I figured this truck deserved it’s own thread since most of my others have had their own.
I picked up a 2003 2500hd 2x4 yesterday. Bought it from the second owner who was downsizing his fleet.
Truck has 187,900 on it when I bought it. Has a k&n cold air, hacked up exhaust, power windows/ locks and is rust free.
It’s in need of a lot of love as it was used as a truck for some of its life. It’s besn played with before I can tell. Hole for a stack in the bed, hole in the pillar for gauges. But doesn’t push coolant and shifts great.
The guy I got it from put injectors in it at 150k, used sac injectors in stock size from dan Someone. Which I question because I’m not sure you can even get stock size sac injectors right now much less a year ago. And it runs pretty healthy for a “stock” truck. I assume it has a small tune and 30% injectors. It smokes pretty good under accell but does not run as hard as it smokes if that makes sense.
I don’t really have any “performance” plans as of right now, but that’s always on the table. A built trans and a 369 would be a lot of fun in this truck.
As of right now the main plan is just to clean it up and start fresh.
It’s been lowered then raised, so I’m going to figure out all of that and get it back low.
I’ve got a full front end upgrade in the works for it.
Maybe a short bed
Wheels and tires
and put the damn flip up console back in it if I can find one!
