Finally, the REAL replacement!

2003 GMC Sierra SLT z71..fully loaded..BOSE stereo(rocks!)

Performance stuff that was on it: airaid cone and heatshield(I put my k&n cone on it), chubby magnaflow muffle and an ugly tip(I hacked that off and dumped it after the axle)

Got it up at Smokey Point Auto Sales from Zane. $18,680....and I came out of the insurance deal with $17,150!

The Driver Information Center(DIC) shows that whoever had it before me averaged 24mpg.

I am actually paying about 4k more after the taxes and warranty to drive a truck with similar mods(less the tranny and TC), is 4 years newer, has zero damage, and it in excellent condition and almost 50k less miles.

Thanks for the compliments! am happy that guy pulled out in front of me now!

Is it a long bed or short bed?

Good looking truck, wish I could get a new truck, but really don't have a need to get one.

I was just messing with you I think the SS's are overrated. You have to go at least 20's, buy some DR's for the stock tires to take to the track

meh, I want to sport the bling at the track, and keep the stocks for winter tires, they have brand spankin new bridgestone dueler a/t's on all 4.

And I cant find any DR's for a 20in wheel. I will need them soon enough
