Please excuse my lack of knowledge...but is that intake an upgrade from stock or not worth the effort?
Thanks & Happy New Year to the SSS.com gang!!
-
Glad all is well with you & the truck!!
Looks like a very good job. Did the bed have any damage? What shop did the work?
-
thats very cool.......
-
Did the hub bearings Saturday & all is good now. Got both sides done in 3 hours. Have to tackle the dipstick next.
-
Yes play in the wheel! OK Thanks......I have Moog hubs waiting for me at Pep Boys. They wanted $175 I found them on summit and they matched the price $125 each.
I usually like to use GM parts if at all possible! Thanks very much for your replies!!!!
-
I think I might do both while it's all apart. I have 111K miles on the truck.
-
Gonna take a ride to make sure it's doesn't have a clicking sound.
OK just watched the hub bearing assembly video.....guess I'll do the hubs first. No leaking from the CV boots!
-
sounds and feels like a bearing.......I thought the bearings were part of the CV joint.
-
I might be interested.........shoot me a pm with $$ and when your thinking of taking them off. Thanks Dave

First looks like my CV joints are needing replaced. Have some play in the wheels more so on the passenger side! So figured I'd check the lugs and oil and I'd grease up the front end. My dipstick won't go back in all the way.
Any suggestions on the dip stick?
-
I wouldn't worry much about that. If your not finding any spots on the ground I'd just start taking it out on some day trips every weekend. Seals go dry I would think thats the only worry. Do a good once over top & bottom check wires, hoses & belts and then have some fun!

my clock is hitting 110,000.......I think this truck will be with me long time. I'll throw another motor in it if I have too!!
-
Well I'm late to the party..............truck looks great!!!

lots of corvette stuff, doors, body parts, off road exhaust covers, headers w/side pipes, hub caps, multiple sets of newer take off rims went cheap. A set of 4 went for like $60. Complete turbo set up for a 70's-80's blazer with exhaust manifolds. I missed what it went for. Holley carbs, intakes old & newer. Pedal cars and planes.
Had a room full of fishing stuff.......couple stuffed bears, deer heads, antlers.
-
mostly pretty cheap! Some of the really good stuff was top dollar.......most people didn't have trucks so the bigger stuff went cheap.
a nice 427 BB needed assembly $525 square port heads went for $$1100 3-muncie trans rebuilt $600-1000.
I bought a cool old machinists wooden tool box loaded with mics and dial indicator gauges & had a bunch of other stuff in it for $20!!
-
it was a rough morning weather wise. I spent the AM at the auction next door. Speed shop went out of biz.............bought a few bargains!!
Afternoon was much better, rain stopped. Drove into a monsoon when I hit NJ......could barely see past the hood at times!!
-
I am going up early!! Are you gonna show your truck?
-
How about those Pens...........city must be going crazy!!
My Hometown.........

That sucks........how much do you have in them with the coating?
I went with ARH and they are still looking like new.

New tune is in!
I had an issue with plug wires and a broken ground strap. New wires installed and I fixed the strap. Runs great!
I don't like that it kicks down to first if I mash the gas at like 30 mph. It won't kick down from OD with light throttle.
Just wants to gradually accelerate so I have to hit the pedal more until it kicks down. Very minor!
I will address it when I make the next mod.
-
Went to put in the new wires truck was running rough and had a slight miss.
One plug wire was hanging, and another had just a couple wire strands holding it together.
When I replaced my coils due to running rough the same plug wire was off. The rear one on Pass side.
This a common issue?
As I was doing that I noticed the ground from hood to firewall was broken.
Fixed that and with the new wires the truck is running great again.
Installed Zippy Tune last month.........couldn't be happier!
