    Got the LS all torn down. Was going to order a big cam (Truck Norris) and valve springs but got sandblaster/blast cabnit instead. I already have a powdercoat system so no I can clean and powder coat my truck parts.

    Found my starting motor. $360 including a $75 core and tax. Going to start the tear down. First couple motors had holes in them. This one turned over like it should and there are no holes in it.

    collecting more parts. I traded some parts from one of my old cars for this rear end. It's a Ford 9" with some stopping power. I'm a Subaru guy and my grandpa loved modified cars so I have no problem sticking a Ford rear under my GM. Next I'm going to pick up the engine for the LS swap on Thursday.

    Kept trying to decide if I wanted to build the 350 that's in my truck or LS swap it. Spent too much to change my mind now. Found a complete running tahoe I can trade the engine out of my truck for the complete swap

    Conventional 5W-30 No Longer Available?

    I wouldn't have thought it would be. My assumption was that it would be more like an 80/90 gear oil with that name. I'm new to GM stuff and automatic transmissions. This truck being the first one I've had. I've always built subaru's with manuals. I work at orilley's selling and delivery parts...

    Conventional 5W-30 No Longer Available?

    That number pulls up as Delco gear oil Oriellys offers multiple versions of dex III. House brand is called premium atf. I only mention oreillys because i work there and i can easily check.

    Conventional 5W-30 No Longer Available?

    Guess all our 5-30 is the blend. The 10-30 is still conventional. Multiple brands like this.

    Monroe coilovers or Monroe Gas Magnum rear shocks?

    I just went and looked and it is a 10 bolt. Is the 14 bolt something I can buy and bolt in or is there another rear end I can put in? My ultimate goal is an lq4 swap after I finish all the important stuff first.

    30 year old open recall

    Conventional 5W-30 No Longer Available?

    Maybe we have and are getting old stock. We sell a lot of the oriellys brand 5-30 not so much of the others.

    Conventional 5W-30 No Longer Available?

    I was wrong and edited my response. We do have other brands. Even text messaged a coworker to double check.

    Orileys brand containers and some others.

    30 year old open recall

    My friend is a salesman at GMC and ran my vin #. There is an open recall that never expires. Apparently it has something to do with the transmission catching fire. I'm going to ask the service department about it monday and see if they can even get the part / parts needed

    Conventional 5W-30 No Longer Available?

    We stock transfer parts from Springfield every morning. I'm surprised they didn't offer to get you some. Our oil rack out front is full and we have a bunch in the back.

    Conventional 5W-30 No Longer Available?

    Where are you located? I'm in broken arrow Oklahoma and the oreillys I work at has plenty and sells a lot of it. I work in the back as delivery driver and training as an ISS selling parts to the shops. I put away most of the stock, no one touches the batteries or oil but me so I see what we go...

    Monroe coilovers or Monroe Gas Magnum rear shocks?

    I would have got the Bilsteins since that is what was on it but orileys doesn't have them available right now. They say special order but when I put in a request I was told they aren't available.

    Monroe coilovers or Monroe Gas Magnum rear shocks?

    I'm not really sure what rear end it has. The window sticker says it came with a locking diff and 3.73 gears but that's all I know. The truck seems to stop just fine the trailer brakes work really well when I'm towing. Nothing seems to be wrong just wondering if the coilovers are any better than...

    Monroe coilovers or Monroe Gas Magnum rear shocks?

    It's getting new leafsprings as well. My work only offers dorman leaf springs but offers a few options for the shocks. I'm replacing the drums, shoes, cylinders, hardware, wheel bearings, shocks, leaf springs, shackles. I just finished the front with all new parts except the spindles, sway bar...

    Monroe coilovers or Monroe Gas Magnum rear shocks?

    I just finished the front end suspension, steering, brakes and next paycheck I'm going to do the rear. I have a 1990 GMC c1500 5.7tbi factory 3.73 locking diff. I used the gas Magnum shocks in the front and they feel great. Stiff but comfortable. I chose them because they are the best my work...

    Front end complete and back from alignment! Calipers weren't bad but only cost $17 and were ready for paint so why not get them. Still looking for a replacement steering shaft to replace this one with a torn boot.

    Rebuilding grandpa's 1990 C1500

    Slow progress on a delivery driver budget but it's getting there! New control arms, calipers, brake hoses, rotors, wheel bearings, shocks, tie rods and adjustment sleeves, pitman and idler arms, sway bar bushings and end links, shocks. Almost a complete new front end.
