SSSTony Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 ...And I still can't stop smiling! It's a black 2003 w/ 16,000 miles. Apparently the only two options not checked when new were rear underseat storage and the block heater. So it's basically the way I would have ordered one. It also has a Line-X roll-on bedliner treatment. That stuff is so thick, it must weigh a ton, but as this is a functional, daily-driver performance vehicle I'm ok with that. So is there ANYTHING I can do to the truck without voiding the remaining 1.5yr of warranty? If I know anything, even a K&N would void it. I don't want to do anything major while under warranty, but I was thinking of a cold air induction system and either just a new muffler or maybe a cat-back system for a bit more rumble. Also, has anyone painted their stock wheels? I want to use the paint code and have them color matched black. Will paint hold up? Or do they need to be powdercoated to be durable? Should I leave the edges bare, because I worry about scratching/chipping when the tires are mounted by the machine and balanced? Thanks for any help. I look forward to spending time around here. -Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron's SS Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Welcome and congrats on the SS. This site is way to addicting so you will need funds. The K&N will not hurt warranty, neither will the exhaust (cat back). Sometimes headers can cause the cat to fail so they can get you on that one. Either way, enjoy the truck...

SSSTony Posted April 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm a serious mountain biker and after many years have almost cured my UGI (UpGrade-Itis) for that sport. Now it seems I've been infected with SSS UGI, a potentially much more dangerous strain, due to the increased costs associated with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
