Default Hello ladies and gents.

id like to introduce myself alittle just joined forum and just recently purchased a 2007 NNBS silverado RCSB WT. trucks got a 4.8 in it not my first choice but got the truck with 21,000 miles for 14,000$ with a additional 5 year / 50,000 mile warrenty...

truck came with the factory 20" wheels which i quickly sold for 1,500. bought a set of 22" giovanna wheels for 500 with brand new tires... rode around for a month on those and then sold them for 1,000... a week later i bought a set of 24" gino rims with BRAND NEW nexen tires for 500. so long story short i walked away WAY AHEAD which payed 6 truck payments in the first 2 months of owning .

so 3 months later im joining the site ive been staring at the whole time...

all ive done to this point is the rims and removal of the rear block in leaf springs. planning on getting some 2" drop shackles out back this weekend and go from there

Welcome to the club!
Lots of nice trucks and good advice. Become familiar with the search option cuz if u ask a redundant question that's been on here 100x's
People round here tend to get pissed.

Any idea on future performance mods?

planning on the air-raid drop in filter and the intake tube, modded my airbox already... planning on some gibson shorties and the gibson super truck exhaust if it will fit my truck? anyone know it says afm only? and i dont think my truck has afm... and the 2 inch drop shackles and maybe something to lower front about an inch if possible...

and as far as the search feature haha... i run a superbike forum so i know how that works i sometimes feel like i might need to lynch someone on my board... ask a question thats been asked more than 5 times and i boot your *** for a week haha.

on a happy note after modded airbox and some other little bs free mods i neted 22.4 mpg on two tanks thats with the 24's and mixed driving... now granted i havent had it reprogrammed for the bigger rims and tires... lol.
