SkyHighColorado's 94' White Z71 Build.

[SkyHighColorado]

Bet that joker will start just by looking at the key after the big 3 and a new starter.

I hope so. My truck has been pissing me off lately with random crap going wrong and failing. Every winter its the same old same old. This time I spend the cash on a brand new starter and alternator, no rebuilt BS that lasts a year. The winters here seem to be brutal on my old truck.

Time to get down to business tomorrow, lots to get done. I have a lot to install. Starter, alternator, radiator, thermostat, flush, power steering pump & lines, seats, center console, big 3 ground and alternator wires, relocate some tbi stuff to the firewall blablayayaya

I think I will be selling my grey overhead console if anyone is interested. its in perfect shape.

Sooooo... what are you gonna do after lunch.....lol...

Pulled the Y-pipe and tail pipe to inspect and repair leaks and gaskets. Look what I found, proof you can never trust a shop. I will be grinding these welds down because they look like a 5 year old welded them and I need to check penetration, not to mention all the pinhole leaks in them!
getting the y pipe out was a little annoying with a lift kit.

New seats and console installed. I used caveman skills to get my exhaust back on and now I am waiting for my LED's to arrive then put the dash back together. Its coming along slowly. Still got to drop the tcase and replace the seal and replace from diff input seal. I start my new job at Vestas in blade production tomorrow so I will be busy, but hopefully making truck money
