    97 Chevy Steering wheel upgrades?

    I have no idea about 3500s Funny thing is, I'm actually using the buttons for a 2-Step controller and possibly later a transbrake and paddle shifting when I upgrade to a 4l80e So I've never even gotten around to checking them for radio purposes lol But to answer your question, yes the buttons work.

    1997 LS Swap, Turbo and all the goodies..

    I have a thread on here about the wheel swap. The bag can be easily functional, I just don't care for it to be myself personally. Lots of info here:http://www.gmt400.com/threads/97-chevy-steering-wheel-upgrades.32077/

    Suggestions for a drop kit.

    I haven't done the rear yet with the kit I bought. Looking at what is on there now by the previous owner it looks like they just replaced the shackles for what I assume is approx 4" drop. It doesnt have a flip kit or anything and all the springs seem there. I like the rear height so I might just...

    So far so good on this. I've been tuning tuning tuning and currently am running the boost at about 8lbs. I put a set of Nitto 555s on the back to help it hook up. Also bought a Spartan Diff locker for the rear end, have yet to install it. I just finished up replacing the entire front suspension...

    It's alive Now I am in the process of running a down pipe, and finishing up the harness. Theres a slight miss in the video, its better now and the idle and off idle transient are tuned. Its snappy and gets into boost FAST. I installed the drive shaft last night and the trans has reverse and...

    Another shot of the engine with turbo in place... Also you can see the Lextech ac/alternator relocation kit I used. I live in Texas, I need that AC on my 500+ hp hotrod... The crossover pipe connects like this, will be connected in the center where the two 90's meet. I am one mandrel 90...

    This is the driver side manifold being modified, it just needed extended and a slight 45* angle to clear the steering shaft and power steering box/hoses I was able to modify and use the factory heat shields on the modded manifolds.. I hate heat.. these are a MUST. Here they are all cleaned...

    I am about ready to fire this thing up! Actually I would have done so Sunday but I am missing 1 starter bolt. So I have to have patience! Wiring harness, it looks much more intimidating than it is, I already had a 0411 swap done on the truck so it was just a matter of taking out what I dont...

    Over the weekend I found enough time to go ahead and set the engine in place.

    Oh, and anyone attempting to rebuild a 4l60e you really don't need any special tools, you can work around with standard stuff or build your own but what I WOULD recommend buying is a good set of snap rings pliers and by good set I mean the SnapOn set that most Trans builders are using. The snap...

    Thank You Sir, it's a lot of work but it'll be worth it in the end. I keep getting held up by the small stuff. I ordered a deeper trans pan and a drain plug kit for it and the drain plug kit that came is complete junk, B&M universal type, I'd work but I just don't trust it. I have a new welder...

    The transmission rebuild is done! All in all it was not that difficult to do and I feel very good that all will work well. It took a little longer than I anticipated because there were a few parts that I had to order last minute. There's lots of info on the web on how to rebuild these things and...

    A fuel pump every month

    The relays are bad about the pin sockets loosening up causing a loose connection which causes the relay to get very hot and will make it intermittently shut off, killing power to the pump. It'll fire back up when it cools which adds to the confusion. I chased my tail on this for several weeks on...
