My name is Steve, born and raised in south Florida. Finally learned my lesson, no more GM vehicles for me. Traded my POS 03 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP in on a red 02 B3000 Dual Sport. She's in great shape, even if she does have 113K on her. Got an extended warranty, ETC. She's covered for 3 more years or another 24k. Rides nice, looks great and I'm looking forward to having a vehicle on the road and not in the shop.

Carry on.

I'd like to do a few things to her looks wise, even though she already looks good. Tonneau cover, some wheels and tires.
Thinking about dynamatting the interior. Maybe some buckets, I really dont know.
The 3.0 seems to be a dead end as far as performance mods so I plan on leaving her stock.

and where do you live in fl?

Dead end in performance mods? I think not :P

Scroll down past the technical info. I've had a 3.0 and did alot of reading on the 3.0, so I know a it about whats out there for them. I respect it, although quite a few people consider it junk.

Also, I do believe my dad did work on the power plant around there, so I'll thank him for you, for you continuing to have electricity. :icon_thumby:

Kidding of course lol

I think if I really want more power Id save up for a 5.0 swap. B5000 sounds nice, don't you think? Tell your Dad thanks, but to please get the power back on sooner after a hurricane? 2 weeks with no juice, in a hot muggy Florida summer is just wrong. :D

He just helps build/refurbish the damn things :P it not working right ain't his problemo xD

I love the 5.0 as much as the next guy, but EVERYONE does it. It's almost a sheep complex now xD.

Also, if you want trouble free power year round, move the hell out of Florida lol
