I've had 4 crew cab trucks and I rarely ever had people in the back seat. I've been looking at 05-07 1500 crew cabs but I'm not a huge fan of the baby bed. Then I sit there and think, "Now what can I do to it so I won't walk out into a parking lot and be confused to which one is mine". My buddy went from a crew cab to an ext cab about a year ago and swears its the best decision he ever made. lol... However his is a work truck. I want something "fun" to drive. My Cadillac is just whatever, but it was bought to be a commuter so no big deal... I wan't something that does burnouts and pisses off old people.

What did it have originally was it a pretty simple swap? I have a 6.0 and i have been told the 6.2 is a direct swap including computer. What did you have to do to get 415 hp from the 6.0?

It had a 4.8...It was a direct swap with comp. Did headers and tune .

Your truck is pretty f'n clean! Post more pics! What size tire, wheel and drop did you go with? I think I'm gonna have to bag the rear for when I tow....

BTW- If anyone knows of a clean black SS, 2wd (not a deal breaker), under 100k miles and preferably unmolested let me know. ... Silver Birch is my 2nd choice color, but it would have to be priced well.

Lowered 4" in front 6" rear...C notch frame with rear air bags. 20" wheels....Air bags are a must if you are going to tow....
