ok, so if you had $20k to burn, a 2000 silverado 1500 ECSB daily driver with a 5.3l, 120k miles, the feeling that you never went fast enough, a love for american muscle, and were all paid up what would you do?

 

Open a Roth IRA with $3000 (the max allowed per year).
Buy a Matchbox car that looks like your favorite muscle car.
Donate the other $16,999 to the FCA (Foundation for Crackers Amusement)

 

lmao, that's a good one. but i signed a deal with the devil(reenlisted for another 4 in the corps).

 

Is your MOS usable in the civilian world? Are you gonna be a Lifer? Do you participate in the military offered investment programs?Spend some on women and beer, then waste the rest.

 

By a brand new 2008 2500 four door duramax 4x4. Or something around that.

 

Pay someone to drop a crate 6.0 liter in there and rebuild the tranny to handle more power.

 

negative on the lifer thing, just dont want to get called back in 2 years. but yes my MOS is usable on the outside, im a heavy equip. operator. but women and beer, tempting. a crate motor spunds good too, how crazy would an LS7 be? a new truck would be a good idea too, but that might put me under, the 4x4 would deffinetly get a lift at the very least. hmm.

 

I'd try to stick something in there that wasn't gonna cause too much need for modification/fabrication. That way you can focus less money on just the motor.

 

You know you have drempt about modifying the sh*t out of that truck, just do it! Make it loud, tall, pretty and fast. Then buy a beater car or truck and save your 00' for play and cruzing.

I would first make sure everything is up to date, like fluid exchanges and tune up stuff. Then modify it. Remember, a woman might not be there when you come back from overseas but your truck will be!

 

6 liter, 4l80 tranny, sts turbo kit, 15lbs dynotuned and call it a day
