Black Dog - 94' C1500 Vrtc 5.7 NV3500
Thank you. Sorry I didn't see your message. I haven't been on here in a bit; no work done or needed on the truck these days. The one I installed is AC Delco; thought it was the better choice at the time. Seems like Redhead and Blue Top are the highest recommended on here and are what I would...- Gavin

Black Dog - 94' C1500 Vrtc 5.7 NV3500
Installed Craftec bed cover. What a pain! Possibly the most difficult thing I've done to this truck. Definitely needed a third or fourth hand; also required a dremel, needle files, soft material mallet, and spend a few days charging up your patience reserves (none of which mentioned by...- Gavin

We're all in a hurry to get to the next stop light & some can't be bothered to just drive, let alone understand there are other cars around. Respect & civility only expressed when there are too many witnesses- Gavin

Black Dog - 94' C1500 Vrtc 5.7 NV3500
I can imagine. Drove to DFW Frame & Alignment the other day, that area is so different; I could sense the change in traffic attitudes. Spent 20+ yrs in Bedford; only wreck was the old 93' (close to Pipeline & Belair intersection). Been in W'ford for 5 yrs; been rear-ended 3 times & also T-boned...- Gavin

Thank you. It's being driven sparingly. I cruise it to work & back, not much else; drivers in Weatherford scare the $@!# out of me.- Gavin

Black Dog - 94' C1500 Vrtc 5.7 NV3500
Officially a truck again. Bed and bumper installed over the weekend. How many shades of silver did they have on these? Look close at the passenger seat and you'll see Black Dog at shotgun ready for his first ride.- Gavin

Can someone teach me about radiators and what will fit?
If you get one for a 7.4L, 3500, HD, etc. Make sure to not get the extended filler neck. You won't be closing your hood if you do.- Gavin

Black Dog - 94' C1500 Vrtc 5.7 NV3500
It has a face now. Truck is a 94, but I've had the 93 grille since back when the other truck was wrecked; and i like the older grille better. New accumulator & A/C lines installed, 5vortec7's headlight & fog light harness installed, bumper needs adjusting, but it was all good enough to get...- Gavin

Black Dog - 94' C1500 Vrtc 5.7 NV3500
Back at it finally. New bumper brackets, headlights, air baffle, soldering in new lighting connectors, replacing loom & will be installing 5vortec7's headlight harness with fog lights soon. I have a factory fog light switch on the dash, but no wiring up front. I assume the PO just replaced...- Gavin

Black Dog - 94' C1500 Vrtc 5.7 NV3500
Not much progress since I've been having to do house hunting and working on other two vehicles in the fleet. Spare monies has been scarce as well with down payment saving and getting new tires on all three this month. Just slapped tires on it today, so felt motivated to check something off the...- Gavin

Big 3 and Dual Battery Kits
Got the kit on the truck; works and looks great. I'd like to get an extra charging cable with the inline fuse for roadside emergency replacement reasons. Don't want to mess with fuse replacement on the side of a hwy. Let me know how much to send you. -
Black Dog - 94' C1500 Vrtc 5.7 NV3500
Took the spare tire for a drive through the country today. Celebrated the first 100 miles with a bath, another 50 miles for air drying, and a couple pics. Thankfully 150 problem free miles.- Gavin

Would someone snag a photo or grab the part number off this sticker on the left, please? Pretty sure it's the ac one. Putting new stickers on the new shroud and this is the only one I lack. 94' C1500 5.7 manual- Gavin

Black Dog - 94' C1500 Vrtc 5.7 NV3500
Drove it a very cautious 3 miles over to my house, finally, so I can begin working on the little tweaks in the engine compartment, interior and exterior stuff. Still have to hook up the ac, adjust the volant box, and tweak the timing just a hair. Thing runs phenomenal though, can't believe it...- Gavin

Black Dog - 94' C1500 Vrtc 5.7 NV3500
Got the modified tbi unit from SPR Performance and the, widely hated, Harris Performance custom chip installed. Finished up with the wiring for now. Stabbed the distributor, bolted down and plugged in the final little odds and ends. Primed the oil system, went to start it and... nothing. No...- Gavin

Black Dog - 94' C1500 Vrtc 5.7 NV3500
https://www.jegs.com/i/Flex-A-Lite/400/280/10002/-1 It's working fine for me so far, but it hasn't been really road tested yet. There will be some fitment issues with the lower radiator hose and a power steering line, and some wire hacking involved. It probably isn't a bad setup for a cruiser...- Gavin

Liland Global Radiator?
It's in my truck now and is holding coolant fine. The truck hasn't been ran any longer than 20 minutes yet. Air flows through well and hasn't come anywhere close to overheating. I'm hoping to get it on the highway, in some traffic, park it up against a wall, stuff like that to really test in...- Gavin
