Default New guy here

Hey guys, my name is Mitch I'm a Engineering college student (Junior) at Oklahoma State. I owned and operated a lawn service for 5 years in Tulsa and sold it this year due to the 1 hour commute each weekend plus distraction from school. My truck is a black 05 EC stepside Z71 w/an extensive Audio/Video setup all installed by me, lowered stance (decranked Tbars and rear block removal), and many other things (in my sig). I've been on many other forums for quite some time (mainly CTW and l13.us) ever since I had my first truck which was an 01 Z71 lifted 9in w/37s and 20s, ls6 cammed, built tranny, 4.56s... I've been reading posts on PT.net for a couple years but always felt like I lacked the engine knowledge to pitch in, now since installing this cam I feel more truck savvy Being a college student taking 18 hours I dont have much time for forums or my truck so I won't be on here all the time, but I'll be around.

Mitch, you dont need to be a mechanic or a tuning wizard to post up here, only a desire. Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to PT. I'm a college student as well... it's nice to have a hobby besides the textbooks.
