New OBM Silverado 1500 from Illinois.

[JayBentBadger]

Hey guys been using the site regularly for a few years. I had an 03 Silverado 1500 5.3 4x4 before my new baby. She is a 17 Ocean Blue Metallic LT Z71 with a 5.3 similar to my old one but this one is much much nicer! I have already started modding the truck because it's just in my genes! I have a highly modified Camaro also so no shocker. But yeah this truck is pretty nice. I would have liked to had a 6.2 but I can do just fine with the 5.3. I have already added Borla ATAK cat back, Volant CAI, Elite Engineering Catch Can and clean side separator. I purchased a 6" BDS Lift, 4.10 gears, 20x12 Rockstar 3 splits and 35" Cooper STT Pro's that will be going on soon. I also purchased the Katzkin leather since it came with cloth. I couldn't pass the kit up for a killer deal. Beats paying the dealer a small fortune for the same thing. I will probably be doing some other performance mods as time goes on. I know I want coilovers and better UCA's soon too thats up there on the list. Maybe some FI if I feel inclined. This is the day I picked her up.

Does any of these mods void the warranty or you just don't care about going back to the dealer? Nice truck though, I'd give a kidney!!!

Possibly I guess if it's related to the issue that's wrong with the truck. I really don't worry about it. I'm the type that wants to enjoy it now the way I want it!

 

Love your truck!

Thanks!
