Default Sept 2010 TOTM D_reks{5.3}

D_reks{5.3}
First off I just want to say thanks to everyone on the site for all the great info, And especially to these guys for giving me extra info, Lee(SLO XCAB), John(Mangled03GMC), Corey(BlackGMC), Scott(00chevyScott), Parker(Parke10) And Jim and Pedro at Cal Speed and performance for doing my tuning and work.

Well It all started back in 2007 when I drove my friends Grandpas 2000 RCSB sierra with 4.11s, It just blew the tires off and felt so fast. Thats when I decided I wanted a single cab GM truck. On Christmas Eve 2007 I got my first truck. 2005 RCSB 5.3, 3.23s and all stock performance down to the paper filter and stock muffler. Then I was referred to this site by another member and that was all she wrote..

When I first Picked her up.





I Graduated high school in 2008 and working a part-time job i started Slowly doing some different cosmetic and performance changes.




November 2008 my truck was stolen while I was Christmas shopping at best buy. Cops found it a hour later in a near by town partially stripped. It was one of the worst feelings ive ever felt, It felt like I was violated. So after insurance covered and fixed everything here is how she sat..




And this is how she sits today
