I met an ss owner that switched to mitchellin just to get a smoother ride.

I reread your post and it is the stop and turn bulb you need to look at. One of the filaments may be burned out in the bulb. This is the bulb I would change if you haven't already done so.

The tail and turn lamp has 2 different elements in the same bulb. One is for tail lights and the other is for turn signals. The stop lamp has one element and only used for stopping. Try looking at the bulb with the single element and see if that element's burned out.

I haven't fueled my truck in a while and need to think about adding fuel stabilizer. Will this affect the octane rating of the fuel? What do you think?

Maintenance at a Fabcon plant. Fabcon makes precast walls for Wall-Mart, Lowes, Builder's Square, Menard's, Gander Mountain, etc. I've worked at Magnetech, a body shop between jobs, and at an electric company where I made the prototype motors for Delphi for G.M.'s first electric cars and I repaired the bay door motor for the Space Shuttle after it failed to open in space. I commute two hours a day on my Harley or in my Neon. My truck never goes to work. My wife and I care for two guys in our home with cognitive disabilities. I'm lucky to be working and half expect to be laid off soon. I take care of the plant electrical, fab eqipment, repair our Mac trucks, and p.m. equipment. I have been really lucky. I do my fair share of volunteer work. My truck is the only thing that is for me and it will be the first thing to go if my luck runs out.

I feel bad for the guy. I should get him something. Does anyone know where to get soap on a rope?

Welcome to the site, fello Hoosier. Just remember salt and chrome don't mix. And Ziebart will keep out the rust.

Welcome to the site.

Hi. Welcome to Wal-Mart. Get your shit and get the **** out.

That sucks.

Nice truck. Looksm good.

I haven't read the whole thread but I just wanted to comment at the risk of sounding dumb. Last year in '07 I saw a new bodied SS with grey bumpers, bumper scoops, and SS badging by the Indianapolis airport. Now the dumb part. I've been looking for this truck at chevy.com and everywhere else and heard the sad news that chevy quit making them.

Love my SS. Got a lot of comps. at Indy 500 yesterday. Couldn't have taken the family in a Lightning. It still empresses me every time I take it out. I have drooled over other fast looking vehicles only to be let down once I got behind the wheel. The SSS is the whole package. Glad to have it.

I have noticed a couple of times, while fueling at night under the lights at a gas station, my '03 Victory Red changes color and has an orange glow. It's a religious experience. And during the day it is definitely red.

Check e.g.r. vaccume line.

I have a 2 1/2 magnaflo cat back, a huge muffler that acts as a y pipe, duel 2 1/2 rear exit under the bumper through huge 4x12 in. 'camaro tips'. Lots of comps. Quiet at idle but sounds agressive at any speed.

I like the chrome. But the lighter wheels will handle better. Unsprung weight.

That's it. where can I find one.

I've also seen it on e-bay under license plates. I have a chrome plate with raised red letters reading "SILVERADO SS". Can't seem to find another one.

That,s awesome.

It was done at a good local body shop. Insist on GM paint.

Mine was repainted courtesy of burnout king's insurance company. They sanded, shot the nicks with GM Victory Red, and re-cleared. Looks factory. Also has a diamond clear coat paint protection on it from Ziebart and shines like a diamond. Will upload pics when I become computer literate.

Rob, I had a sharp 78 Cobra with a junk 302. This was 15 years ago. I rebuilt a 351w from a 72 Galaxi. The heads were redone to 4v as they had the same casting. The crank was cross drilled. I assembled it with [excuse the spelling] a Lunati cam, hypertecnic pistons (no NOS), full headers, the 302 pan and Cobra covers. It already had a Hurst tremac. It had ladder bars and the biggest tires that would fit. It would lift the front end with the 8.8 and I would loose my line of sight. The 9 inch from the Galaxi would bolt in and it got sold with the car. I miss it as only a few of you may understand. I never realized its limit and for this reason it is probably more missed. Oh, it was n/a. As for the truck, it's a 6L AWD. I hear maggies are good on these. It will have to have headers to breath. I'm not looking to put a forged bottom end in it. I don't want destructive boost or a tune guaranteed to tear up my transmission or NOS. I'm looking for maximum speed at minimum destruction and will probably do a converter to make it fun. I'm still pricing it out. And I get offers. This guy has a muffler shop and I can get headers cheap. That guy has a converter from an SSTrailblaizer. I hear about this tuning guru in my area but he's busted a couple trannies and I'm not going to risk it. I plan on getting it all done in one shot and leave it to the professionals. Some big name shops do this but their prices are unreasonable. But it will get done.

I've had my truck for a year. It's an '03 with low miles and not so low a price. I just got on the site today. My goal is to make my truck faster than the Cobra I rebuilt from the ground up. I built a hipo 351 for the Cobra and never had it all out. I feared the car and sold it to my boss. Now I'm hungry again. I'm more of a salt flats guy than a drag racer. Speed is my thing. I'm in unfamiliar territory. I've traded the carborator for a p.c.m. I've been knocked down at my 30,000 mile service but will rise again. Soon, I will have headers and a maggie and a yank and a tune and I will feast. This is my mission.
