Just picked up a 2001 lightning


New to the lightning world so any warning or tips welcome. looks like last few owners where easy on her. 139,000 miles and has a diablo predator programmer I don't think much else is done besides a flowmaster muffler. whats some good bolt on that would cause to much issues. thanks ahead of time

Factory rods are weak. Make sure you know if your truck is pullied. Avoid WOT 4th-2nd and 3rd to 4th shifts.

Probably worth going after the intercooler and cleaning it out

Front end probably needs to be rebuilt.



Fun fun truck, enjoy! Feel free to hang out and learn a thing or two

Cool deal, what color?

Just FYI lighting section is pretty low traffic. If it's a non lightning question you probably are better served in the 97-03 section

the lowering

the ricer fuel filler door

the plastic paint ruiners on the doors
