So first off I am glad that I bout this truck, my main reason was just because of how big and clean it was, the miles scared me a little at first but I've come to learn they're okay!
I bought my first truck (with parents help) in august 2011 i believe, it was a 2005 extended cab Silverado 1500, 5.3l on 33's and man it when through anything a 16 year old could want.
Eventually i sold it made a little profit, but i wanted bigger, at the time my dad was against getting a diesel because of prices and he couldn't fathom it getting better mileage than my truck,
In august 2012 I ended up buying a 2002 F250 V-10 4x4 Long bed Lariat, and my first decision as a now 17year old was to remove the cats and muffler lol. That bitch was so loud, and god i loved it. But after driving from denton to fort worth multiple times a week i realized my 12mph highway wasn't going to be good for college lol
So that summer I sold that truck too
Again in August, I think I'm seeing a pattern…, I finally had found myself a truck, A 2003 Silverado 2500HD Crew Cab 6.6l Lb7
Man has this truck been good to me, all my long travels from lubbock to dallas every other weekend, this truck was amazing through all of it.
So far the only thing I've done to it is maintenance and i cut the muffler off and straight piped it, 3.5 inch. I also have a new Kenwood DDX470 for it, but haven't installed it yet. I'd love to get subs but can't find any 12's that'll fit, and the last ones i had i just got off a kid and set them on the back seat :roflmao:
Well I transferred from Texas Tech and am now at TCU, going the Pre-med track, I try to work when I can, but college and wanting to spend money on my truck don't coincide to well.
So that's the basics of me, what i really want to know is what I should be doing to it next,
Obviously theres lot i'd love, but I'm not sure what to get brand wise for any of it and well you know I'm just a kid with big ambitions and no knowledge
So I'd love to get a real straight pipe for it, 4 or 5 inch
Lift kit would be good, or any combination of lift and fenders and things,
I want to fit 37's or 38's
I really like the rims i have but they're factory so I'm not sure if id need new ones or not.
I want to buy some tow mirrors, but thats just for looks, i do pretty well with my normal mirrors when i take trailers out
Replacement bumpers would be nice to have but again they're expensive
As to the engine, I'm honestly not sure what to do, the injectors were replaced at 180,000 miles, the truck was one owner an older man who took pretty good care of it from what I've seen.
I'd like to get a programmer, for mileage and the fun speeding, but i really don't know much about them.
For any of these things I really just need to know what should come first and how I should prioritize these things when saving up or buying?
And any information on programmers, lift, exhaust just anything would be nice, Id love to learn all I can, and I know y'all have plenty of information and experience to offer!
