    Solid low end torque after more tuning with the shorty headers. Small cam goes in this winter. Currently 193hp @ 4,600rpm and 260tq @ 2,400rpm. So yeah that resonator box on the intake with "Vortec" written on it. Did a dyno run with and without it and zero difference in power or...

    So I went to replace my dual steering stabilizers? The original owner said the dealer installed them with the lift kit before he bought it in the fall of 1997. No idea who made this kit. I had been hunting for part numbers because I wanted new shocks to replace the rusty black ones. Ended up...

    2.5 inch. Factory off the manifolds is dual 2.75 for the 2500 and 3500 trucks but with only a 350 i figured downsizing the tail pipes to 2.5 wouldn't change anything. Yeah i've head piston slap and this wasn't piston slap. Thing had been beaten hard without maintenance. The EFI-Live tuning...

    I was hopeful but the truck I was gonna use for parts even though it had low miles it turned out to have a bad motor knock and I quickly lost interest. Gonna just go back to the original plan: add headers and a mild cam. Exhaust was done at a local exhaust shop. Mufflers are Hush Thrush...

    I used Chemical Guys V series polish with a buffer to get the shine back as well as remove the scratches and swirls. After that used their glaze topped with Jet Seal to protect the paint and keep it shiny. The painting was done with a gun in a garage with exhaust fans. Sanded, cleaned...

Was originally gonna just replace the body bushings and call it done but With some help I'm gonna take a week off work this winter and pull the cab and bed off the frame. Blast/Spray the frame, new brake/fuel lines, and the block sand...

    I was miss informed that it had 4.10s and found out after digging through the glove box that it has 3.73s.

    Decided to Color match the bumpers. Don't see a lot of OBS trucks like this and I dig it. Also dragged this 40 miles through the hills. Scale had us over 13,000 lbs for the whole circus. The 3.73s were tough on the really steep country roads but it was fine.

    Got my Mag-Hytec trans pan in the Mail ordered direct with the extended filter. Was pleasantly surprized to find out it already has a tap for a temp sensor at the back of the pan. There is a debate about whether or not to put the sensor in the pressure test port or the pan since the test port is...

    You're right, two days later I saw it with straight pipes and he was dumping the clutch leaving the gas station.

    Aunt was selling this. 1 owner, 1997 K2500 Vortec 454 with a 5 speed NV4500. I seriously considered purchasing it cause I really want a big block 5 speed, but it was too nice to make into a parts truck. Young kid ended up buying it.

    Got my gauge installed with power run to it. Just waiting on the Mag-Hytec trans pan so I can hook up the temperature probe. The interior is all back together finally. Sound deadener in the doors, floor, and roof has this thing super quiet. The burgundy color isn't my favorite but with...

    Not a huge fan of the black bumpers so I'm going to get them color matched. Overall I like the clear liner below the trim. You can see that it has a bit of a matte finish, but it will protect it from rust and rocks. Dyno tuned with EFI-Live it to the tune of 184hp and 242tq at the tire...
