New to the trucks
Hey there everyone, I just joined this forum and figured I'd introduce myself. My names Wesley, living in Arkansas, and recently got my first truck. It's a 2001 sclb with the 4.8 and a few mods. I've been a gearhead for several years now, and have been on various different forums.
My last car was a c5 Corvette (again with some mods) and before that was actually several old Volvos (also modded out)
Now on to my truck. Again, it's a 2001 sclb with 4x4 and the 4.8 engine. I bought it a few months ago when a storm knocked a tree over onto my Corvette and totaled it out. Broke my heart, but I made money out of the deal even considering all the mods I did to it. It was a blast, but a little too flashy for me, so I was wanting something with a little more umph to it. Enter the rusted out 01. I bought the truck with 150k miles on the clock. Rusted out cab corners, rear fenders, and drivers side floor. Original spark plugs and wires, and a garbage tune. However, the truck does have a 4 inch lift on it sitting on 33's, and a sloppy stage 2 cam when I purchased it
At this point so far I've swapped the center console out for one from an 08, installed long tube headers, 3 inch y pipe, and a cheap cat back off eBay in 2.5". I've also added a cold air intake, swapped to the " better" ignition coils with the built in heat sink, and swapped in a 145 amp alternator. Definitely more to come with the truck as time allows
Don't be afraid to ask any questions!
