    Finally got some decent pictures of my Silverado after a full detail

    Haven't been on the forums in forever. Ive been busy with a lot of things but finally took the time to clean my truck. Over the past month I pulled the bed and cleaned the frame and painted it. Then I took the 4x4 stickers off the bed side and claybared, compound, polished, and 2 coats of...

    Few new pics of my lifted Silverado!!

    I haven't posted any pictures in quite some time on here. I have been super busy with other things and haven't had any time to get on the forums. The truck is still my daily and running strong with around 210,000 miles now. Some of you may remember me but if not I will post an older picture of...

    Looking to buy a cowl hood, any suggestions on brand?

    I want to get a custom 2" cowl hood for my truck. There are several on ebay for pretty cheap and other websites too. I was wondering which brand you guys go with for the best fit? Cheaper would be better but if I have to spend a little more to get a better fit I don't mind.

    New toy!

    Well I just got this a few weeks ago but haven't had any time to post any pictures. It's a 98 Tahoe 4x4 rust free from Arizona which is a big plus here in Ohio:) I already added the billet grill, clear headlights, and white bowtie, and the escalade wheels that I had laying around. Want to do a...

    Hard starts after sitting and when cold..

    My truck started good all summer. Now that the cold weather hit, it has a hard time starting. It will start but usually takes about 2-3 tries. The weird part though is after that initial start, you can shut it off and it will start great as many times as you want it to and will continue to...

    Time for a different look??

    Well I was bored and decided to go along with the whole plastidip craze. Painted the grill and added a polished billet bowtie and painted the wheels. I really like the black grill, I am not really a fan of the black wheels though..Also, the truck is dirty I will wash it and take more pictures...

    Put the Spintech's on and it sounds terrible :(

    I am tired of this. I really just don't get it. I found a few videos of Spintech Super Pro Street 9000 mufflers on a 99 tahoe and loved the sound. I ordered the two mufflers and put them on, and it sounds way worse then the flowmaster super 40. It is raspy, anything above 2200 rpms and crackles...

    CherryBomb Extremes??

    Ok I am tired of going through different exhaust setups. I first had a magnaflow di/do muffler that was WAY too quiet for me. Then I took that off and put on a flowmaster super 40 di/do and didn't make much of a difference. Then I put thunderbolt highflow cats and that made it a little louder. I...

    Well it took awhile but finally got a much needed full detail on my 98 Silverado. Claybared everything first, then went over it with menzerna super intensive polish, then werkstatt prime strong, and 2 coats of werkstatt sealant. All using my porter cable 7424. First are a few before and after...

    I was just getting ready to order some thunderbolt cats for my truck and noticed I have an option between ceramic or metallic. The metallic ones are almost double the price. Is it worth it to get the metallic or with the ceramic ones be fine? Ceramic Thunderbolt Cat Metallic Thunderbolt Cat

    First Magnaflow, Now Flowmaster and...

    IT'S STILL QUIET! Well the magnaflow was silent at idle, cruising, slow acceleration. The only time you could really here anything is if you really got on it. I wanted something louder so I went with a di/do flowmaster super 40. It is a little louder but no where near what I was hoping for. I...

    Wanted: 14 Bolt SF Rear end

    Looking to upgrade my 98 Silverado 1500 4x4. I currently have a 10 bolt with 3.42s and would like to upgrade to the 14 Bolt. Would have to be somewhat local because I don't want to deal with shipping costs. Looking for it to be in Northeast Ohio.

    10 bolt vs 14 bolt??

    Ok I have a 98 Silverado 4x4 lifted 6" with 295/75/16 dynapro m/t which equal out to be just over a 33" tire. I unfortunately have a 10 bolt rear end with 3.42's :thumbsdown: The next step in my build is to regear because I would eventually like to get some bigger tires and even with the ones...

    Excess end play..what do I do?

    I jacked up the truck today to install the centers on my wheels because I removed them for the winter so they wouldn't get rusty. Anyway, I was getting ready to take off the rear passenger side wheel and noticed a lot of in and out play in the axle. I know I have read that some play is...

    Snow storm=cool pictures!

    Well last night it was raining and woke up today to quite a bit of snow. Mainly all stuck to the trees which is a good photo opportunity. So I grabbed my camera, jumped in the truck and took a few quick pictures. I was pretty happy with how they turned out. Although the look a lot better in full...

    A few winter pictures!

    Well this is sad..hate to see my truck like this. Looks like I will have me hands full in the spring to get it looking good again. Also, I never usually leave it like this. It is at the carwash a few times a week. A quick photoshop I did... Here is what it looks like now...:nono...

    Rust free 96-98 Passenger Door

    I need a rust free passenger door for my silverado. No rust, dents. Preferably black :) I am located in northeast ohio so any where near that. I don't want to even think about trying to get one shipped. Just thought I would ask on here. The junk yards have them but they are all rusted. Let me know!

    Those of you with dual exhaust..need your help!

    I am going with a magnaflow di/do muffler and was just wondering how you guys ran your pipes. Did you remove your spare tire or did you just go around it? I want it to exit out back not the sides. Any pictures would be greatly appreciated!
