling off all of the decals, emblems and pinstrips next week and also replacing the factory cloth seats and door panels with leather. The final performance mod (for now) may be a set of ported heads. Still checking into that one.

I've included some pics below -

A touch of bling bling there, but the truck also screams out, "I will kick your a$$"

I went to back out of my driveway yesterday and my 4 year old daughter said "Daddy, don't run over Mommy's car!"

Haha, outstanding. I had a friend who was backing his 96 Acura Integra out of the drive and had some mishap with the clutch/manual tranny and ended up rolling back into the front of my 92 Jimmy(s15 size)...needless to say, the Jimmy didn't move
