Since I can never be fast and I didn't want a mini van or SUV; I got me a truck.

2009 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ to be exact. I like the GMC sierra fronts better but I have some mods already on the way for this thing. I ordered a Dr.Colorchip kit because the front end is "salted" with rock chips. I can't say peppered because it's black. Black is the greatest color for a man's vehicle but it's also the crappiest to maintain. Oh well, I love it and the black leather package it has. It also came pre-tinted from the previous owners and it's dark!

Purchased Mods:
Newer style paint match grill(OEM)
OEM running boards(chrome)

Currently the running boards on there are "DeezNutz". They are actually DeeZee and they already have surface rust on them. This is why you buy OEM stuff.

Future mods? I'd like to get the rear bumper paint matched so there is less chrome on this thing. I'd love a 5" lift on this thing with bigger tires and wheels but then I wouldn't be able to park in the ramp, so this probably wouldn't happen. What will happen is a 2" leveling kit for the front. The dealer sticker also has to get removed on the rear tailgate.

Nobody cares what I have to say so here are some quick edits and I have no idea how to get it to resize.

Very nice! 5.3L? I like the black bowtie too. Welcome to Chevy Style :D

Now get yourself a Diablo handheld tuner ordered up and pay a visit to DiabLew for a custom tune: http://www.diablewtune.com/

5.3?
Leather interior?

Looks pretty nice. Pretty jealous I would love to have a newer truck. Still rocking the danger ranger.

Future mod undercoat the rear wheel wells so it don't rust. Trucks rust really bad in the rear wheel wells.

It is a 5.3 with AFM/DOD. I will have to monitor my oil to make sure it isn't burning a ton. That issue is blown out of proportion. A tune would be nice to give it a little more pep but it moves pretty good.

Protection for the wheel wells is going to happen. Apparently there is a TSB to help prevent this with some grease but it has a revision or metal in the wheel wells than the 07-08.

It has leather interior and the center console with wood trim. I have a pic of it.

Agreed that it is blown way out of proportion. I always let it kick down into V4 operation while cruising along with the cruise control set on the highway and I've seen zero oil consumption even when running a full oil drain interval of 7-8k miles. Some people insist on disabling it though; to each their own, but if I can save a few dollars on gas I'm going to.

Looked up the diablew tunes and some results; doesn't seem like it's worth the money. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/103241-diablo-sport-dyno-results-53l/

Kind of disappointing numbers but I'm not hauling all the time or racing the thing.

Canned tunes always suck, but that's why you get a custom remote tune from Lew.

Buys truck, goes and does photo shoot. The only thing you are missing is half nekked women in the photos. Looking good!
