I sold them shortly after gettin the truck back, but I think they were 255 70 17's if I recall corerectly. I'll be movin out to Jeanerette La at the end of the month, you'll have to clue me in to a good SCT tuner shop in the area with a dyno to get my other truck tuned in on.

I would but the truck rides and handles so nice now and I can still use it like a truck with light tow duties. So I hate to mess with it anymore lol My wife loves it more then she did her CTS, she has started to grow a lead foot too I will have to get the truck clean and get some better pics, it looks killer.

well time for an update. Kept the truck for a while in S La and then sold it to my dad who, as was his specialty, really put a hurtin on the poor thing lol I'm about to go through it again, but it sure ain't as nice this time as it was the first time. Have lived in se ky now for about 9.5 years and love it.

yea, have had it for a couple years now, just haven't had time or play money to go through it until now. My wifes been drivin it until they start throwin salt on the roads. Turns out my old man wasn't as picky, found a couple holes in the drivers rocker tonight and had some startin up behind the rear glass, not holes but wil;l be in a year or two if not fixed soon. I'll throw some pics up when i get some time to take some decent ones. Its sad.

dang... sad to hear. that's similar to how my previous truck was when i ran across it last summer after selling it to a college kid in 2020. he still loves it but has been much less picky about keeping it up.

and i actually just picked my wife up a project-ish truck a few weeks ago: a super-clean, low-mile 2001 Dodge 1500 with the 318 / 5spd. just got ours tinted, am about to go through & change all the new-looking fluids (just to make sure they're the right ones & that they didn't miss any). needs some PDR for a few little dents and then paint-correcting a lot of rock chips + the aging clear.

since you're *****-deep into that v10 swap, who's a good custom tuner? ours is still on the factory death flash, so i'll get it programmed after i replace the entire exhaust (thinking Gobson shorties, Magnaflow cat / Y, and Gibson Sport Truck cat-back) & do a tiny cam... like a 212/218.

Honestly the best suggestion i can make on that stuff is to get the mopar performance pcm,rt or rt+10 cams,e fans, exhaust and intake. I tried sct on my v10 with lousy results. I'm REALLY out of the loop on all this stuff though, so things may have improved on the mopar side of things
