Next Phase
New member
Hello All,
Just getting started with my project. Doing research, collecting parts... and wanted to document it here.
Purchased the truck earlier this year from a member here in SC with 36k miles. (Already swapped the battery and alternator.) Goal for the truck is making it a reliable street / strip truck that will also see yard work (mulch and trips to Home Depot).
Plans so far are to address the brakes, suspension, wheels / tires, paint, cladding and last step will be a boosted LS3 and keeping AWD. Have thoughts about swapping it to a manual 6 speed. Last step may be updating the interior, but that won't be anytime soon.
Look forward to sharing the progress and I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions going through the upgrades.
