    Cab Utility Lights on 1500

    I want to install utility lights on top of my cab like the duallys and 2500s have. However, I want to get some clear ones and put red LEDs in them. How would I wire these up and will I need resistors for the LEDs? Also, where can I find some clear led cab lights I can't find any to fit our trucks.

I am only 17 years old...

    New Engine

    Ok guys. My engine just died. I'm gonna replace it. Keep in mind that I'm 17 so I'm on a minimum wage budget. What could I do as far as engine mods are concerned to get more horsepower? I want to stick with the 350 vortec.
