    My 1997, $1200, Z71

    Well I put it up for sale last week. And then decided instead of selling it I'd rather throw money at it. Ordered a new valance and hope that I got the right speed sensor this time. Big Purchase is tires. Im currently running 275/65R18s. Going to go up to 275/70R18s and I want some opinions...

    My 1997, $1200, Z71

    So.... I'm looking for some opinions of what i should do when it comes time to get new tires in a month or two. I'm considering pulling the body lift off this truck. Going with a 285/60R18s cooper zeons all the way around and dropping it in the back to level it....... Anybody out there done...

    Shuck Truck 97 Sierra

    Looking good man! I could go either way on the wheels probably just keep what you got. If you go with the rallies I'll suggest silver and use the trim rings. It would lighten it up some over the stock gray. We did that on a white 442 we restored and it looked great. Other suggestions would be to...

    Small Update

    Looks awesome man. I just ripped my old valance and tow hooks off yesterday. I may just go with that valance and never put the tow hooks back on. Thanks for the pics.

    '97 Z71: No shift at WOT

    You dont happen to have an exploded diagram or anything of this gear do you? I'm trying to get in my head what it looks like. And figure out how hard it would be to change if needed. To me it acts more like the gear is stripped out because it only fails under a lot of stress.

    '97 Z71: No shift at WOT

    UPDATE: So I havent tested anything, but driving the truck today i realized that my speedo problem isnt as random as i thought. When i drop down in to passing gear the speedo freezes until i lett off the gas. When right before the speedo picks back up and the tranny shifts at the same time...

    '97 Z71: No shift at WOT

    Something else i thought of. My Speedometer will stick sometimes, then picks back up. Maybe the VSS? I figure this weekend i'll clean the MAF, Test the TPS and replace if needed, and if neither of those help I'll replace the VSS. I'll update everyone after I run through all the testing.

    '97 Z71: No shift at WOT

    Fluid level is fine. I'll test the TPS sometime this week. Its a High Mileage truck no telling if when the Transmission has been rebuilt replaced.

    '97 Z71: No shift at WOT

    Been reading a lot of the sticky post, but haven't seen anything that is dead on as far as describing my symptoms. No gear will shift out at WOT. I have had the transmissino serviced. Shifts are good under regular driving. Down Shifts are clean. Should I start with checking the TPS...

    My 1997, $1200, Z71

    I got a multifunction switch (dimmer, wiper, cruise, blinker, ...) that should be in today. I am pumped up to have true dim lights! I have been riding around with DRLs as my dims since i got it! Hopefully that will get my cruise working as well. After the dimmer is in and working I'll be...

    Yep, thats my '09 G8 GT. And the other car in that picture is my '72 vette. That would explain why I can only afford $1200 z71 I gues. lol

    They are for sale if you want them! lol. I think the white letters take away from the wheel a little. Those tires dont have much life on them. I think blackwall out will help.

    My 1997, $1200, Z71

    Going back and forth on the gap guards. I pressure washed and sprayed the frame rails. You can see the difference in the pictures. Thatll keep me happy for now, but Definitely going to do the Bumper Relocator.... Got a couple quetions on that too. How stupid does the tow package look after you...

    My 1997, $1200, Z71

    Just so everyone knows, the pictures make the paint/body look much better than it is. Its presentable, but has plenty of problems. The front bumper is a little crooked and when they put the body lift on they really hacked up the valance. The front end is my next project. I am going to get some...

    Where to buy headlights?

    These are sweet. They look a lot better on the truck than they do on the ad.

    '97 Z71 Project

    Just picked up a '97 Z71 on the cheap. She is driveable but will need the motor replaced soon. Hunting down a few interior parts right now. I want to get everything working and cleaned up on the interior before I swap the motor out. They really hacked up the wiring for a POS cd player. If you...
