Chris AU's '92 ECSB K1500 Build Thread

[oohunter04oo]

i rebuilt my 4l60e in my 97 and only spent like $360.

 

[ChrisAU]

Got the truck back today, shifts great, nice and firm and quick!

Tomorrow I'm going to put in new AC Delco Platinum Plugs, a new AC Delco 195* thermostat, a transmission cooler, new AC Delco oil pressure sending unit, and may do the big 3! Oh and I'm going to beat the drivers side front fender lip in a bit, it seems to be bent out some and it rubs in reverse.

 

[ChrisAU]

Oh also going to put the stock air cleaner back in, and tighten the mounting bolts for the winch.

I'm glad to hear that you got your truck back!

 

[ChrisAU]

Thanks! I've had it for 10 months now. In that time, it has spent 11 weeks either getting the transmission rebuilt or motor problems diagnosed that are above my paygrade. I hope I get to keep it for a while now!

1) Transmission Cooler - Done
2) Plugs - Done
3) Thermostat - Done, with a minor environmental disaster. Clamped upper hose before I took it off but didn't think to clamp the lower, should have because the truck was parked on a hill with the nose up. When I popped off the thermostat housing it was like a gusher. Couldn't do anything about it.
4) Winch Bolts - Tightened.
5) Fender- Beat in a little. Needs a little more.
6) Winch hook - changed to shackle and hooked to d-ring on bumper.
7) Oil Pressure Sender - too fvcking hot today to do.
8) Big 3 - see #7.

Got a pic of what the front looks like now with the winch cover and shackle hooked to d-ring:

Looks good!! You'll have a million dollar truck before long! I did the big 3 on mine! It helped alot. I think I'm going to get anoth short ground wire and go from the frame ground to the engine ground. I know it's not necessary but it's bothering me and I want to do it!
