Default New FI for Speedy!

Well, I have been in the market for a long while and finally found exactly what I wanted. It's a 2004 GMC Sierra SLT, 2500HD with the Duramax/Allison combo...70,720 miles on the clock! Took delivery today. If I can get a brake controller and wiring harness tomorrow I will have it at Atco over the weekend! This truck is ****-Tons better than my previous truck... on with the Pictures:

Place of Purchase:


Unfortunately not My Maserati:


Hmph.. not my $400K Bentley either, this one's going to VT. Hey there's my old Silverado 1500 in the background:


Here it is:

Way to go with the downsizing trend there Todd. LOL!

Lemme guess....gas/diesel down from the top 1.50-ish/gallon = add 1,000 lbs and 12" of wheelbase to your truck.

Nice setup and good luck! Time for a 2 car trailer!

If I could use a bank for my mod money without finance charges I would.. LoL but I refuse to do that with mods so I must pay cash!

I stand corrected, the $400K car was told to me to be a Bentley by one of the workers there, It's a Rolls Royce! I wasn't paying that much attention, I was just happy to be getting my 4 door, turbo diesel truck!

A few payments would be the cost of the cage

Well you're certainly not wrong about that! It would take 3-4 payments depending on the cost of the cage!
I really want to go tens before the cage that way I know it's worth it! I've raced three days this season, about 14 passes total now and only once I have gone under 11.49 with an 11.45. I just can't justify the cage until it's a solid high ten, low low eleven second car!

On another note, I just took out about 130-170lbs. Passenger seats, fuel tank brace, some v-brace under the spare tire, skid plate. Leaving for Atco tomorrow early evening!

You got it. My other truck, 2000 Silverado 1500 LT was going to need a bunch of things to be mint again. I just didn't want to put the coin into it, then attempt to tow with it next season and need a transmission as well. So instead of doing the brakes again, new tires again, fix certain noises, go over the 4x4 (service 4x4 light kept coming on) and try to figure out three different EVAP codes could get expensive. Sure it all doesn't add up to a new truck, at least now I can put all that money into something that's worth it, not to mention won't need it for a good while!!

But yes, trailer just over a month ago and now the tow rig. I can now go to the track whenever I want without having to borrow someone's rig (my brother's) although his is badass with the big lift and such, I didn't want to be the one to have something go wrong with it while 6 hours away. His Allison tranny has been slipping occasionally on the highway from the added power mods!
