In february of 2012 i totaled my 03 QCSB 2500. after dealing with insurance and taking my parts off of it and selling it i found a 2006 2500 qcsb to replace it with.
my 03 "blue" before
and after
so after i got my new truck home from new york i got right to getting my parts in her. i had a 4'' lift, intake, pusher manifold, 60% over stock CP3 from T&C diesel, AD II 165, and a smarty sr. the truck came with an exhaust and diablosport tuner.
some pics of the 06
night i brought her home
intake and pusher on that night
now i bought the truck knowing it had injector issues. i had plans to get some 100hp injectors for it right after buying it but i ran into issues getting my old title and getting paid for the old truck. i took a risk and took the truck on a trip from MA to SC and only made it to NJ before an injector went on me. After sitting in a rest area for over 12 hours a buddy from home came down with a trailer and dragged me home, tow mirrors down in shame. :nail:
sitting in NJ
while the truck sat for a couple weeks waiting on new injectors from Exergy Performance i traded my stock wheels for a set of H2's. i hadn't put the lift on it yet because i didn't want to drive around with stock tires and a 4'' lift but knowing i was going too i wanted the bigger offset.
truck with H2's and stock tires/lift.
i also installed some stereo goodies. i bought a pioneer 6.5'' in dash screen from a best buy that was closing and got a killer deal on it. i also had kicker speakers and an MTX enclosed sub/amp unit that were in the previous truck. i still have to order a NAV bezel for the truck but as of recently they have increased in price, upwards of $250.
head unit going in
Finally the injectors came!! it took me the entire afternoon after work and a few hours the following day to get the truck back together, while i did the injectors i also put my CP3 in, a big line kit i pieced together on summit from the stock fuel bowl to the pump, an MBRP intercooler tube i had from blue and flushed the fluids. once i charged up the batteries she fired right up no issues. i was beyond thrilled.
almost buttoned up
all finished
i drove it like this for a while and saved up the $ i needed to get tires and a few pieces to put the lift in. i also got into sled pulling a bit so i used one of my old stacks and gave it some stack action. i also got into the plastidip craze that swept through my group of buddies and painted my wheels, emblems, bumper and grille.
a few pics of the "dipped" items.
emblems
once i had some play $ saved up i scooped up some new meats for the truck. when they arrived i brought the truck down to a buddies shop and we got to work. the 4'' (3.5'') top gun customz lift i had from the other truck went on and we put the new tires on my H2 wheels.
