What did you do with your truck/shop today

[Mckenzie]

Always liked the K-5's. You have a link from craigslist by chance? Would like to see what the beast looks like!

 

It's only had 2 owners. Paperwork on everything done to it. Has locking hubs,350,auto trans, very little rust. It looks to be in dam good condition to, might be able to get it for 3k

I'd skip headers and just drop in a 6.0. That kind of power will really make that beast come alive. I'd dig up the thread on BBP's blazer.

With a 6.0, he will really want headers then.

This picture is a couple of weeks old, but I am new to the site and have not really done anything with my truck recently.

 

Hauled 4 loads of fill dirt. Good thing I have the air bags.

Talked to the guy I deal with at the dealer. Quoted me 880 for labor for them to pull and install front diff. as well as tear it down and rebuild it. That is not including parts. He then quoted me 600 if I brought it in and they rebuilt it. I think I'm just gonna let them pull it. I'm tired of.getting under this truck. And if it messes up, then it will be under warranty and I won't have to pay again. Learned my lesson, and it cost me probably $1000 plus the cost of this rebuild. Geezz...

Ouch! What happened the first time?

[SarahsGMC]

Trans is fixed for now... But those couple times I drove it bypassing 2nd messed up the 3rd gear clutch and some internals so it needs a rebuild yay!

 

I'm looking into buying a used low mile trans from this reputable place he referred me to I'll see what they have and have it built up if not I'll have him rebuild mine. But the plan is to drive it until February and use my tax return to go all out on it.

Shop I went to first time didn't set it up correctly and kept telling me it was different things, and I kept believing them at first. So now I have new front hub bearings and replaced a tcase just for fun lol

If you're getting a significant tax return without owning a home or having children, you're paying too much in taxes. Fix your withholding level and stop giving the feds an interest free loan and spend your money now instead of in February.

 

In California this week. Visited a Tesla and a McLaren dealer today. This is the engine from a 12-C:

Where in Cali are you Mike? When Zane, Josh, and I went to dinner Thursday night, we saw a 12C that was a company car
