No worries man. I wasnt clear with what was going on. If it bugs me enough i will eventually swap the entire column for one with tilt lol

Is that miles or kilometers?

Is that miles or kilometers?

Kilometers my Diesel is around the same amount as well. Both trucks are on their second engines. The Diesel has a rebuilt 4L80E in it and if i keep the K3500 long enough it will get a rebuilt TH 400 most likely with a RV or Towing type shift kit. And i may eventually pick up a new 350 short block for this and rebuild the heads to go onto that along with a RV cam and possibly an edelbrock intake to give it a bit more grunt. The thing im trying to figure out atm is which grille im going with. Either a brand new version of the current one or a 94+ GMC or Chevy work truck grille
