I played tow truck and pulled my buddy out of this bit of mud, the stock SR-A’s he’s running were absolutely useless. 20211f3ca1d4acd03b3c852371abacce.jpg

He's in there pretty good. How did he get himself into that mess in the first place. Definitely not tires I'd want to have on anything but pavement.

That’s near a campsite we were staying at. Decided we needed more firewood sometime that night. I suppose he didn’t see all the ruts already there, beer didn’t help the cause, or hurt it.

Can’t beat some free Craigslist’s finds! I just happened to finish my fire pit the same day. Lol.

Turned up the keys about 1 inch, got new kicks and of course an alignment.  I went with BFGoodrich KO2 275/270/18

Couldn't stand the "wood" trim so I wrapped these pieces in 3M vinyl carbon fiber.

Really easy to do and changed the whole look of the interior.

Where did you get the cover between the power bank/phone rack and cupholders?  That's nice to take some of the depth out of that console hole.

Installed OEM flip down on my 15 Silverado LTIMG_1052.JPGIMG_1053.JPG

The flip screen has a nice limo accent lighting on the sides, really like that.

Was it already pre-wired from the factory?

No, all wiring for the flip down and HMI was custom made by@pgamboa he will the guy you want to talk to about harness you need.

Replaced cabin filter with a new Fram Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter.  It was time after 18 months rolling with a Wix brand one.

    • 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.
