200 Z71 Pictures

Hey all,

 

I've been here for quite some time, but couldn't figure out how to post pics back then :cool: I figured it out, so it's about time I posted some! Here's my 2000 Z71. I bought it less than 2 years ago with 67K on the clock, it currently has a little over 95K (yeah, I drive too much.) It's a 3dr 5.3L ex. cab Z71 4x4. The best part is that it's about 3 payments from being "mine"!

 

The pics are from this summer after a wax job, a few months ago I added the brush guard, and the most recent pics are from November when I finished my '67 project truck.

 

Enjoy :P

Thanks fellas!

 

I feel kinda stupid, I typed 2000 wrong.... oops.... I don't think you can edit titles?

 

I love the 67. I drive it more than the Z71 now (I live close to work). I've owned it since 1996. It has a 350 and 700R4 so it gets very respectable fuel mileage. I'm getting about 13 city and 16 highway. The Z gets 15/18. The 67 was 100% homebuilt, paint and all. I did "buy" a crate engine and rebuilt 700R4, other than that, everything else was installed/modified/painted/etc. by me (with some help from my dad and uncle) at my uncle's garage (white garage in background.) I still live in the stupid apartment complex in the first pics :)

If that's the case then you probably don't wanna talk Mileage #s with me.

 

 

Those are some nice Trucks Man! :banghead:

Nice trucks, man!

 

I have a '71 GMC I drove for my first 2 years of driving that is sitting at mom & dad's returning to dust, been sitting there for 8 years. One of these days I hope to have some time & cash to make it look and drive new again.

    • This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.  
    • Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL? 
    • consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.
    • can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?
    • Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
