Just installed a larger transmission cooler on the SS, B&M 70274, and I put a new windsheild in last week! I'll post up a thread with pics of the cooler install in a while.

How clean is your truck staying matt? =p still lot of puddles here and there, gonna wait a week or 2 for mine!
-
Haha it won't be clean for long tomorrow! It's clean for the moment still because I haven't driven anywhere! Haha and your right in a week or two the roads should be much better can't wait to get my other cars out!
-

I sure hope not I havn't had the best of luck with it! Me and my friend just gave it a full detailing after I replaced the water pump and belt so maybe it will feel better now.. LOL
-
It will . I gained 100 hp just by detailing. lol looks faster anyway
-
Haha thats for sure
-
Would it be a bad idea for me to buy a MP112 and put it on the SS as a DD? Truck is mostly stock otherwise...
-
Going to switch the SS to Mobil 1 synthetic tomorrow.

I love amsoil too, but can't find any close. Had to order online. Put it in my front diff when I rebuilt it.
-
I've never looked for Amsoil around here but maybe I will next time around!
-

-
Replaced both my heated seat elements today on my drivers seat, so now I have a heated seat again! The old ones were burned/shorted out bad!

YOU SHOULD MAKE A HOW 2 ON IT. you have any part numbers for it?
-
DORMAN Part # 641106 is the back rest and DORMAN Part # 641105 is the seat bottom. There pretty seat to change. I'll see if I can make a How-To in the how to section later tonight.
-
any luck with the how 2?
-

Doesn't leak and looks great. Cost me $180, I know the glass is cheap by itself the install is expensive...
-
COngras Matt, i hope it lasts ya more than a year.. mine needs 1 aswell from the alcan trip still
-
My last one lasted from 2009 to 2011 so about 3 years! Not to bad and when I bought the truck in 2009 it still had the factory GM windshield.... lol
-
Got the transmission all installed everything back togeather get in hit the key and the starter won't engage, tested everything, replaced neutral safety switch on the trans and still nothing no power to the starter sol wire. Anyone ever have this problem?!?
-
Lost 3rd and 4th gear on the way home.... Limped it back in 2nd. RIP original 4L65E

How many miles did you have on the original?
-
Ya it sucks but I knew it was going for a long time. Lasted over 150,000 on the original factory transmission. I would say thats a pretty good life out of it and I still made it home! Plan is to pull out the orginal and keep it to build up later and replace it with a used one for the moment.
-
Damn. I'm almost there.
-
I think I saw a total of 6 Black SS's today while I was out driving around Anchorage.....

There is another black SS in my town, but he put on a pin stripe and put a huge coon dog box in the bed! LMAO
-
Shit man I live in anchorage and I got a silver birch silverado. SS clone but I haven't seen another. You seen me?
-
Never seen you before, I'll keep an eye out for you though!
-
LOL my front bumper and the frame are dragging in the deep snow that just fell!

Yeah it happens every now and then. I've got a similar setup but the stock chrome 20's with studded hankoook's. Works pretty good! I run the grey 20's in the summer.
-
I bet your truck is a beast with studded tires on it. Hell mine with just AT's does Awesome. As for the chrome 20's, you suck lol.... Ill get some eventually... when im less poor, spent a ton of money this year... ugh =(
-
Haha ya its pretty good with stud's especially on ice! I wish I had another set of chrome 20's for summer I've been eyeing some factory reproductions ones for a long time but I'm in the same boat $$ wise, I'm spending way too much on my 57 chevy project!
-
So there are two clones of my SSS that go to UAA as well as mine for a total of 3 Arrival Blue SSS at the same campus. Kinda funny, not all in the same place same time but still.

If I get the chance to park next to one I'll take a quick pic
-
thats wierd lol. whyd ya take your hids out?
-
Haha I took them out because one had a slight flicker that was driving me crazy! Haha, I might put them back in though in a couple weeks since they looked so good!
-
Heated seats just stopped working,turn on then turn right back off on both sides. From what I gather it sounds like a bad module under the drivers seat that controls both?

Yeah it sucks and of course it breaks in winter in Alaska... Anyways though Lefty I don't think its a fuse because they turn on then click and turn right back off. Thinking it could be a shorted element in the drivers seat or the module that controls both.
-
my driver's side does the same turn on and turn right back off thing, but passenger side works fine
-
the other day i started the truck up and it kept cycling through the heated seat levels then off then right back at it.. a day or so later it stopped and works fine now.. damn gremlins
-
