Nice!
I'm jealous of the headers, let me know if you don't want them anymore.
Keep it off the salt and maybe it will stay clean

Does it have an air pump for CA emissions?

Headers are staying put! I think it has an air pump, didn't look that close yet, but if it does, that Will be one of the things deleted with a computer tune.

Drove it to work on Thursday, with no issues. I will say I figured the big block would have a little more pep, but thats always fixable. I think louder exhaust should increase power on the butt dyno at least. The only thing I think I need to put attention into in the near future is a blower resistor, and something in the steering. the PO told me he thought it was the gearbox, but I haven't looked into it yet, but the steering is quite vague. My 89 has better steering! All I did at work was give it a wash, i'll look into the other stuff next week.

So I just added up all of the receipts from the shop the original owner took it to. Between 8/8/05 with 116557 miles and 3/26/15 with 185254 miles, just over $20794 was spent on this truck, and that doesn't even include the replacement engine!! Some of this includes a fuel pump, alignment, tires, door speakers, power steering hose, hydrobooster, rear bumper and all trim, ps pump, batteries, belt, door latches, full a/c system replacement, brakes, clutch set, various engine gaskets and sensors, tune up parts, plus more all in the last 60k. Man am I glad I can do work myself!!

Sweet ride man. I dig the 8 lug factory steelies with the black paint. Looks awesome.

I wish my 454 truck had a nv4500 I know that the auto really takes away a lot of torque when pulling my trailer.

It's a 98 like Pigpen so it has the EVO steering, with could likely be the cause of the vague steering.

My 98 k1500 had the same problem.

Never had a gmt newer than 94 so I'm sure there's plenty to learn, I'll have to look into it.

Sure enough, the pitman has a bunch of play. I'll probably do that and the idler , should help out quite a bit from the looks of it.
