MID12sSSS

Sounds like a plan.

An easy test is to find a buddy with a full size GM Truck or SUV from 03-06 or 07 classic and put the gauge cluster in your truck. See if you still have the problem.

mine went out to 0 and started working a couple times then went out an said low oil press. Got a new one 2 months later same thing..so i just unplugged it cause it kept beeping low oil press.

Haha yeah. This isn't something that will happen over night. I just wanted to drop in with a bold statement and make some waves. Lol. But I can say its gonna be a very busy winter! Thinking Gen IV 427 with a 6L90E. And topping it all off with a TVS 2300. Something similar to USAbodygaurds 427, without all the polished chrome.

I'll take your current setup then

Haha that's actually where I plan to get most of my funds from. The plan is to buy my buddy's silverado that has no motor or trans. Drop my powertrain in it and sell it for just over book. So with a 12K profit margin, and an SS that needs a new powertrain, I'll be able to build what I should have built the first time. Lol. I've got john guiding me on this one and I'll have zippy come aboard once I get into cam/head specifics and tuning. So stoked.

^^^that boi !!!

Just race to 100mph your AWD traction will destroy him out of the hole but once he finally hooks up he will reel you in and pass you but it won't be until about 100mph lol

I doubt he will catch you by 100. Slap that ass and when your done say that's for my boys over on SilveradoSS.com

X5 yes he been in and outa the hospital for a lil bit now

X6 your in our prayers bro

oh man what happened ive been trying to get ahold of him for a while now and never been getting anything in return no calls or emails. I kind of feel like a dick about it now after seeing this

Ill definitely let everyone know when Justin and I are heading down. Id like to meet everyone and check out your trucks. I just realized something funny. All of our SSs are Arrival blue except Justins (Fairbanks Justin). Lol. I thought blue was the rare color? Not black. Haha. But yeah. It'll be a great time.

80 swap?

Haha I think blue is the rare color but we all picked it!

BUT, ya never know. Sometimes it looks good on paper, but things don't always work out.

I think you will be surprised. Gotta get that thing to stick tho

Yeah. And i gotta figure out why im going lean all of a sudden. Fuel restriction/vacuum leak.. Gotta do some digging.

That's great news bro!!

Congratulation. Fresh power is good.

That's good new bro. Gonna be a beast

Id be surprised if came back and posted much after he is able to come back. i have noticed there is a few members that haven't been around at all since all the drama stuff.

Yeah. I took a small hiatus myself. I've been spending more time on other forums. I think Brian will have a few surprises up his sleeve when he comes back.

Haven't seen Alan since all this BS went down either. But, either way, seems like things are back to normal. It's definitely still a ghost town compared to before...

most def i feel ya on that

i must have missed something where did GMJake go?

^^Ban hammer......

Free gmjake

+1 free GMJake!!!

Lol. Yeah. It's getting old. But, what do ya do? I can't sell it, but I am getting tired of fixing it. I mean brand new built motor and trans with less than 3,000mi, and shits always breaking. But welcome to the world of modding right? Not like I'm the first to have 65E woes, but 3 in a summer?! Lol. It's always something. Hardest part is its my DD so I think its time I found another vehicle and save the SS for sunny days. Its gonna be a garage queen. Ill pull the trans an...

Whoops. Rambled on too long for a status comment. Oh well, you get the point. Ill keep you up to date on what gave out.

Keep us posted. GL maybe bite the bullet n go 80

congrats on it! Just beware of the rubber T gasket seal, they are known for leaking toward the carb if you drive during rain or washing the truck. Just want to give you the heads up, welcome to the Gemtop club!

*leaking toward the cab*

There's a gemtop club? Is there a gemtop forum? Can i be in even though mines a checkmate?

Bout time slacker.. Lol JK

Haha best part is, I'm scheduled to work the shop Saturday. But when its slow, ill be pulling my blower apart. Lol. It's the best I can do cuz I don't wanna wait another week to do it.

Sounds like a good plan bro get-r-done lol

Well, its not really anyones fault. Just sucks. The accumulator pistons and reverse input drum had to be ordered. They had everything else in stock. It all ships out tomorrow afternoon. So it'll be 2more weeks before my trucks on the road. Its STILL snowing here anyways. So i guess im in no hurry. Haha i just thought it was funny that PI had to make my converter from scratch and it arrived a week ago. PATC just had to take parts off the shelf, put them in a box, and ship it out. Haha.

was changing the tranny oil and got crazy with the air tool and whoop bolt broken in the trans

And for what i spent, i could have gone WAY bigger than just a supercharged 370. But its what i wanted. And now ive got the trans to put up with anything i plan on running in the future. Whether it be a TVS 408 or 427. If anything, throw a billet input and ouput shaft into my trans and ill be good up to 850hp/850tq. ;)

you cant take any of that cash with you when you die! So what the heck, spend it on the SS !

Haha. I'm the same way. I just keep putting money in and see no end near. I have a nasty engine build in mind. Gonna be pretty sick. But it's a half a year away

Make sure you seal that thing up really well. Last thing you want is a vacuum leak making you run lean.

Seal it? It came with a gasket, but would you run a black RTV or silicone too? Thanks for the input steve.

I think the guy that installed mine used the gasket and something called "right stuff", looks like a can of cheese wiz.

Nice and yeah post up a pic

Sweet!!

Cool. Got my second in two weeks! Lol

*Gaylord LOL

^^Lol. Haha im glad it doesnt have a big GAYLORD decal on the back of it. It should be pretty sweet. Damn Alaska though.. $650 in shipping costs for a $990 tonneau.

Nice that will be my next add on to the truck.

Probly the same people who tried to sell their cell phones for thousands of dollars just cause they had the flappy birds app lol

Dream on...35k for an SS thats damn near what they were coming out

I(n another 10 - 20 years it may be up to 30-35k again in low miles prestine condition

Hopefully it isn't major.

Well. Figured it out. Lol. A bearing was going in one of my 100mm idler pulleys. After X amount of revolutions, it hit a tough spot and bounce the tensioner pulley. Weird I know. But the noise was super loud in the idler when using a stethoscope. Remove the belt and the noise goes away. Spin the idler by hand and you can feel how gritty it is and how similar the tin can noise is when you spin it. So new bearings and I'm good.

well thats good news. I was bummed for a minute until I read the updated part.

^^^^haha .... Keep it on track get those iat down

I can't wait eeek

That's cool bro the trucks gonna love ya for that :-)

Didnt drive off very fast though i bet lol.

Lmao he's a hater

"Pious" (deeply religious : devoted to a particular religion. : falsely appearing to be good or moral.), owner's are definitely holier than us mere mortals. Just ask them.

The stadium and drag strip should be up in 2 summers. It'll be cool to see the circuit track take affect too. See all the exotics and sport cars working on their lap times!

Thats awesome lucky guy

Sweet

You guys need to get on it lol. Move south today was 82 tomm gonna be 80.

Haha its still 15 below here! And its middle of march! Bullshit!

Wow do you like it there that much? Or family and friends keeping ya there? Gotta be hard to deal with.

Buy another one bro haha

Haha no. I want a C6 Z06 so I can be like storm. Lol.

Haha they all migrated to Alaska

Well I'm jealous

Everything is boxed up and will ship out tomorrow

I'd be stoked, too.

That's gonna be sweet.
