  6. T-Shirts...

    in For Sale/ Wanted

    Posted

    I've been away for awhile...but, how about bringing back the original SilveradoSS.com T-shirt which was black on white or the second generation which had a color graphic of an SSS on the back in Red (the fastest color), Black or Blue? These were pretty neat shirts and would have historic value. Sorry if this has already been discussed, I just checked back in with the site after a lengthy absence. Who's still around that I remember, Mervz, Zippy, Mwalls54 ????? Thanks for considering.

  11. 100,000 Supercharged Miles

    in Forced Induction and Nitrous

    Posted · Edited by mcwarren (see edit history)

    I installed my Magnacharger at just over 30,000 miles in September of 2004 and reset my business trip odo to zero at the time of installation. I installed a TransGo shift kit with servo upgrade at about the same time as the Magnacharger install. This past weekend I recorded 100,000 miles on my business trip odo.

     

    I have replaced a couple of fuel pumps (two intank and one frame rail mounted pump with the last replacement at about 108,000 and being a Walbro in both locations), other than that I have not made any repairs on my Silverado SS or had any drivetrain issues. I have conducted normal maintenance using Mobil 1 and changed all fluids (trans, transfer case, both drive axles and cooling system at 100,000).

     

    I have ran a 13.3 @ 99.7 a Firebird Raceway in Arizona.

     

    I love this truck!

  13. Cardinals In The Bowl !

    I was at the NFC Championship game. Great game. I think the two questionable calls or no call pretty much cancel each other out. Stuff happens during a game and the final score is all that matters. What a great experience. I don't have mcuh of a voice today. After paying my dues along with other Cards fans on the aluminum bleachers at Sun Devil Stadium we are really soaking this stuff up. GO CARDINALS!!

  14. 02 Sensor Codes

    in Engine Tech And Modification

    Posted · Edited by mcwarren (see edit history)

    P0141 and P0161 indicate an electrical circuit problem with the heater circuit in the number 2 or rear O2 sensors. Check fuse O2B in the underhood electrical center as it powers both bank one and bank two rear or number 2 O2 heater circuits. If the fuse is blown check for excessive current draw or a short to ground in the wiring to the rear O2 sensors

  18. Where Did Your Automotive Life Start?

    in Off-Topic/General

    Posted

    Two things happened in 1956 and 1957 that launched my lifelong love affair with the Automobile. First, my parents gave me a book titled “The Red Car” by Don Stanford, I read this book over and over. Second, an older cousin gave me boxes and boxes of car magazines from his collection dating from 1951 through 1957, I read these magazines (Hot Rod, Car Life, Sports Car Illustrated, Motor Trend, Speed Age, Hop Up, Car Craft etc) over and over. In 1957, my freshman year in High School I failed the second semester of typing and my parents told me I had to go to summer school. I chose to take a course in auto shop and I was hooked. I transferred to a Vocational High School for my sophomore through senior years and graduated in 1961 with a diploma in Auto Mechanics.

     

    My first car was purchased in 1957 when I was fourteen years old. I paid $15.00 for a 1939 Pontiac that some older kids in the neighborhood couldn’t get running. I had it running about 30 minutes after I got it home (they had the firing order wrong). I was too young to drive but I just wanted it to take it apart and put back together again, to learn how to fix cars.

     

    I got my first job at a new car dealer in October 1961, a few months after graduating from High School and worked for dealers up until my retirement in December 2007. I have been involved in performance and racing off and on as an enthusiast, mechanic or spectator during the last 51 years.

     

    51 years later at the age of 65, I still find cars the second neatest thing on the planet.

  22. What Was Your First Car/truck?

    in Off-Topic/General

    Posted

    1939 Pontiac purchased for $15 in 1958 from some older neighborhood kid that couldn't get it to run. He had the firing order wired at 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 instead of the correct firing order of 1-6-2-5-8-3-7-4. Yeah, it was a flathead straight eight and I was 15 years old taking my first auto mechanics class at school.
