New vehicle

[93Ext5.7ltr]

Okay, so I ran into some tough times again. Within two weeks, the timing belt went out on the 97 minivan which already had no A/C (it went out about a year ago) and then the transmission gave up the ghost. It would have cost about 6,000 to get the minivan back to working order. I shelved the mini and got into a 2000 Suburban w/ 109k, 5.3ltr, leather/power everything TTL for $10,000. Sound like a good deal? Well I thought it was decent compared to what I was gonna have to do.

So, any suggestions on which mods should be first (no n20, Turbo, S/C, or LT - that's too much $$$...baby steps people!!). Lesser stuff - any recommendations?

Thanks!

cold air, exhaust, tune, thats all i could think of as lesser.

Which CAI - there seems to be a lot and K&N doesn't seem to be what it used to.... Was thinking Basani Exhaust...don't know though

[silverado06]

i have an afe i like it, it also has a plastic tube, so its a little cooler, most exhaust places will do a custom exhaust just choose the muffeler, you could also get hi-flow cats put on while your there

Volant makes really nice intake systems

Thanks duckysbht - good to "talk" to you again! Seems you got something up your sleeve for your truck.....care to share or should I just sit back and wait to see the kill posts climb vbmenu_register("postmenu_98824", true);

Yeah man its good to here from you. Haha nothin too tricky up my sleeve about the truck. Just the usual ass kicking machine.

Hows the truck running? I been missing some of those kill stories you used to post up

Yeah......tranny's leaking out from underneath....gonna cost about $2,000 to get it rebuilt. Maybe I can get things going again after a few more months. If you'd noticed another post from me, I had to replace the minivan.... so dough is hard to come by right now.
