Nice truck. It's probably not something I would do to one, but it looks like you've done a good job of bringing it all together.

 

You said it's not quite where you want it yet... What's the ultimate goal for you on the truck?

i am trying to make it more stock since alot of the parts i dont have. im trying to make it looks nice. like getting gap gaurds, and bed rails, and so on.

 

its only a 350, i wish it was a diesel.

 

and when it rains it just kiinds sits at the bottom of the stacks and when i start it up a ton of black crappy water shoots out.

its got a really low echo sound to it. sometimes it hits the right rpm and it shakes the dome light out and makes every thign rattle its so deep. but im running mufflers in it right now but they can be taken out in about 1 min :dunno: .

 

im only 16 and this is my frist car (truck in my case). but im learning every step of the way. before i built this truck i had NO idea what half of anything was. now i know 100% more than what i used to know about trucks and cars in genral. this is a great project. my parents always say it keeps me out of trouble. Belive it or not i only have $2500 in this truck with all my accesories and tune ups and everything. :)

 

Plans for future:

 

Steering Stabilizer - Ordered Today (Skyjacker)

B&M Trans Tem Gauge - Ordered Today

Gap Gaurds - Soon

4.10 Gears - Soon

Elegant TYC Headlights - Soon

Dual Battery Setup - Could Do Anytime now......

Hey man when are you going to get a sound clip of your truck! You guys have done a great job with that truck!! Ever thought about getting those tractor like rain guards that flap up and down to keep water out? I dont know how they would work with your set up but I think it would be something that I would want to try!

      Gas Prices

      By Atlas · Posted

      I recall paying $5.00/gallon in 2007 as well, although, different circumstances. A severe windstorm followed by a rare ice storm knocked out power in our region for days. We had a gas generator keeping the fridge cold and our furnace on power, and fuel stations either didn't have power, or didn't have gas because deliveries were delayed because of the storms. Driving around, we found one station that didn't have power but had a sandwich board set up out front. $5.00/gallon. They were hand-pumping it out of the underground tanks. I'm not sure that was legal or even advisable, but we needed it, and they had it. So we filled up. I was just out of college, just bought our house. Times were tight so $5.00 felt really outrageous. Local supermarkets couldn't keep stuff cold so they were basically giving food away. Fridge/freezer cases were literally being emptied out before the food expired. Never seen anything like it before, and until this day this event serves as the boilerplate for our winter storm prep.

      Will not stay in Reverse

      Have you spilt anything on the console during ownership?  Water, coffee, soda, juice, etc.?   GM has been seeing contaminated console shift controls causing all sorts of issues.  Requires replacing the shift control.

      If it's something they cannot figure out they can contact GM. They have a case open for noise in the suspension and my whistling drivers mirror they cant figure out how to fix.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Thing is gorgeous! Definitely been a LONG time since I've heard that sound!      I wouldn't call myself a purist, since I'll throw Wilwoods and power adders on anything. For me, that engine makes me cringe as a former shop owner remembering all I've been through with some of them. Plus I hate LS engines for their oiling system (MANY places to lose pressure from, especially on the AFM ones which I wouldn't be caught dead with), and the dowel-less front and rear covers - an engineering decision that irks me to no end! And I despise electronics with every fiber of my being.   My main reason for avoiding modern electronics is that when they fail, they typically leave you stranded. Tied for 1st place is also the fact that sometimes troubleshooting super-annoying problems can suck the life right out of you. I've wasted so many hours of my life chasing gremlins on those in all kinds of vehicles. I find carburetors and simple HEI style components much more suitable for keeping my sanity, lol. Different strokes for different folks. I probably get more hate from the younger crowd for sticking with my old school ways of thinking than you would for doing an LS swap.   When everything's working, they're certainly a ton of fun!

      Scan Equipment for 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas

      By davester · Posted

      I have an Edge Insight CTS2 in my '04 3500, and find it works well.  Only real problem I have with it is the obdii connector will work itself free over time, so it stops working and also freaks out the trucks electronics for a bit.  Remove and plug it in and it's good to go.  More recently, I've taken to zip-tying it in place which also seems to work.
