April 22, 200619 yr well today came and as i had talked before about changing my ride... well i did... probably nothing to what i would have expected... but i'll say this ever since Leathal Weapon... Mel Gibson had a midnight blue Chevy(maybe GMC) Crew Cab Duely... well I always wanted one just like that cause it looked awesome... well i got a midnight blue GMC Sierra 3500 Ext Cab Duelly... traded in the 02 trans am... went from 5.7 to 8.1... and damn that tranny shifts great! love the allison I guess i'm done with racing for now... besides i had a few close calls and i know when to call it quits before I get a ticket... anyone know any nice GM truck enthusiast sites that could help me out?
April 22, 200619 yr Your new ride has to be kinda thirsty. As for a truck site, I like www.gm-trucks.com.
April 22, 200619 yr Potent combination. I used to drive a 2wd extd. cab dually with that powertrain and it was amazing. Also it got better mileage than my 6.0 2500 4x4.
April 22, 200619 yr The 8.1 is a BEAST.... we have one in our 35ft box truck GMC and it grosses out at about 25,000lbs and it drives like a champ. Mel Gibson had a GMC truck in Lethal Weapon btw.

Also it got better mileage than my 6.0 2500 4x4. anyone got a recomendation on headers or exhaust that would help with fuel ecconomy, i've had a few customers say they accually notice a big increase in fuel ecconomy with full exhaust swap... so... i guess i'm looking to make this thing growl a little more she's kinda quiet
April 24, 200619 yr I just recently found this web site (forum) and signed up, but not having too much time on my side I haven't spent much on there. Check them out: http://www.gmfullsize.com/ And post some pictures of that bad boy ASAP! You can probably tell from my signature that I approve greatly of your new truck. I too have always wanted a dually - I want a GMC Sierra Regular Cab 4wd 3500 dually myself though. Edited April 24, 200619 yr by GMTruckGuy74

April 25, 200619 yr here you go... sorry for the poor quality i didnt set up my camera phone for high resolution so i had to stretch em a bit... love that color..
April 25, 200619 yr B-E-A-utiful truck! I've always wanted a truck like the one Mel Gibson had too, but alas I have something just as good, my 1976 Chevy 1/2-ton (with 3/4-ton rear springs from the factory) That is until the Impala is 90% paid off, then I can get my crew-cab duallie truck like that, but I'm debating on the Duramax with the Allison, or the 8.1L with the Allison.....
April 26, 200619 yr Author love that color.. yea thats what really did it for me... i was like wow... it drives good... but its midnight blue, the color i've always wanted for a dually B-E-A-utiful truck!
