My cousin just got an ext.cab shortbed 2wd with the 5.3 and it has 3.42gears.This truck hauls *** and it is bone stock.My question is what will these 2wd ext.cab shortbed trucks with the 5.3 run in the 1/4mile bone stock?I know alot of you guys have ran yalls when it was stock and have truck just like this.I am very curious.We are goin to run it and see what it will do in a few weeks.
Later guys

 

well if you run it in Tucson, AZ.. expect a disappointing 16.4.... thank you altitude!...

everyones truck runs like **** here... its embarassing.

 

16.4?That sucks,I would think it would at least run a 15.5 or so.It sure as hell feels like it.

 

when i had my 96 impala ss w/ magnaflow catback and RAM air, it only ran 15.5 here... and i ran faster than the other impala's in Tucson!

 

Mid to low 15's are not out of the question with some weight reduction and a good track.

 

Yeah I figured it could run mid to low 15's woth out much trouble.
Thanks guys for the help.Any one elses input would be great also.

 

15.4 @ 87 mph, bone stock. had a little less than 200 miles on the odometer.

 

wait a minute guys, i know i am not an expert on track times, but this is an EXTENDED CAB w/ 3.42 gears, STOCK. i was figuring low 16's. mine with all it's mods, was running a 15.5. how can this be running the same time. i know i have 4WD but that doesn't make up for that much weight, plus it help me get out of the hole with that YANK3000

 

Yeah but you have a 99 model,they dont quiet run like the 01's and 02's.

 

My dad has an 02 ext.cab shortbed Z71 with the 5.3 and 3.73gears.His mods are a HPP III,K&N FIPK,thorttlebody spacer,and borla exhaust.My cousins 02 ext.cab shortbed 2wd with the 5.3 and 3.42s stock feels a little bit faster than my dads does.I dont know,but maybe the Z71 weighs alot more than I think.
