    Paycheck again at 71?

    I bet Mark Carter was angry all the time.

    Fuel Quality!

    QT has 0 ethanol but it's expensive. You do get better mpg, but not enough to offset it. If I had a classic with a carb I would run it though.

    Fuel Quality!

    I've only ever seen one company's fuel truck in my neck of the woods. Maybe they go to different suppliers for each station, but the logistics seem overly complex. I'd bet it's all basically the same fuel.

    Fuel Quality!

    Maybe you found out why they had bags on all the nozzles.

    Changing tires fast ‘ Going opposite ways ..Need opinions on what will ride smoother and be good for a 5k suv ”

    Ditto. They are my goto for 4WD vehicles. They're on the heavy side though. Cooper AT3 is also a good tire, but in my experience they are louder than the KO2 in the highway.

    spraying rear diff oil after new driveshaft

    Similar thing happened with my sons truck. When we bought it the rear u joint was shot and banging around for who knows how long. Pinion was leaking badly. Fixed that, but about 4k miles later the new u-joint broke. Fixed it again, but the pinion was now wobbly and there was gear oil sprayed all...

    Slight knock?

    If I had to guess, I would guess #3 in Schurkey's list. The 260k 5.7 in my Tahoe does it to and it won't die!

    Am I underpowered?

    $ for HP, a boosted 4.8/5.3 can't be beat. Sure, you can make more HP out of something bigger with less boost, but it comes with additional $. I scored my 5.3 in my D100 for free!

    No offense, and I love Vipers.

    Am I underpowered?

    LT to be precise. The LT6 in the Z06 is really a whole new architecture for them, but they gave it the LT name. I don't think I've had a car quicker to 100 mph. After 100 it doesn't have the HP to keep on pulling as hard, it's not slow though.

    Am I underpowered?

    They didn't HAVE to. They chose to for non-technical reasons IMO. The E-Ray sits in between the base C8 like I have and the Z06. The top dog is supposedly going the be the C8 Zora. Hellcats are fun, but once you throw some turns in they're awful.

    Am I underpowered?

    Never had the pleasure of owning/driving one of those. Everything else I have at least driven.

    Am I underpowered?

    The OP needs to regear or shrink his tire, but every engine GM put in these trucks is underpowered IMO. :)

    6.0 turbo build

    Are they assembling it? If so, make sure the rings are gapped for boost. I didn't see an intercooler on the parts list.

    Bed is on and the truck is back together. I didn't take any pics because it looks the same as it did a couple pages ago. I have an appointment to get exhaust put on Friday after next. Probably will get an alignment soon too. Then it's back to summer farting around duty and we'll hit up a test...

    '89 Stepside "Way Cool Jr."

    One of those pop up sun shades and back the truck under it. Just an idea, don't know if the truck would actually fit under there.

    It's a as much as you can get and still fit under the bed (I think). I wanted all the suspension travel I could get. I'm hoping I can really get the truck to squat when it has traction.
