been a member for a little while now, have had the truck for 3 years, almost 4 now with 47K miles on it.

It just a stock 2003 5.3L with a custom tune, bed rug, and tonneau cover. mods that await shipment of parts are a denali grille, projector headlights, all white turn lenses, and led third brake light. other mods when i get to them will be a 2" rear drop, led taillights and a Livernois turbo kit when they start production again. maybe even an LS6 cam too. and also some 20s later on. :driving:

 

well anyhow these are the first real pictures i have ever taken of the truck.

i might take some more when i start getting the stuff on the truck. :D

A nice color, I don't see many that color in shortbeds. Fog lights look good too.

thanks! and yeah most of the ones running around here are either extended cab or 4-door. there is 2 others like mine, on one the front end is messed up bad, but he has other mods, and the other believe it or not is a step side I happened to see not too long ago.

 

That'll be sweet with the Denali grill, I want a Denali style grill for mine. :)

yeah the grille should be shipped tomorrow (2-27-07) so we'll see what it looks like. I just hope its like the actual denali grille and not a 'hole punch' grille. looked at one of those and :jester:

 

I agree on the grill nice upgrade - Clean short wide :banghead:

thanks! and clean?!? look who's talking! yours is pretty dang nice too! :D

 

oh and btw... forgot to mention that it will also be getting a K&N CAI too. :(

well the grille and intake are now on the truck. I'll take some pictures and get them up tomorrow (3-4) or monday.

 

gotta go to work now... :flag:

 

now my dad has me thinking about using the denali 17" rims and putting some different tires on and using those instead of buying new rims. what do you guys think? it will surely be ALOT cheaper! lol

I like regular cab long beds!

 

 

Me too...I've been looking everywhere for one lately and I'm having a hard time finding a decent one.

The Denali wheels on that truck would look GREAT, in my opinion.

    • I recall paying $5.00/gallon in 2007 as well, although, different circumstances. A severe windstorm followed by a rare ice storm knocked out power in our region for days. We had a gas generator keeping the fridge cold and our furnace on power, and fuel stations either didn't have power, or didn't have gas because deliveries were delayed because of the storms. Driving around, we found one station that didn't have power but had a sandwich board set up out front. $5.00/gallon. They were hand-pumping it out of the underground tanks. I'm not sure that was legal or even advisable, but we needed it, and they had it. So we filled up. I was just out of college, just bought our house. Times were tight so $5.00 felt really outrageous. Local supermarkets couldn't keep stuff cold so they were basically giving food away. Fridge/freezer cases were literally being emptied out before the food expired. Never seen anything like it before, and until this day this event serves as the boilerplate for our winter storm prep.
    • Have you spilt anything on the console during ownership?  Water, coffee, soda, juice, etc.?   GM has been seeing contaminated console shift controls causing all sorts of issues.  Requires replacing the shift control.
    • If it's something they cannot figure out they can contact GM. They have a case open for noise in the suspension and my whistling drivers mirror they cant figure out how to fix.
    • Thing is gorgeous! Definitely been a LONG time since I've heard that sound!      I wouldn't call myself a purist, since I'll throw Wilwoods and power adders on anything. For me, that engine makes me cringe as a former shop owner remembering all I've been through with some of them. Plus I hate LS engines for their oiling system (MANY places to lose pressure from, especially on the AFM ones which I wouldn't be caught dead with), and the dowel-less front and rear covers - an engineering decision that irks me to no end! And I despise electronics with every fiber of my being.   My main reason for avoiding modern electronics is that when they fail, they typically leave you stranded. Tied for 1st place is also the fact that sometimes troubleshooting super-annoying problems can suck the life right out of you. I've wasted so many hours of my life chasing gremlins on those in all kinds of vehicles. I find carburetors and simple HEI style components much more suitable for keeping my sanity, lol. Different strokes for different folks. I probably get more hate from the younger crowd for sticking with my old school ways of thinking than you would for doing an LS swap.   When everything's working, they're certainly a ton of fun! 
    • I have an Edge Insight CTS2 in my '04 3500, and find it works well.  Only real problem I have with it is the obdii connector will work itself free over time, so it stops working and also freaks out the trucks electronics for a bit.  Remove and plug it in and it's good to go.  More recently, I've taken to zip-tying it in place which also seems to work.
