I have some updates to post! My 2014 Silverado is finally at the body shop for the new tailgate and bumper, I'll be excited to have that truck back I haven't had it for the last few days and it sucks! I've been driving the work truck (05 Silverado 1500 4.8/4l60e/4x4/303k) but I think the...

I'm trying to improve on posting some more a little more often than I have been! I really do have a focus on the 1999 2500 more than anything though. I've needed a beater truck ever since I sold the 05 Duramax back in January. So with that said, since the last post I stripped just about all of...

I've got a few more updates from the last month! I've been slacking on posting lol The HD: I finished getting this truck back together and it is now drivable and I put 115 miles on it last weekend just driving it around, and honestly it did great! It rides so extremely rough without any weight...

So that concludes my major truck updates since June. There has been a lot and even littler stuff I didn't post about (1994 GMC Sierra that was in my shop for a bit for a dash harness replacement that was an utter nightmare was one). Even everything going on in my life since about October has...

Duramax Trucks!! Even more exciting news. So I ended up selling my now former coworker James my LLY Duramax in January mainly because I was in a very serious relationship and I wanted to start selling off some stuff as I no longer had much time for shop stuff. I was pretty bummed about selling...

My GMT800 silverado cobble together project So this started with a 4L60e transmission that I sold for $400, which in turn I went down with a buddy to Missoula to pick up this absolute unit! It was a 1999 1500 ECSB 5.3/4L60e with 448k! The truck was thrashed, had a miss on one cylinder...

2014 Silverado 5.3 The only reason I even have this truck was due to my now ex-girlfriend (Darya, if you're reading this ever in the future - I still love you and your girls). I actually was super super hesitant to buy this thing but she wanted me to have something nice that wasn't beat and...

Next up, the crew cab HD! So this one is exciting. Back in October my buddy Gavin sent me a link to a copart auction for a 1999 GMC 3500HD crew cab with a 6.5/4L80e and ... of course I had to buy it! Ended up after fees spending $2033 on the truck. I had to make a super long trip to Billings...

The 91: I actually had bright plans for this truck, but at first it was a headache. I swapped in a 350 / nv4500 and come to find out when I installed the nv4500 I managed to bust up the clutch disc so ultimately I ended up putting the original 5LM60 back in it with a new clutch and it was fine...

Gosh it's been a while. I have a lot to update on here and had a sudden urge at 5am to update! Multiple posts incoming! The Gamburban: I managed to get it together in time for the trip, and the only test drive it had was a 5 minute drive that other Gavin took it on while I was in the shower...

Well this go around I have may updates for the Gamburban! Since the last post I have dropped in the engine and transmission and bolted them to the frame. I ran into an issue where I needed an adapter piece that goes from 1" to 13/16" to use a vertical oil filter and unfortunately this put me at...

Weekend update that I posted on Wednesday night, tonight's update will be a following post. Started out my weekend by bringing home the same trailer that I used to get the Gamburban to do some welding repairs. Unfortunately this trailer is just pretty beat. All the previous repairs done to it...

Intermediate Steering Shaft and Rag Joint Replacement: 1994 Chevy C1500 (Borgeson 000936)

I put a borgeson shaft in my old 07 2500HD and it was a nice improvement although expensive. However for those looking for a cheaper alternative use a 80s/early 90s Jeep XJ Cherokee steering shaft, use a torch to melt the nylon in the middle, and split both the stock truck shaft and the xj...

Thursday update! Suburban post mostly (about three of them!!!) So last Thursday (a week ago) I tried to do what I could to unseize the engine in the 89 suburban (which I'm now calling the Gamburban) by removing spark plugs and trying to spray in PB Blaster. The harmonic balancer bolt just...

Here's a quick midweek update. I found a truck bed for my duramax that popped up on Facebook Marketplace, and she was selling some GMT800 body parts that looked like someone put time into them for a project, and they were cheap enough and honestly I thought that maybe she was in the middle of a...
