Banker099's Garage

The Beginning:

Bought the truck in 2006 36k miles. The plan for the truck when i bought it was just to make it look good and haul my quad (YFZ450) on the weekends.

Specs when I bought it:
- 2002 Regular Cab Short Bed
- 4.3 V6
- 4L60E
- 3.42 with one tire fire
- intake

The night i bought it me and some buddies took all the molding, emblems, pinstripe off.

On day 2 of my owning the truck it got 2" lowering shackles and the Billet 22's.

Next came a small system, 1 JL 10" w3v3, crossfire amp, kicker doors and rear pillar speakers, pioneer deck.

After about 2 moths i got tired of my nose bleeding from sitting so high, so the 4/6 drop went on.

next came the color matched front bumper, roll pan, door handles, mirrors.

Then i saw the Hd Grille conversion but i could not find the top pad for the Hd truck anywhere, so i made do with the Hd grille on the 1500 bumper.

so, then i thought i was done, after all who wants to do anything performance to a v6.......then i stumbled on to this site, all the talk about v6-v8 swaps got me wanting to try it.

so i found a 5.3l, harness, and pcm for $750....then the madness started
