[QUOTE="Coyote56, post: 5688, member: 493"] Hello all! My name is Jake, and I am from rural northern Ohio. My truck is an old 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 2wd standard cab long bed motivated by a tired 4.3L and 4L60E. This is my first truck, purchased for $601 when I was barely 16, and I have owned it for 3 years now. During this time I've made many memories with the old rig, and even though some have been less that enjoyable, overall I have liked owning the truck, and would consider owning another even though my family only owns Fords otherwise. Being a broke college student, modifications are few and far between, and most of the work done on this truck is out of necessity. Despite living on a farm, most of the use this old truck sees is hauling my sorry hind end to college or work day in and day out. Work on the truck includes: Fuel pump, (2) new injectors, Brakes , Brake lines, Plug wires, Rotor and cap, Fog lights ($30 from the local junkyard!) Toolbox ($25 from farm auction, welded by a friend and wired by my kid brother), Cb Radio And soon to be an intake manifold gasket, I think? Anyways, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to join a forum full of people willing to lend their ears and offer advice. I look forward to benefitting from the wisdom here, and offering what insight I have. Thank you!
