  1. Know of 3 people with 5/5 drop, two of them have have 22" wheels. Not the 6inch drop rear you want though.
  2. It has indeed very much sir, thank you. I don't want to make a big deal but going through some health stuff so any inffo is helpful as my truck has sat a couple years. Thank you for the response sir. -A
  3. Off topic, I apologize. Fast4popper, I am about to due a rear diff service. May I ask which cover you have? I am completely stock and was thinking to change to T/A. I have a Dorman for short term use but am now questioning it. Just curious what cover you have? Obviously the drop makes our trucks have different drivetrain characteristics/results and I am curious what cover you have on the rear. I have a few other questions, but with the rear diff cover and if it is a T/A will answer the other questions. I was thinking a static drop next spring w/leaf springs which now has me thinking only stay stock height... I am sorry to ask an off topic question sir. Just looking for some help from a longtime member. -Andrew
  4. ^Words to live by bro. Been watching the Sox in the Series and the hockey season just started so that is a major help to get my mind off the melanoma, and when I found out the truck was going on the road my face has not stopped smiling. I am really starting to notice how fellow members on here do help each other. Thank you for the positive words, and thank you to D1, KC, and CanadianVR for really helping on pulling this thread together and quick. Almost done collecting all parts
  5. Thank you D1, PM sent. Your kindness has me at a loss of words.
  6. ^^Jason I will be in touch. Thank you for the response. Feel free to PM me, I have surgery tomorrow at 830am so will be relaxing on the site hopefully tomorrow or the next day. I believe our wires should be the same since we are the same year
  7. ^Yup, right on the spot. I forgot to mention that in the opening post, thank you Blick05SS. I just can't take apart the truck myself so I am pathetic right now...
  8. I am just choosing to stay stock KC. A lot have questioned me on why not to upgrade but 1 month shy of 8 years on the factory plugs, battery and wires is great for me (the battery was the demise and is why I am replacing plugs and wires also right now). Number 1 thing is to get the truck running with stock products. I know I could easily go with MSD, Taylor or Granatelli LS Motor wires, but I've just chosen to stay AC Delco. Thank you CanadianVR, I appreciate it a lot man.
  9. I had a picture of my speedo when my steppar motor went for the 1st time, it was buried way past 120mph. My friends kept asking how did I take the picture?
  10. So I am trying to get new stock AC Delco wires. Both the dealership and advanced auto they said I need to know what the last 2 ending letters of the coil packs are stamped with, it is either GG or HH. I researched both part numbers and one is 10.2" the other is 9 or right around their. Were certain year SS trucks' coil packs stamped GG or HH? Or any other way to tell besides reading/looking at the coil packs? I would like to know before I bring it to be fixed up, but if the only way is by looking at the coil packs then I may just have to bite the bullet on the extra cash, the AC Delco wires are twice the price at the dealership than advanced. I have also been getting bargain prices at Advanced due to bulk, just need these to figure out these coil pack stamps for the wires so I can get these fixes done.
  11. I may be switching to one of these instead, check them out you may like: http://tonneaucoversworld.com/bak-bakflip-fibermax-tonneau-cover.aspx http://tonneaucoversworld.com/bak-bakflip-f1.aspx
  12. Those are awesome, I've been golfing since I was a little kid.
  13. Saw a VR SSS lowered (seemed leveled out if not a 2/3), with rims (black multispoke with chrome lip). Waived to the person, was not in my truck. On my way east on 2A near Devens on the Harvard, Ayer, Shirley line at 3:54pm.
  14. ^^^^Those old school Mini's with newer M series powerplants are crazy! My mechanic use to do those. Love those little cars
  15. Check B&B (aka Billy Boat) exhaust. Quality is 2nd to none. Nice deep tone.
  16. done :thumbsup: , good luck man. Have to admit that black 454SS is looking real nice. You got my vote though bud.
  17. I was curious if anyone is running Red Line fluids in their SS? Anything from their Motor oil, Gear oil, Auto Trans fluid or Power Steering fluid. I was told by my BMW mechanic this is the best, he also likes Mobil 1 a lot. He said if I wanted to save a little bit of cash go with M1. But if someone has reviews or experience with Red Line Products I may go with them instead. The truck goes in to the shop in a week so as much input is appreciated. Thank you all in advance.
  18. Valentine1 for the win.^^^^^^ We need to start a list where people can put down the money for the product instead of just saying "I am in." I would gladly take charge of this but am moving so I cannot. I really really hope someone steps forwards and does this order, we need some pictures of the Shopman1 Bowtie on some trucks that have been on TOTM and it will bring interest I believe from newer members and others like myself who have had to delay or did not just do it at the time. Worst case I will try to do a group purchase next spring or summer. I would love a gold leaflet covered bowtie with the black SS graphic...lets keep it simple so the order does not get complicated ps Shopman1 I wish you were making the chrome brake duct molds still, same with the wheel well covers, just missed them when I joined back in 08 they are amazing products
  19. It honestly does not surprise me they have not allowed any of these plates. They are very restrictive here but always thought swapping the 55 instead of SS may sneak by.....still on the chase to purchase the rights to a plate that is the original "427 LSX" and "427 SS" tags from MA, owner is not willing to budge yet which does not surpirse me , maybe someday when I get those cubes he will sell them
  20. 95-97 BMW M3 as well as newer models, M5 also 88 or 91 325iX w/E36 M series engine transplant Porsche Twin Turbo 911 Corvettes
  21. Bad to the A$$. First DEI SS I have seen without chromes or other big rims. Rare setup. I am not into drops so much, but it looks great sir. :thumbsup:
  22. X2. Some guy had a dyno installed in the area only to be found illegaly racing at the track (non street legal cars) so he bit the dust. I have hopes of doing this when in remission if my barn allows Sad to see the Suberban SS go, I remember watching a vid or two of it wayyy back. I hope bigger and better things I hope steer they way to you sir!
  23. 400-450 IMO (not at the crank), and a very good tune for the tranny as not to grenade it (Tq management, shifting points).
  24. Well said, if the shop screws up we are shit out of luck. CHP definetly needs to be a sticky, but I do understand this is for the a truck with serious mods, just not bolt-ons. I know a spot that can do a 2wd dyno but I do not trust the shop, however I have found an AWD dyno about 45-60 mins from me.
