    The Build of My $200 Dollar Truck

    Hey dude. Your truck is looking great. One day I will spray mine the right way with the original dark blue color. I have a question. My brother just bought the identical same GMC truck like yours but in red. He did a 4/6 drop but with the front he did spindles and Springs. He will be using...

    Gen V 4.3 (LV3) in a 1993 Cheyenne

    Dude, if you are talking crate motor, yes you will paying up the a** for them. If you are talking about LS1 aluminum block, yes you will pay up for them. If you talking about 6.0 same thing. But less desirable used 5.3 and 4.8 are everywhere. Local LKQ U pull It's have them. Or you can simply...

    Yup, I believe that moral should be held up to all companies large or small. Take care of your employees, they take care of you, after all if it wasn't for them you can't make any money !! You are doing a great job. Sent from my R1 HD using Tapatalk

    Gen V 4.3 (LV3) in a 1993 Cheyenne

    Take a look at your local junkyards or check www.car-parts.com. 99-02 4.8 & 5.3 were drive by cable, easier to swap with. 6.0 is the way to go but too $$ for them. You can also look for a crashed donor, which would be ideal. Miles really do not mean anything to these LS motors, so anything under...

    Gen V 4.3 (LV3) in a 1993 Cheyenne

    My truck has sentimental value as well. It's a 1994 c1500 W/T plain jane single cab short bed with manual windows, no cruise, rubber floor and a bench. It went from a bad 4.3 V6 to a 5.3 LS motor. 4 years later, I still have it and drive it. 12k miles since the swap. Sorry but just trying to...

    W/T headlamps question

    Spend the money and get better ones. I have those and they are not bright enough. 2 months with them on and the high beams stopped working. Get the more expensive ones or swap out to the silverado trim headlights and grill. Then get HIDs. Alot better Sent from my R1 HD using Tapatalk

    The Build of My $200 Dollar Truck

    Looks very clean, nice work. Just my $.02, I would not completing leave the rails smooth. They sell anchors that can be put in stock stake hole location that you press on it and they pop open, press again and they stay flush to the body. I use my truck on some weekends to go to Home Depot or...

    Camaro rims on a lowered c1500?

    Yes, dust cap is too large, I can't fit the center caps on the front on my Camaro SS wheels. Someone mentioned to me about looking at other newer year OBS truck dust caps that have a lower profile, I believe Sent from my R1 HD using Tapatalk

    2001 5.3/4l60e swap into 1996 c1500

    Yes, I agree. The best thing to do to a 5.3 or 6.0 is to add a cam. That can give as much as a 50hp gain. Sent from my R1 HD using Tapatalk

    2001 5.3/4l60e swap into 1996 c1500

    That front clip will look great. I haven't done it yet, but a trans cooler will help out that trans. Burban is a heavier vehicle. Maybe try to look for a 4L80e for it. I bought an 04 Tahoe with a 5.3 as a daily driver. That thing weighs significantly more than my '94 C1500 short bed single cab...

    2001 5.3/4l60e swap into 1996 c1500

    I had to adapt my R4 compressor cause it's hot as Hadees down here in Miami plus the humidity. You sweat bullets from when I walk outside my house to the truck! Having a black paint job doesn't help either as it attracts the sun. It's stays cold tho, that's for sure Sent from my R1 HD using...

    2001 5.3/4l60e swap into 1996 c1500

    Looking clean dude. U keep the a/c ? Everytime I drive my truck I get compliments too. When people tell me what I got, they look at me all dumbfounded like if I was gonna say a 350. But then I say " a 5.3" then silence, like if I dropped the mic [emoji3] Sent from my R1 HD using Tapatalk

    2001 5.3/4l60e swap into 1996 c1500

    Tuner may have disabled the wrong O2's hence the readings. If rear O2's are deleted, you should only be getting readings for b1s1 and b2s1. Nevermind that, how's it driving ?? [emoji16] Sent from my R1 HD using Tapatalk

    Justin S's non GMT400 projects

    In the beginning of your swap, I was like why? Why drop in all the Caddy drivetrain and wiring etc into that side kick. Now I am Just like why not !! [emoji106] [emoji3] BTW, I heard those 3.6 are notorious for timing chain valve guides to go bad. Sent from my R1 HD using Tapatalk
