Nice truck.  

I like the tool box.  I have a box on my 83' and I installed a underhood light that goes on when the lid is fully opened.  It's hard to find things at night when there is no light.

Nice truck.  Looks just like mine, except for the LS package and the automatic.  Yours seems to sit a little more level in the front than mine.  Did you raise the torsion bars any?  How tall is yours at the center of the front fender?

I have not cranked the torsion bars.... yet. I'm not sure if i want to mess with that or not. I'm a little worried about the "stiffer" ride. I will have to get back with you on the measurement.

Hey regcab,  just saw your truck... sweet!!, I just love that indigo blue.

 

 

Stepside Z,  thanks,  your truck looks awesome. My last truck was a '99 Z-71 (Ranchhand, 285's) I loved that truck...too bad i never got any pics of it if you can believe that.

I was wondering how the Line-X is holding up (wear & tear/ fading)?

I think that is definitely my next purchase for the truck.

Regcab, do you have a pic of the truck with the ranchhand front replacement. I want one for mine but have yet to see a reg cab with the full replacement installed.

Well, I've taken some pictures but havent' gotten them all developed.  I think I'm goin to get my friend to take some pics with his digital camera.  As soon as I get them,  I'll post them.  

 

I love the Indigo Blue also, but mine seems to chip/scratch easily.  When I wash it, it still looks dirty on the bottom of the door from all the chips and scratches.  I'm not very happy with this.  I'm going to take it to the dealer and see what they say.  My friends 95 Z71 doesn't have near the amount of chips and scratches on the bottom of the door.  I have less than 5,000 miles on it, but tons of scratches.  I'm not to happy about this.

 

I have some Zaino car polish and am goin to try this if the dealer does nothing about it.  I hope something takes the scratches out.

 

P.S.  Where in Texas are you located?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Disassembly may be Required!   Every blender makes claims but do  you ponder those claims? What was really said? Was it true?  Motive for saying it? What does in infer?  Is that inference true?    Let's do one.    Claim: Made from shear stable base oils.    What was said: Base Oils are shear proof.   Was it true: Yes.  ALL base oils are Newtonian.    Motive / Inference: To imply the fully formulated product is Shear Proof.    Is the Inference true?: Most fully formulated multigrade oils contain Viscosity Modifiers or VM's, sometimes called VII or Viscosity Index Improvers. There are four types. One is in fact shear proof but it also has a bad effect on extreme cold flow and is restricted to use in specialty oils. A second has limited shear called a 0-5 SSI polymer. Meaning its shear is limited to a range of zero to five percent as reported by the ASTM D6278 Shear Stability Index test. A few high end oils, like Torco SR-5, use them and brag about it profusely. Actually all that use it point it out. The last two shear dramatically and are often marketed as a 'feature' of the product aiding the oil to meet fuel standard requirements of ever stricter rules. One shears more than 5% and the other up to 20%. As you make guess, cost is directly linked to shear down and as such the majority of oils use the cheapest organic polymers sold to make grade and pass stringent tests.    PPD's or Pour Point Depressants also shear a bit, only a few percent and hide inside the 0-5 SSI capabilities.    The blender knows he can not out engineer Stribeck. Physics is not a suggestion. But he can wordcraft the unsuspecting toward believing a false claims INFERENCE. This is LEGAL. It is COMMON, and it is EFFECTIVE.

      2006 Silverado HVAC sensor location in dashboard

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I don't recall ever dealing with one on an '06 and back. It may not even exist on that. I can't remember for sure.   Any kind of ice in or after the evaporator is normally due to low charge with both a clutch-cycling orifice tube system, and a TXV system.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Engines wear. It is unavoidable. So the question isn't if it will wear out but rather WHEN it will wear out. That question is about rate and RATE is a HUGE problem for almost everyone; but not in the way we may think.    Unless there is something drastically wrong with your powertrain, wear is exceedingly slow. It doesn't wear out in minutes or hours or days or months but in years or even decades. Ditto sludge and varnish. Humans are an impatient lot so to see the benefit of a truly superior product you may have to wait a very long time. Most will get bored first and trade before they reap the benefit.   Humans are not companionate creatures when it comes to those we do not know. We don't care what happens to the second or third owner as long as it doesn't happen to us or someone we know and actually like.   Sad commentary on humans but it is what it is. That thus, then, there is no advantage...to or for you if the above paragraphs adequately describe you.    BUT if you are a buy and hold type and patient enough to reap the rewards of your labors then that thing that is happening that you haven't yet seen, but will; can be abated by such products. Seals harden and leak with time and lots of it. Rings stick after thousands of miles of a slowly building plaque of varnish.    Then there is this. This didn't happen over night and this poor fellow knew when he removed the cover and not one second before.   Not "aware' isn't the same thing as "isn't happening".        The above was typical of the Ford 361 and 391 bus motors on Bulk Pennzoil Mineral Oil products on 3K mile OCI's at about 60K miles back in the 60's and 70's at the Anamosa School District when my Uncle took over their maintenance program.    This is Pepper at @ 165K on 5K OCI's using Group IV/V Full Synthetics.      HM oils will help the first but not the second.    Then again if one used..... ah, ya know.....

      Awesome you got it sorted! That's a new potential issue I'll have to mark in my book of issues. Thanks for the feedback.
