Hey I know... another frigin' newby.
I have a 2000 GMC 2500HD 4X4 with a 6.0L that I've been thinking of moding like my previous 5.7L.
If anyone has suggestions, other than the usual newby ones, that would be helpful.
This truck is bone stock except for iridium plugs, synthetic motor oil w/ Lucas. Unfortunately the truck is already at the 128K+ mile mark.
Previous truck, '93 GMC 2500 4X4, K&N's, engine chip, custom cold air tube, full dual Flowmasters, no cats, 3.73 lockers front and rear, thompson wires, iridium plugs, synthetic fluids. Absolutely solid package but more expensive than I would like for the newer truck motor.
I'm capable enough for fabrication and engine rebuilding but no where near experienced enough with the LS1's to begin to think I'm smrt... I mean smart.

Jake

None on digital. Not much to it. Burgandy stock 4X4. Drk. grey interior.
I have some changes done. Pretty standard stuff. Modified diamond plate bed rails, soft bed cover, decent sleeper sound system.
I'll try to get some at work and post them.
