Hello all!
I had2014 Silverado z71 with the new 5.3. After deciding I did not need a 4wd truck and wanted to go back a performance/sport truck I decided to go back to a 2wd.

Started looking at Silverado SS, lightnings, srt-10 and looking at Insurance I found this.



2012 with 32,000 miles with 5.7. Not fancy really but I tell you. This truck would blow my 14 silverado away. The 5.7 hemi made the 5.3 feel like a droopy eyed one armed child.

Not sure as to what mods I wanna do first. Def wanna add a bit more power, LOWER IT, then wheels tires and we will se what happens.

Welcome! Sorry about the Chevy lol

Me too lo. The interior was nice don't get me wrong but those new 5.3 are not all they are cracked up to be at all! The 6.2L yeah but you have to buy a 40k Pluse truck to get that.
