A few more inches of snow and you will need to brake out the 4x4 ... Is that a Raptor ? We are still waiting for some of the white stuff here ... 64 degrees today - gone to drop into the teens later in the week.

My other ride is still a GM truck…

20150107_170601_zpsc0607b54.jpgMy 1991 C2500 project truck, plan on lowering it and swapping the tired 305 for something with more power, either a 383 or possible an LS motor…

My '02 Silverado with the 1917A1 belt-fed Anti-Tailgating tailgunner position installed.

I sold the '17A1 to buy the 2010 Camaro SS, then traded the truck for the new '14 Silverado a few years later.

 

The beltfed was fun, but it ate a $500 bill every time I went to the range.

I've had many rides, but now it's just my Vette, 2015 Silverado, and Cruze.

Looks great! I had a blue Cruze, have owned C1s-C5s, and still own a C3 ('72), and own a Silverado ('04, soon to be a '15 once it is built). Great looking rides!

 

 

I like the upgrades to the C6, any plans to make it a wide body in the rear?

May go wide body rear this fall. Putting down 400rwhp now, its going in next week for heads and some other go fast goodies. I'll make a decision after this summer. I've got the Firestone wide ovals for around town, but have a spare set of Nitto DRs for drag days. Vettes are just really fun cars to drive! Included an engine bay pic:

I've always loved Vettes. My 2010 is my 3rd one, and you're right... they are so much fun to drive! Especially if you're hittin' the twisties down around Eureka Springs AR in the early fall... THEY CORNER LIKE THEY'RE ON RAILS! :cheers:

 

PS... I love your coil setup!

    • 87 down as low as $5.14 here... winning!
    • Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

    • It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
