Big ol' blue
So after a year... the 454 has been too damn reliable reliable for me to throw an LS at it (meanwhile, my LS powered race car has ate 2 short blocks, but thats a different story) I was getting tired of the low life, particularly a couple rocks I gotta bounce over to turn around a trailer in my...- ocanuck

I kind of want a 3/4 ton...
3/4 tonne all the way. Not just gearing, but also 4l80e vs 700r4/4l60e. The latter is a *car* transmission and has no business being in anything heavy. I sold a Duramax gmt800 to buy a 454 gmt400... IMHO gmt400s are slightly better trucks due to their simplicity. The gmt800 has a bunch of... -

Finally got the pig lowered... it went down about 3" in the front, 1.5" in the already saggy back. I think I'm going to raise the front half an inch or so for an even 1" of rake.... Swapping out the big block for an LS might just do that for me. Word on myEbay is that the LS6 cam that's going...- ocanuck

Shock options with a 2" drop on a 2500 tow pig...
I have 2" drop shackles under my 2500 suburban, trying to figure out what I should do for shocks... Extenders and Bilsteins 4600s? Belltech Steet Performance to match the fronts? It's not abnormal for me to have my 100lb German Shepherd and an LS strapped down in the cargo area and a 7000lb...- ocanuck

Replacement OEM light housings vs Crystal Housings vs Polish?
So, what's better? I think polish is going to discolour again quickly and between labour/polish kit, it is going to cost more than replacement lights leaving the question... What produces more light, better light... OEM housings or Crystal housings? I prefer the looks of OEM housings but might...- ocanuck

It's a 94 with 250k km (150k miles)... the seat bottoms were just recovered, I've already asked the upholsterer to order more hide to finish front backs and middle row.- ocanuck

Big ol' blue
I've been itching for a "cool" daily driver over my 2003 D'max with 33s and this k2500 dropped it's price on FB Marketplace... TBI 454, 4L80E, full floater rear and likely the best maintained vehicle I've ever bought. It really needs nothing other than fuel, and it likes that rather frequently...- ocanuck
