My 1990 C1500 SWB Build - Daily Driver

How about a quick video of that thing ripping off a few gears at full song?

Sure, after I get break-in miles on the Engine, Trans and clutch.

Pff, break it in the way it's going to be driven. I broke my Camaro's engine rebuild in at the race track. Clutch too.

Right.

If Tremec told me to grow an Amish beard to properly break in the transmission, I would. With the amount of money in this setup.

Thanks for the chuckle

I would suggest thoroughly reading the information here:

540 RAT - Tech Facts, NOT Myths

I'm in the process of replacing cam (flat tappet) and Hydraulic lifters..... he's got me almost 100% convinced, from both his unbiased independent testing and the testimonials of people who have followed his advice, that I don't think I'm gonna do a break in OR use any zinc additive EVER.....

I think it's well worth considering......IMHO

Back on the interest in this truck, again.... for now.

Changing mufflers and having tailpipes ran next Tuesday. Before that, it has an alignment appointment on Monday.

Also, got tired of fiddling with this part and that part, trying to work with the absolute junk accessory bracket that Boost District included with the blower kit. Went ahead and bit the bullet, spent the $500+ on an ICT frontend drive setup. That way I can get the AC back on the truck and charged. As it's Kansas and 90* days are not too far away.

We're already having 90° days in Houston, Texas area so I definitely get you on the AC! Enjoying it in the crew cab(one of many reasons why I bought this truck!).

I've had really good luck with the ICT 7176 Compressor bracket on my Z28. They are an awesome company, top notch service, I use a lot of their stuff in my builds.

I was down in Christine Texas, about an hour from Corpus Christi for a week working on a power plant. I know it was 100* on Thursday. That's what got me in gear on the AC.

I actually have a brand new ICT high mount 7176 bracket, I just already have an R4 compressor and line set on the truck. So hard to justify the big change.

Okay, next step in my mental deficiency in regards to this truck. Finally pulled the trigger on Torque Thrust II's! I've been wanting to order a set for a long time.
