  3. My RPM needle was acting up this morning. And my oil pressure gauge dropped all the way to 0 when it was idling outside. Kinda weird. May be time to get ahold of Steve for a cluster rebuild.

      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.

      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. ;)

      Tough situation but I think your doing the right thing.

       

      I'm curious as to what your noise winds up being.

       

      Good luck. Hope you beat out winter.

      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.

       

    3. MID12sSSS

      MID12sSSS

      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...

      "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.

      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

    4. JC03SS

      JC03SS

      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

  21. Took the truck out for some exercise at -20 degrees. It's amazing how responsive it is with 12 degree IATs. Lol!

  22. Trans is done and i got my new 2bar SD tune from Zippy. I have a busy weekend ahead of me. Transmission install with TC and FP, fuel pump, harness, injectors, shocks, hangers, 2 bar MAP and install tune. Should feel like a completely different truck!

      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.

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

       

  23. Truck is done and runs great! Drove it to work the last two days, but now its -40 and i have to wait for it to warm up again before i go out and start it. Break-in oil gets THICK in cold weather. Haha once i get a good amount of miles, ill switch to a full synthetic.

  24. 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... :(

      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.

      shawnss

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