New guy in Afghanistan... Errrr

Wait I am currently in Afghanistan, however I reside in Indiana. I just purchased a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 with a 5.3. My plans were to remain stock and be a nice dail driven commuter, well as a gear-head... I always make myself that promise. Unfortunately, I have friends who work in the automotive community and I cannot stop myself from building either my vehicle or some sort of guns.

Anyway, long story short I should be home around June and well... Let's just say RPM Transmissions is just north of me and I have a friend who works there. Then, just south of me, there is another friend who is a fabricator by trade and he LOVES turbos!

Anyway, I look forward to reading more on this forum and learning more about these trucks.

Welcome

Welcome, when in doubt empty the magazine.

Welcome! Branch?

Welcome! Keep your head down!

I'd rather keep the enemies head down! Thanks, not trying to sound like a prick... just making light of the situation.

Nop, there's a few of us here that fully understand! What firm are you with while your there?

PM'd.

Yup, appreciate it!

The more I read around this site, and the more I already know about the 5.3... I want to turbo my truck! I buy it, thinking it will be a great family hauler and comfortable. Now, I keep thinking to myself "My little guy is going to become a gear-head at a young age!"
