Default finally got my Z-71....

i've been wanting a Z-71 for a long while now and i finally found one that i wanted... its a 2003 Sierra Z-71 with 68,000 on the clock... couldn't pass it up...

it's bone stock right now but plans are to level the front end out... some 33's and color match the truck... LS1 fans and a tune...

took a few quick pics...

Nice looking truck man. Lift it!

BTW I wouldn't waste your money on efans. I've never seen/felt any difference from them, and they always run hotter then a clutch fan.

thanks guys...

well i'm getting the truck tuned so i'm gonna go ahead and have Justin set it up for them because i can't stand the sound of a winding clutch fan... it drives me nuts... and the e-fans on my single cab i saw a difference in them and never had any problems with 'em running hotter than the clutch fan..

Well I wouldnt count the fans out alltogether....I'd do the 05+ efans before the LS1 fans, those newer ones are almost twice the size of the ls1 fans.

And its nice not to have the extra drag on the motor and I hate that clutch fan sound when it is hot out. My tuner turned mine on for me so when I get some I wont have to have it retuned. I can find ls1 fans all day but the 05's are rarer and more expensive...
