  1. MAY 4 2013 BOWLING GREEN SS NATIONALS!!

    in Events, Gatherings, & Rallys

    Posted

    I made this event both prevous years Tony invited us truck guys. KC was great to meet all the other silverado ss guys and like Tony said put some faces to the names. I was the only truck to show up in WI....and that sucked that we could not get people together. I need to talk to the "old man"(Joe SS Muscle Truck) to see if he is in and if so we'll have 2 trucks coming from WI this year. Another WI member has also said he's interested so hopefully we can get 3 SSS driving down there.

     

    I'd make the drive but my sister is getting married that weekend... and I'm in the wedding. Hopefully next year?!

  7. intimidator sss 4x4 swap/lift?

    Might get more help from a 4x4 truck site... notice there's no "off road" section on this forum.

     

    Intimidator SSS's are hard to come by... you're lookin at a lot of work. If you're not lookin for speed but 4x4 with SS styling, why not just get a 4x4 and make a clone? You would get more for your truck before you mess with it.

     

    Don't give me crap for my "opinion" either - I don't care what you do and I use my SS as it is too- a truck. I'm no help in the how-to part. good luck.

  9. Confused, leaking NVG149 T/C

    Keep me posted on your progress. Feel free to contact me if you need additional assistance. Thank you.

    Well, I still have a pretty bad leak from the rear output shaft seal. After a 4 mile drive it's about empty and has sprayed all down the underside of the truck. My yoke looked ok but that was going to be next in the troubleshooting... then if that didn't work they wanted to pull the T/C and rebuild it $$$$. I couldn't justify another lump in labor costs after the seal didn't fix it.

     

    Analyte - keep me posted if your yoke does the trick... I might be more willing to jump at it then.

     

    My transmission is just as old - I'd be tempted to try and find both new/built transmission and transfer case and be done with it. I don't plan on getting rid of the truck for a very long time. Any recommendations?

     

    For now, I elected the cheaper route - bag of oil dry for the puddles and a few quarts of fluid to top it off once a week or so.

     

    The fluid leaking after dealer service is sorta clear, almost like new motor oil. I bought GM Part #88861800 Manual Transmission and Transfer Case fluid from the same dealership's parts department that same day using my VIN and that fluid is red. My question now is, am I using the right fluid? Or could the dealership have used the wrong fluid? post-18170-0-29568900-1354089630_thumb.jpg

    I'd had my drivetrain serviced earlier this week and now my transfer case is leaking too - I'm back sitting at the stealership right now. Rear output shaft seal is puking fluid all over underneath. They're telling me it could just be the seal or the yoke or bearings are bad.

    "With such high mileage on an older vehicle are you sure you want to fix it or get a new vehicle?" I hate that lazy sales-pitch.

    I'm ONLY at 198,000mi on an '04 and YES I am keeping the truck and want it fixed. I'm having a new seal installed now. Hope it stops the leak, my DD is on the fritz.

     

    I see you've already had your T/c rebuilt and your yoke/seals look good...and you're in a newer model truck... How much do new transfer cases cost if we can't figure out our leaks? (No other issues)

     

    I had a wicked vibration and narrowed it to a bad u-joint. Just my 2cents.

    Sorry I'm more questions and ranting than help,Goodluck!

  14. Parking

    Happens all the time :rant: ...

     

    I had parked at a Burger King away from everyone, next to a light pole. I was one foot out of the truck and an older guy comes whipping around in a dodge caliber hauling a trailer...turning left... but looking right... and swipes the ass end of my truck ripping the fender off his trailer with my bumper. :idiot:

     

    It would've been even worse without my 2" ball sticking out of the hitch :angry:

     

    I hate stupid people.
