racer Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 (edited) its got the 4.3 6 in it, so exhaust is out. but what other kind of mods can a guy do for reasonably cheap to make it look better? thinkin about lower the rear 2in to get it even with the front. any other suggestions? EDIT: guess i should say its an '05 GMC sierra shortcab wide bed. Edited February 21, 2005 by therail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro189 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 (edited) trade up to a ford vehicles arent really cheap to mod. i think best bang for the buck is thoes programmers or chip it. maybe a K&N even though i disagree with them. if it lets mor air in it has to let more dirt in, so i wouldnt run a k&n. other than that i would say a free flowing exhaust, chip it, maybe go craazy and super charge it i think chipping would be the best thing to do though. i would wait until you get out of base warrenty to do any thing because, and i dont know about chevy, but i work at a ford dealer in service, and if we find any of that shit on the we wont warrenty any engine, or trans work to be done on it.so you would be screwed there. but like i said you could spen 1000 and not really gain anything. also another thing to look out for is people that tell you the tornadoes and shit like that are great for your money. to tell you the truth the horse power gain is only in there head to really gain anything you need to change stuff like a free flowing exhaust, bigger intake, different cam different heads that is where the power is at, not just doing something like a k&n. but for what you want to do you might want to look into chiping it, i have seen a noticable difference personaly with that stuff. i have tried a bunch of the other stuff, and you really dont get a gain out of it. just my 2 cents oh i reread it to make it look better. sorry get new wheels i think thoes change the apperance the most Edited February 21, 2005 by jeffro189 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheels and tires can get pricey but mine is sittin' on chrome 17's now and it looks about right. Be careful of the advice you get from Loco he's a Dodge guy and most Dodges roll off the lot and straight to the "Add a Bunch of Crap Mart".

jadaven Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 hood I dont know if that would fit but I am gonna get a functional one for my silverado. As far as mods go with some flowmasters, the 4.3 sounds pretty good with them. I run a K&N on my truck right now it helps alot. I run K&Ns on all my stuff, I havent had a problem yet, just keep them clean and oiled. Try here too parts Ive been looking to mod my truck for a while now. Just have to look and there is all kinds of stuff. I dont think i would ever lower a truck I am partial to stock ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
