Hey guys... sold my 2nd gen. '97 to a friend who really, really wanted it
and bought a very nice used 03 HO from a TDR member located north of Pittsburgh PA, who had it advertised in the classifieds on this site.
Overall, except for some trivail BS, I really like the truck, LOVE the 6 spd. The truck seems a bit "constipated" if you know what I mean, when compared to my bombed '97, but you'll have that with a stock truck
Soooooo that being said, I'm looking for advice on exhaust and intake air upgrades as well as fueling boxes... going to do the normal searches through the archives, but would like to hear from any and all with ideas and suggestions.
BTW my only complaint, which is not so trivial, is THE PAINT SUCKS!!!
I have the black/clear coat paint which has more chips in it already than my '97 aquired in 150,000 miles of hard use!!!!
What the heck happened to the paint quality? This is NOT new technology!
Thanks in advance, Greg
