With about 90% city miles right now, I'd welcome 13mpg usually. I drove some highway miles on the current tank and am currently at 15mpg, and that has me tickled shitless. Lmao.

Not a problem!

Welcome back!

Another vote for the Blue 03!

Both the diffs and the trans fluid that GM uses in the transfer case are synthetics.

I never heard of this happening until mine did it. Now I'm noticing it come up all over the place. My wife opened the door, it caught and tore the shit out of the moulding. At least she forked over the money to replace it....

Welcome!

Welcome. In all honesty, I wouldn't worry about the 5.7. You can usually find a 6.0 for around the same price, or a lot of times, even less. When the LS1 finally let go in my Trans Am, I was strapped for cash, so I picked up a 5.3 for $250. I figured with it being that cheap, it would get me back on the road until I could save for something better. It's proven to be a great little engine for next to nothing, so I'll probably keep it and go turbo. If you're planning on boosting, the 4.8/5.3 is a good option, because they can take a good bit of abuse and stay fairly reliable. And even if you do blow it up, they're a dime a dozen. Good luck with the build.

Welcome back. Always like to see more Arrival Blues

Welcome to the site!

AMSOIL Signature Series with an AMSOIL EA filter. If you ever want to try it, I can ship it to you for around the same price, or a little cheaper than you can get from a local retailer.

Sounds familiar. Mine did the same....and my wife did the same.

I'll take the hood and the passenger door molding. He can keep the rest.

Awesome. Congrats. I need to fix my dash too. It was perfect for 12 years, then out of nowhere... crack. =(

Welcome!

Welcome to the site!

I can almost guarantee it's your blower resistor. Look for it up under the glove compartment. The same thing happened on both my old SSS and my TBSS. It hasn't happened yet on my current truck, but I'm expecting it to eventually. Here is the video (I think) I used to show how to replace it.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxWM285eizw When you replace it, be sure and check the harness that plugs into the resistor too, because they will often burn up too. The good news, is you can get both the resistor and the pigtail harness together for dirt cheap on ebay.

Sorry, I was away all weekend and just got back today. I sent you a pm. I've heard some people say they used the additive with the AMSOIL, but PERSONALLY, I never have in either of the SS's I've had, or in my Trans AM. Additionally, none of the people I've sold to in the past have come back telling me that they needed it. It's $6-$7 more on an order to ship it along with the fluid, so I give the option and if the individual feels that it's worth it to have it and not need it, I'll order it too. I went ahead and got it when I did my first one, and just never used it. It'll let you know with some minor chatter if it will be needed.

75W90 in the front and rear. I use AMSOIL Severe Gear in all my vehicles. The actual capacities are 4.2pt in the rear and 3pt in the front (7.2pt or 3.6qt), so you would need 4qt total. Also, the transfer case takes 4.4pt, or 2.2qt of ATF Here are links to the products I use. SG 75W90. http://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-product/gear-lube/severe-gear-75w-90/?code=SVGQT-EA Signature Series Multi-Vehicle ATF. http://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-product/transmission-fluid/automatic/signature-series-multi-vehicle-synthetic-automatic-transmission-fluid/?code=ATFQT-EA If you're interested, and don't know a local dealer, shoot me a message and I'll quote you. I've got dealer status and should be able to ship it to you for the same, or a little less than if you would buy it local retail.

It looks like all the work was well done. It's a little much for me, but I'm sure it's right up somebody's alley...

Congrats. Welcome to the site!

The new ones are way too rich for my blood. I'll drive mine til the wheels fall off.
