Bought CLean 03 3500, Very nice Flame Red truck

Well I traded my 05 for the Clean 03 3500 SRW,6spd, this thing Is almost all stock. Ill get pics up here in the next day. This thing is a really nice driving clean truck Im really happy with it so far, its got High Idle, Exhaust brake,chrome billet grill,I put my Chrome winter covers on they look good on this thing, has Black Full length running boards (wife asked me" are you going to put your 4inch lift on it now that I have a step to get in?") said Yup sure am!! cab lights. I got the full 'whats been done to it' service records too. I put wheels on it sure made it look different. (cooler)
It has the factory lift pump and I noticed that its got the weak alternator bracket, where Can I get a stronger one off a newer truck? anyways time to start the mods LOL.

guess Ill have to redo my Sig.
thanks guys for all your input in this purchase, I think its worth it. and dont have to deal with that stupid automatic anymore.

Nice 03!

What's the splitter like **** on the gear shift handle? Is that for the exhaust brake? Or do you have an under/over drive unit?

Enjoy the new truck. Jess

Yes been in Fairbanks area most of its life. far as carfax goes anyways. and thank you guys. Ive looked at alot of others rides on here and there are some nice ones.

It also has the High Idle feature as well thats really cool although one thing I dont like about that is It turns OFF the exhaust brake when I turn it up.? I wonder if I can remedy that some how..
