    black bear. whos got it?

    I have the BlackBear 93 Tune on my '97. I didnt do a crank relearn and havent had any problems from it. Guys, correct me if I'm wrong but I think its mainly for the newer models 99+. Matt

    Good budget cold air intake, 5.7

    No sir, no codes for me but I'm tuned for it. It shouldn't be a problem though. It also comes with the CARB sticker for state inspection stuff. Hey if you get a code, that's a good reason for a custom tune. Matt

    Good budget cold air intake, 5.7

    If you have to have a CAI, get the Spectre. I didnt see a huge gain. Maybe a little more responsive off the line. Its a pretty nice piece, easy to install, and has held up pretty good. Summit has it for $105.99 which is much better than ~$250 FOR k&n. Matt

    Toolbox black or chrome?

    Im thinking about getting a toolbox for the truck and cant decide if I want a chrome or black one. I have black stepbars on my truck now, but wouldnt mind taking them off if a chrome box would look better. I also would like to know your thoughts on black or chrome wheels on my truck. My...

    Thanks. I turned the torsion bars up a bit and now she sits a little nose high. Also I stuff the bed with crap every now and again and would like a little extra spring under there. I cant afford lifted leaf springs so an add-a-leaf will have to do. Im not terribly worried about it, just want to...

    upgrades on my first 96 k1500

    I gotta agree with aloicious, intakes and TB spacers are a waste. (I learned the hard way.) And if your looking to tune forget the can crap. Go with a custom tune (like Blackbear, Wester's, etc.) or even better a dyno tune. I have a Blackbear 93 tune and its like driving a new truck. Justin can...

    Ole Red

    Here she is... I have taken off the stickers, and turned up the torsion bars a little. I'll have to get some new pictures. I have been wanting to find some 8" wide wheels and an add-a-leaf but funds have called elsewhere. What should I do next? Sorry I'm not very good at posting...
