    newb with a slow truck

    greetings, my name is Brian and I have a 2008 GMC RCSB 4.8L
    I like just outside of San Antonio, TX in the Cibolo/Schertz area.

    I've done a few cosmetic things to the truck and a little tuning via HPTuners. More stuff to come soon.

    As I bought it:

    hey man welcome again! Looks like a clean truck.. Just a few things to set it off

    - put it on the ground
    - get the amber color out of the headlights
    - black GMC logo on the front
    tint the windows
    - color match the mirrors

    that should do it for now. Oh yeah and cam and stall

    Good things to do...i would also say debadge it...and instead of that grille that you have...do a billet one...and no GMC emblem. But this is all just me.
    Looks good now tho man. Welcome.

    i can't get off the line for ****...the first time I went I was spinning...and last night it was like I couldn't get it moving off the line.

    I got some tips on what to do to the tune to get it going quicker though so I'm going to make some adjustments.
