The stretch belt sounds like a great idea. First time I've heard of this fix. Looks like you need a tool to install? (Tool is $23.00. Not too bad).
Gates, on their site, says feel free to contact them for help figuring out which belt you need. (Their current application chart doesn't say just which belt you need for the A/C. They also say that they are working on getting a better app page going).

Thanks for a great transaction Richard. Fantastic packing job you did.
Anyone reading this can be confident that Richard is a stand up guy and you can go into a deal with him with no worries.

Sounds good Rudy.
-
I'm interested Richard. Sent you a PM.

Seems I remember them going for $100 to $150 but my memory is a bit suspect. I think I paid Zippy $150 for a spare when I got the first tune done.

Thanks boss. No clue what to expect but I'll take any improvement I can get
Yup; Any improvement is good, huh? Keeps us interested in modding.

In to see what diff your headers make. Good luck. -
What kind of difference did you think the coilovers made?

I'm in for front and rear.

The least he could do is wash it.

Welcome to the site man.

Great story. Congrats.
:thumbsup: -
Good to see you checking in Dan.
Damm.. I shoulda joined earlier
Joining late wouldn't be such a disadvantage if the "how to threads" hadn't lost all those pictures when photobucket changed their policy. The original owners of these trucks really put a lot of time and money into figuring out what worked, in the way of mods on these trucks, and the how to threads made a lot more sense when the pictures could be viewed. Thanks a lot PB.
The original owners also had a unique and strong bond as they worked more or less as a group to figure these trucks out. Very few of those guys check in here any more. As Dan said, "These are old trucks and old technology".

The 17 was a better looking truck than the 18 and both of those beat the crap out of this thing.

Welcome to the site.

I bought a beater Silverado to do "truck stuff" with. Downside is that now I have two trucks to dump money in.
-
Um Im not sure why you would spend 160k on building a Silverado SS......
More money than brains?

PM'd you about the visor.

Thank you very much Johnny, Tony is awesome and so helpful.
Yes he is. He'll get you straightened out
-
I suggest you contact Tony / NorcallSS, (A member of this site). He's got contact info on his TBSS homepage.

I went to Car-ID for a rack/pinion and a power steering pressure hose for my 2000 Silverado.
Check and see if this looks right for your truck. It's late and I'm not going out to look at mine tonight.
-
Congrats on your new truck, I guess. Hope your luck with it gets better in the future.
-
Yep I took a new job here. I got out of the heavy trucks and back to the car business..... Were from the west cost so a lot closer to home. I like it here a lot. Love the mountains..... yeah it was a bit chilly in Wyoming!
The Camaro looks even colder than the SS. Congrats on getting back closer to home. That's a good thing.

You got it.

Hey Alan,
Did you turn the pulley's, (A wrench on the crank pulley), as you fed the belt on, or just man handle it over them?
