still wont let me upload them!! i tried shrinking down the size and using imgur and photobucket but they said they exceded the size by like 1000KB even at 144x104 so just take a look here and im going to try a different comuter but here are the pics on imgur http://jasonreichle.imgur.com/all

Update: truck stalled on the highway going into work and it wont start... so I had it towed to a local shop.. itll crank over so its getting compression and all wires and spark plugs are changed so im at a loss... the only thing I can think of is fuel pump? Any other opinions would be helpful

Sounds like fuel pump, maybe beat on the tank with a 2x4 if it starts that's what it is. Also when you put the key in the on position you can here the fuel pump turn on.

Nope actually even thoough the rotor and distributor were AC delco parts the rotor teeth had chewed up the inside of the distributor and it wasnt eating anymore.. like what the hell? so i figured i would break it in and on the way home i did a 110-140 pull at 2500RPM and mt touque app was showing i peaked at 330 horses... in 4th gear.. wow. im not sure how accurate it is but i trust and go by everything that app says because its usually dead on with speed and rpms along with the temps.. and stay tuned everybody a package should be arriving this week holding a certain package of LED off road lights....

yep.. guess thats what you get for having it tuned and go way higher then what the RPM's show...... maybe its time to upgrade to all MSD ignition products

And then the typical problem. 4L60e blew... going to a fire call accellerated way to fast on the highway kept it basically at red line and it went... 360,000k on it. i wasnt even mad. so i decided to fix it right the first time, put a higher stall TC in, HD clutchpacks, vetter servos, shift kit, HD everything.. all in all with 2 new driveshafts 4 new u joints, tie rod ends, stabilizer bars, rear main seal it rolled out of the shop with a $5000 bill... oh well. upgrades stopped for awhile.

recent engine bay shot (i want a throttle body spacer for the sound)
