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

    3. MID12sSSS

      MID12sSSS

      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.

  3. Woot! Scored a GemTop for close to nothing. Just gotta paint it from black to blue. Now I'm wanting an ISS wing. Ugh. Never ends.

      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!

  6. Ugh.. A new engine noise surfaced this morning. Sounded like a heat sheild was rattling or something. Very intermittently. Like every 15seconds or so. I pulled over and popped the hood... Dont think its a heat sheild... :(

      Hopefully it isn't major.

    3. MID12sSSS

      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.

      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.

      MID12sSSS

      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.

    3. joe hutch

      joe hutch

      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. ;)

       

    3. cmoney23

      cmoney23

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

    4. JC03SS

      JC03SS

      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

  18. Back from Arctic Man!!! Lots of riding, lots of mountains, lots of partying, and lots of babes! Good to be back to civilization though..

  19. Just got my new DJM hangers and SP shocks from NORCAL SS. Will be posting pics of the 2/4 after the new trans is in, the drop is done, and possibly might have my 22" Dropstars for the pics too!

    1. cmoney23

    2. BlueAKSSS

      BlueAKSSS

      I'm running those shocks on my truck and they work good, seemed like a big difference at first now its not as noticeable but still pretty good! Way better than original.

  22. Just ordered Belltech SP shocks and a 3in rear shackle kit, so now my 2/2 will be a leveled 2/3in drop. Thanks again NorcalSS.
