It's like I told them, my truck is fine this was purely a "want" and not a "need" so I refused to increase my interest rate and increase my monthly payment. So...back to the mods planned on my truck!
Sounds like a good decision.

They are very nice trucks, the only problem was, it was a 5.3. Not saying that the 5.3 is not a good motor, because it is. Its just that, I've always wanted a 6.0 in my truck because you can do alot more to it. Its a great truck to have. You have to weight your decision. Think of the pro's and con's before you buy it. It starts with what you do for a living what the SS will be used for. If its a daily driver, which is what mine is, then think hard about what YOU will be doing with it. I sometimes regret getting mine, because I'm a commerical superintendent, so I'm in the dirt alot. But I try to keep it in the parking lot as much as I can. You couldn't tell from the pics though, cuz I love my SS and always keep it clean. My wife says that I love my truck more than her sometimes. The SS is the caddy of the chevy's and you must treat it with respect, and it's also a speciality of the trucks. But the truck is also made to run hard when you want to. The 03' has the option of having the AWD to which is great for launching, but you really can't do a burn out, plus its heavier than the 2wd. Just putting an exhaust and CAI will open up that 6.0 power. I get alot of looks and comments when I'm driving it. But don't think for a minute that you can go out and smoke everyone in it. You will be able to beat alot of other trucks, and trust me, you will get tested, but there is always someone faster.
Here's some pics of mine



i couldn't agree more
