new member. 97 dually. intro. need ideas/suggestions.

Hey Guys and Gals!

Names Damian. you can call me D. everyone i know does.
im 20, from a small town (Tepetate, LA).
been working on vehicles since i was 15.

its been my dream to have myself a 4 door dually, and i now have one.

its a 1997 gmc 3500. 6.5 detroit, 122k miles.
currently has a 3-5 drop, 4" exhaust with muffler, all rear LED lights, leather interior, front bench in rear with buckets and center console up front, 2-12's behind rear seat, manual boost controller, map sensor mod, relocated pmd, etc.

my plans for this thing are fairly simple. bagged, SFBD on 22.5's

i've bagged vehicles before, but never a dually. i will rarely tow with it, however i want to set it up to be able to tow whatever i put on it.

any suggestions on parts and brands to get would be helpful. pics of setups on trucks like mine would also be great!












thanks for looking,

Thanks everyone!

Nice truck....

What kinda mileage do the 6.5's get? I have been considering selling my 89- and finding me a 92-00 diesel.

Thanks! I get about 14-18 depending on how I drive. That's with the mods of course. However, it's much much better than a gas dually.
