    Hi guys.
    I just got a new job out of town and will be driving a WHOLE lot more (and taking a pay cut until I start earning commissions.)
    So, I'm thinking of selling the truck (not happy about it.)
    It's a 2000k ex-cab stepside with cloth bench front and bench rear.
    appx 98,000 miles, 5.3 (blue ext, gray int)
    I bought the truck last may from a friend of Tiburon's in McAllen, TX.
    It has:
    Engine:
    Stainless longtube headers
    dual exhaust with x-pipe (catless)--sounds frickin' awesome at WOT
    Flomaster mufflers and chrome camaro style tips (not real fond of the tips)
    K&N CAI
    Ported TB
    Ported Maf
    LS1 edit (I don't have the editor, but that's how it was programmed)
    Electric LT1 fans
    TB Spacer
    Underdrive Pullies

    Drivetrain:
    4.10 rear gears with posi diff
    Vette servos
    Shift kit
    ***I have a yankTT3000 torque converter New in box that I'll be selling seperately for $400 once I know the truck is sold.***

    Suspension:
    2/4 drop
    JGP shocks (less than 10k miles)
    All new front suspension pieces (spent $600 on this)
    Cal-tracs style traction bars (not made by cal-tracs, but identical)
    18" five-spoke Carussi polished aluminum wheels
    Falken ziex tires (90% tread left)
    Fresh load-force balance

    Brakes:
    14" front powerstop rotors and caliper relocation kit

    Stereo:
    Clarion CD head unit
    Alpine door speakers

    Interior:
    Wood grain interior kit

    Exterior:
    New window tint
    Aftermarket sliding rear window
    Chrome fender flares (not real fond of these, but they go with the truck)
    New extang soft bedcover
    Billet Grill
    LED blinking side mirrors

    I got 20.8 mpg on my way back from McAllen.
    I average around 18-19mpg mixed driving around DFW.

    Problems:
    The truck is as reliable as the day is long. The latch to the glove box rattles (I can probably fix that too.) I've noticed a slight leak around the tranny pan. The jump seat/console doesn't always open (seat flips up and down just fine you just can't store anything in it.) It has the usual paint blemishes that a truck of it's age has, and a peel spot about 2"by2" on the hood, but is otherwise great.
    Oh, the windshield is cracked on the pass side. I had no problems with inspection, and I can probably get a new one installed at work if it's a huge issue.

    I'll post pics in a day or two (when it quits raining). It ran a 14.60 on 20"s before in crappy weather (before a few of the mods, but I'm not sure which.)
    I would like to get $11,000 (I paid 12,225 in May '06 and have invested over $1500 in it since then). I am in the DFW area.
    I LOVE THIS TRUCK...but I love my family more, so the money I get from this will help make sure we are A-OK while my income picks back up at the new job.

    To help w/ the sale, I had the same problem w/ my center console, had to beat the latch to get it to open, I took it apart and put some white lithium grease on the latch, no problem since.

    good luck w/ the sale, I can understand not wanting to sell it.
