Who's This Guy?

What's up, ladies and gentlemen?

Had a subscriber of mine from YouTube tell me to get my poop in a group and come over here and try to make a name for myself on this forum. So, here I am.

My name is Shane. Currently own and daily drive a 2014 Silverado LT Z71 Double Cab. Has the 5.3L under the hood. This was my first brand new vehicle I ever bought (21 miles on the odometer when I left the dealership) and going on my 3rd full year of ownership of the truck and I'm still extremely happy with it.

It wasn't until this year I finally decided I wanted to have fun with it after babying it through a lot of its life. I feared I'd never get anything like a Camaro or Corvette any time soon. So, why not play around with the next best thing?
So far, I've installed an Elite Engineering catch can, Corsa Sport cat-back exhaust, AFe cold air intake, and just recently put a Diablosport Trinity in the truck and I'm just running around on the canned tune until I get done filming a video for YouTube on what it's like on the canned tune and AFM vs. Non-AFM since I've not seen many videos on this. My plan is to get a DiabLew tune to get me by this winter, and come March or so, I'll get more serious about the tune and additional upgrades such as: L86 intake/LT1 throttle body swap, headers, suspension mods, wheels and tires, and possibly looking into the next stage which would be going more internal and doing a DOD/AFM delete, cam, and possibly heads.

That's kind of the idea for now with the truck still being my daily driver. When I get something to replace it in daily service, then I'll start going much further.

So, that's a quick wrap about the truck. To tell you about me, I'm a pretty simple guy. 25-years-old, live in Indiana, work at an automotive manufacturer, love cars/trucks/anything with an engine and/or wheels honestly, and I've been attempting to run a YouTube channel for the last few months now and I honestly enjoy doing it. Granted some people like some videos of mine compared to others, but to each their own and to each their own on the opinions I have in my videos. So, it is what it is. I'm just trying to have fun, that's all.

So, anyways, that's all I have. Glad to be here and if anyone can direct me to a section of the forum I can post the build statuses on this truck, please feel free to do so. Any guidance is better than no guidance.

About time! Welcome sir, and glad to finally have you here. This page has all the information you need, think you may need, and never thought you would need.

Here is a page where you can start your build thread, and a good thread to post your videos to.

Yeah, I know. I'm slow about everything. This is also the case when you're also working a job, looking at other vehicles/car parts you can't afford and thinking about what it'd be like to have those things. Lol.

Thanks for the direction, man. I appreciate it!
