Default Picked up a truck while I was home

Hey guys, I picked up a 2006 RCSB while I was home on R&R, I searched for a while before I found this combo up here in Michigan. I was looking for a red or black 05-07 classic RCSB 2wd with v8. I found alot of v6's, RCLB's, RCSB 4wd or a combo of the bunch haha. They love there 4wd's around here, haha. Found it though, it's just a base work truck so not really optioned, its got cruise and a cd player haha, good enough for me I kind of like it being stripped. It's pretty weak little 4.8L and some highway gears for sure, its got a g80 go figure haha. A stout little 6.0L and gears will fix that though, I'm curious to see what kind of milage it will get before I swap it. Going to get some wheels and lower it a bit while I'm getting the 6.0L ready. I took the toolbox out the evening I bought it haha. My son likes it too! ;p

Man i get frustrated driving around in my ccsb. Sometimes i wish i had a rcsb and could start over. Especially with the high elevation and thin air here, boost ftw. A boosted rcsb should scream man, nice base you got.
