    PROGRESS Today I pulled the engine from the Big Blue Turd. Look at the shortys I scored! I also got the whole front clip on White Thunder removed (fenders outer and inner, hood, grille, bumper, core support). I also got all of the wiring removed from White Thunder in one piece so i can use it...

    After about 8 months I found White Thunders new body White Thunder is a 1993, the body I found is a 1990 Chevrolet Scottsdale. So far I have deemed it The Big Blue Turd, my girl calls it Huckleberry Hound. I will leave that to you folks to decide... I just got The Big Blue Turd on 2/27/19...

    White Thunder is dead... Dad was using the truck as a means of transportation. He had parked it at work. While at work, a group of 5 very old foreigners crashed into it and well totaled it. Not only were they not insured, they didn't even have licenses. I hoped that just the cab had been...

    No power to horn

    Updating this, I traced it to a burnt wire in the column. I just wired the horns to a toggle switch on the knee pad.

    No power to horn

    I recently bought a 1994 1 ton Cheyenne RCLB Dually 6.5TD 2wd. It previously was a utility truck, PO cut and welded frame(poorly) and put a regular bed on. There are a few things with this truck I am slowly working out. One I cannot figure out is why the horn doesn't sound. The relay clicks when...

    I'm currently doing some decent work to the truck. My gas tank would leak, and i just never over filled it to prevent that. Then my fuel pump went out. So, I have the bed off and I've replaced the tank as well as pump/sending unit. I also bought a flowmaster super 10 3" in dual 2.5" out. Come...

    Radiator needs replaced, I have gotten a used radiator(~6MO) from a friend who was parting out his OBS. But now I have a hefty oil leak. Its about 2.5qts a week maybe more... only leaks while running. I'm thinking Rear Main , or the oil filter adapter gasket.

    My 1993 RCLB Cheyenne 2500 2wd

    My " new " transmission took a dump. No forward or reverse gears. From what I've read it would be the torque converter trashing the trans fluid pump , or the output shaft being trashed. Either way, I might go pick up a 40,000 mile 4l60e for $250 today.... and then take the pump from the original...

    AH so my Z71 is in fact a HD1500 , sweet. Yes I have checked the fuses and none are blown... Which ground circuits do those function off of. I know the body ground right by the battery, the ground at the T-stat housing, and the block of grounds on the firewall.

    It's not leaking from the end tanks from what I can see. It leaks on the bottom somewhere, I had the hood open and was watching as i revved , and it got a small puddle on the lower fan shroud after a few seconds. I just let it spew a few times , and it hasn't done it since. I was tired of...

    Thanks man! It wasn't that difficult, I just made sure i sanded some nice grooves into it so the paint would have something to grab onto. I was going to peel the chrome off but decided not to. SO, up close you can see some imperfections lol. but i think its better than the ugly gray/chrome...

    okay , so i made some options via MS paint .... i will be doing the fourth grill. I haven't seen any color matched or painted grilles on this style of grille(single side marker , not a split or two piece). so i figured i'd make my own , and i hope it turns out good.

    I had an extra battery from my 89 , and it is working good so far. gunna let it sit for hours and see if it still starts good, if it does i know its the battery, and not a draw. I had my battery tested(the one in question) , and it came back : -11.99V -457cca(rated 775) and that's at 72...

    i haven't been on for a while , but lol they are pretty close, i think mine are more ratty. just matches the truck xD . I replaced my egr valve, and solenoid due to that code being thrown after 15 minutes of driving multiple times. The engine was sluggish still , so i looked further , and...

    Yea, i wasn't expecting it to be that sludged. I plan on eventually replacing the cab corners(do you know any reputable sellers of these?), and I haven't found a decent set of running boards so that might not happen. As for raising the truck, is this what you were referring to ...
