Hi everyone! I just wanted to take a moment and introduce myself, I am new to the forum. My name is Ross and I am from a small town in Central PA called Avis. I have a 2006 Chevy 2500HD LT1 CC/SB, LBZ,Victory Red. I bought my truck back in June of this year by chance, I used to have a 2005 Chevy 2500HD WT EC/SB, 6.0 Vortec/Auto, Victory Red, but unfortunately I fell asleep at the wheel one morning and mowed down a telephone pole and totaled it :(. Was looking for another gas motor HD (didnt figure I would find an LBZ for what I wanted to spend) and stumbled upon this one for $24,500, in cherry condition with 87K, so I HAD to buy it. Save a few small things, the truck was all stock when I bought it. So far, Ive added an Edge Evolution CS, 5 inch straight pipe from Husker Diesel, and Dick Cepek Torque 17x9 wheels wrapped in 265/70 R17 BFG All Terrain T/A's, along with a few other things for on the job. My truck works every day in the gas fields on the Northern Tier of PA, I recently started my own small business providing well head inspection and flowback testing, Select Gas Services. I am a sub-contractor for a company out of Canada by the name of Talisman. So my truck is no show pony, its logs 125+ miles a day and also serves as my office. I still keep her as clean as possible though! On its days off, we are usually shredding the BFG's and blowing smoke on the residents of Avis and surrounding areas, or pulling a 1946 John Deere G around to tractor pulls on a gooseneck...its safe to say my truck has no days off! In the future after my business gets up and rolling, I'd like to buy a brand new 3500HD SRW LML for my work truck, and turn this one into a competition pulling truck/street menace. So thats pretty much it about me, Im very happy to be a new member and hope I can learn some stuff!

I actually had some questions about your truck but didnt get the opportunity to talk to you again. What size tires are you running, and is your truck factory height or is it lowered a touch in the front? I love the stance of that thing! Later down the road I will probably be looking at EFI Live for this thing, so I will probably contact you at some point in the future regarding some stuff about pulling and EFI Live and what not. I really dont know who to go to because all my buddies trucks just have the typical programmer/pipe/intake deal and they dont really pull at all, at least not competitively.

315 tires and the truck when you looked at it was lowered all the way in the front for pulling.
