Try online or Craigslist you should be able to find one


Im taken the Truck to the Exhaust shop sometime this week, the Y-pipe doesnt clear my big Transmission Deep Pan, so i need to tackle that, im thinking of a custom 3" pipe with a X pipe after the Transmission.. Should Sound a little meaner.

Thanks man, im loving that HD front End, I thought overall i was done with the exterior of the truck, apparently not, lol

I had one of my friend (Tech2 Mechanic at Chevrolet) swap out the rear gears, he charged me $200.00 for labor.. but when i was looking for a shop to do it they were charging anything from 300-500, you just gotta shop around.

if you're keeping the 24's i would honestly go with 4.30's
