Damn I didnt have any problems with my LPP headers, best fitting headers Ive ever installed. Im used to the header tick but havent cared to check mileage after install. Kinda bored with the truck overall. I miss my dmax dearly and will be looking for a crew cab of some sort after I get through with all the house bs and the wifes car paid off.

I'd have kept my 4x4 ECSB, but not modded it to this point. Should've stopped with the Radix at 6 psi with no other mods, then built a RCSB.

Had I found this site earlier I woulda not bought the STS kit or modded my CCSB and just focus'ed on a RCSB. I'm happy with what and how I've modded my RCSB but all the lessons I learned I paid dearly on the old CCSB.

I would have skipped on the million rims I bought and swapped on this truck, I would have left it lowered but notched it, I would have dumped all the money I wasted on bs stuff into the engine, trans, and rear end, and last but not least I would have started with a 5.3. This 4.8 runs great for what it is, but I would have been better off with the 5.3.

I would have left the 5.3 in and added a TVS1900. That's it.

Instead of wasting all the money on the last 7 trucks I woulda kept my 99 scsb z71 and built a turbo 5.3 80e etc and bought a dmax and still had money in the bank.. Instead of being broke and having two worthless trucks lol

I wouldnt have spent all the money on my Z and just bought a dmax like I wanted from the beginning. I also wouldnt have sold my dmax, I wouldve just gotten my Z running and sold it.
