NEWBS CHECK IN!!
 
Alright just want to lay out some ground work for new guys on the Silverado board. First of all, WAASSUUP?! Second of all, before you post a question, please take the time to check out the Frequently Asked Questions section at the top of the Silverados page. There are a lot of common questions that grow tiring and are explained quite well in the FAQ section. For example, if you have a question about exhaust, intakes, programmers, or other common performance mods, the FAQ is for you.

There are also a lot of common problems explained in the FAQ!

Also please take the time to get involved in the Truck of the Month contest which is held in a special section on the top part of the main page of this site. The board is actually called Truck of the Month Contest so it's kinda hard to miss.

Thanks for visiting. Hope you can learn something from us and maybe we can learn something from you!

I think newbs is a derogatory term. Maybe we can rank new people like they do in the military.. you know.. call them trainees, and privates and such..

Got this beast yesterday to save my BMW from the winter, I know Im gonna replace the cab corners and rockers, but the truck other than a few rust spots seems pretty decent. Oh, In that I live in NW Ohio, I'll also prob replace the battery the guy must have had a smaller battery from a civic or smaller car...

Hello all,
I'm new to the forum, but old to Chevy. Have had my Suburban since new, predominetly used to pull a travel trailer. But with the gas-guzzling 454 and plenty of power it is still very enjoyable to drive.

Hi! New to This Forum
 
Just dropped by to say hi as a new member of this forum. Just purchased a 2005 Chevy HD2500 LS and love it! Traded in my 1992 GMC 4X4 pick up that I owned for 17 years. She never gave me a minutes worth of trouble. Hope the new truck lives up to her legacy.

Newbie here. I have recently purchased a 1998 Chevy Extended cab C1500 that has a few issues. I found this forum and most of my issues are listed as common, lol. I had a 1992 Chevy C1500 conversion that got totaled in the snow and this is it's replacement. I also have a modded 2002 Camaro SS, hence the screen name that I have on other boards. Looks like a great forum so far.

What Cam and Lifter kit should i get for 97 350 chevy?
 
3 Attachment(s)
What's up to all the truck enthusiast. My name's Reed from Houma, Louisiana and 21 yrs old. I have a 1997 Chevy Silverado ext cab with the 5.7L 350 vortec. I've installed true duel Flowmaster Exhaust with 3"tips, a K&N cool air intake, Airaid Throttle body spacer and a Hypertech Max Programmer. I ran my truck on the track two weeks ago and ran consistently mid 15s. I would like to get it to run in the mid 14s to high 14s eventually. So if I would purchase a cam and lifter kit which would be best for the truck with the add-ons i currently have.:confused:

hey that's cool, what is your OBO !!!!!!!!! m interested.

corvetteOJ 04-17-2010 07:19 AM

Here we go, checking in! I am OJ Webster, Montgomery, Alabama. I purchased a 2010 Silverado, Reg cab, short bed, V-6, WT Version. I have an '03 Corvette and an '06 Hummer H3, both of which I have converted into show vehicles. I needed a truck and a vehicle I could drive in the rain, therefore the Silverado. However, I have only had it three weeks and have already added over $2500 in after market mods and accessories. Trust me, it needed some. When the opportunity presents itself, I will post some before and after pics. Although, my other two vehicles are exception attention getters, I do love my SILVERADO!!! By the way, it is Victory Red.
