Talking My new truck


Got it 2 days ago, just now getting back to my computer to post up...
2006 V-MAX silverado.
cai, true duals, diablo sport tuner, stage 2 trans,.....
now im getting rid of the exhaust and getting LT headers, x pipe 3'' exhaust with sweet thunder mufflers, (just like my z28).
doing a 3/4 drop, thought about ordering ss wheels but these are growing on me quick, going to get ss bumpers though...gunna get a black billit grill and black out the tail lights and do 5% tint on the windows. ummmm lots more but i will post up progress pics
have not gave her a name yet, im thinking abby though lol

after i bought it i was leaving the my brothers house and a guy knocked on my door and said hey man thats my old truck! got to talking and he gave me the tuner, and everything he took off the pickup, then he told me it had the stage 2 trans, i was happy after that because i will be adding **** tons of power...
got 20mpg on the way home...not bad for a 6.0
pinstripe and steps are gone next week aswell

The running boards do need to go.


Dont do an ss bumper or roll pan. Just drop it and do go fast parts.

A 2/4 will sit level or a little high in the back. 3/4 is going to sit really high in the back.

running boards help keep it stable over 130mph. They act like wings. Keep them on.
