    well its a sad day guys. I traded lil red for a four wheeler and a PSE bow. in my defense though, the transmission was going. I had lost reverse 2 days ago and it was starting to slip quite a bit. the search begins for a 454SS. we gonna get crazy stupid on the next gmt-400!

    Trans shifting issue help!

    Ok so I had the truck is neutral overnight while doing a intake manifold gasket job. (Truck has to be in neutral to get cylinder 1 to tdc to remove distributor) and after doing said gasket swap. Truck does not shift like usual. I actually have to let off gas pedal for it to shift. And it's...

    Yeah I was sponsored by dc back in the day for Bmx. And I still from time to time get stuff sent to me. They're navy blue logos so they look odd on red but it breaks up the plain ness of it for now until I can get some z71 logos. My brother owns a vinyl shop so I think I'm gonna have him do a...

    What would be a good way to clean all of that sludge out w/I removing anything else? I really can't afford the amount of time it would take to do a full rebuild atm. Or would a 5.3 swap be cheaper?

    Then I finally got the stubborn ***** off. It was filthy as could be. I spent an hour cleaning and scrubbing with degreaser and wire brushes. Still have to do more of that tomorrow.

    AndyMpire LiL Red Chevy K1500 Build

    This was at the very start getting everything pulled off to get to some nuts and bolts. The cap and rotor were pretty screwed up. The plug wires were ok, but if I'm gonna change the cap might as well get some fresh wires too. The ignition coil didn't look to good either so I switched that...

    So I've been daily driven lil red for awhile now. She's been running really good lately (can't even it hear it running when stopped) last night on my way home from work @midnight I kept hearing a slight hissing noise. So I waited till the sun came up to investigate the issue. I tightened and...

    Soo I got bored and went 'splorin! Found some nice little mud holes along a clay dirt trail that wraps around some woods along side the Chattahoochee river. And of course another puppy pose.

    So here are some photos of when I did the TBI. Sorry I didn't post this before but pics were on my phone and I replied from my laptop on that last post. And I went to the range to try out a new .40 I've been wanting. Not too bad @30yds.

    AndyMpire LiL Red Chevy K1500 Build

    soooo I cleaned the fark out of the TBI. I mean it was damn near new lookin. I reinstalled it, using new gaskets (obviously). however I used some Loctite-style gasket maker and put it on and let it sit after I torqued the bolts for a proper seal. started it up, she damn near choked to death for...

    Who wants an offroad bumper!?!

    I'd be in for sure, however I've already ordered tubing and plan on making one for myself. But a matching rear bumper would be cool as well. Just a thought

    I received my headlights yesterday courtesy of FedEx. So this morning I installed them. I'll be doing the window motor later today as well. (wife wanted to go grocery shopping) here's some pics of the install and finished look. I also removed the plastidip someone put on the bowtie. And my dog...

    Who wants an offroad bumper!?!

    I'd say $600 is a fair price for a decently optioned bumper. It's in most people price range but its not a low ball either. I've seen some for $1900! I paid $1800 for my truck, why would I pay more for just a bumper? You know.

    AndyMpire LiL Red Chevy K1500 Build

    ordered some replacement headlights for up front. they were beyond saving. picked em up off RockAuto.com for $17 each. and bought some mint fender flares at salvage yard full set $40!
