3 months of neglect...

[Paulvr4]

Excellent work,

I wish I had a truck. hmmm. I don't think I need a fourth car

[Xtreme99_s-Dime]

Yeah, I think that the LED shot is my favorite too. Although I like the reflection in the tailgate as well.

To answer your question, it is the 4.3L V-6. Not super fast, but it's deffinately fun to drive.

I was lucky not to get orange peel really bad on this truck, but the drivers door was reapinted before I bought the truck and I think it looks a little dull.

Still a great truck to have.... She's my baby for now.

Talk to you all later,

Stephen

That's the engine I have and I love it. I have a lot of fun with it, although the things I do probably aren't so good for my mpg and tires Right now I'm trying to find a cold air intake for it. I'm not sure what kind to get though. Do you have one on your truck by any chance that you would recommend?

[Xtreme99_s-Dime]

I've done my homework on this one, and if you're going to get ANY cold air intake, make sure it's the K&N FIPK II. Its the only one that comes with a heat shield, and the tuned intake tube.

I don't have one because of the price....$260.

But if you do get one, it should be the K&N

[Lydia]

Oh ok. The one I was considering is a AEM Brute Force. But I will certainly look into the K&N. They are very similar in price; the AEM is $250. So if the K&N is better then I don't mind spending an extra $10 lol. If I get either one I will tell you how well it works etc. if you want me too.

Heh heh sorry I didn't mean to "steal" your thread.

Edit: I just looked at AEM Brute Force again and it has a heat shield too.

if its a true cold air kit you really wouldnt need the heat shield and for $250 and the gain you get (unless you have some decent internal work done) like 4-5hp its not really worth the price....an underdrive pulley would be around the same price maybe cheaper and net you more hp and your engine wont be working as hard

nice truck! mine has been neglected like that too but for around 6 months hopefully i can get it the same way

Hmm I've never heard of that. What is it?

[derekxec]

an underdrive pulley?

you can get them for alternators (an overdrive pulley is also available for the alt.) and to replace your crank pulley

its a pulley that is smaller than the one that comes stock it underdrives your accessories making thier pulleys turn slower(not a good idea to get a underdrive crank pulley if you have a very high powered stereo system unless you get an overdrive pulley for your alterator or you runs caps or something)

with less drag from turning the accessories fast you free up Horse Power and make your motor work easier
