My new project truck: '99 K2500 Suburban

[Supercharged111]

My ccsb with the 5.7 doesn't have the pusher fan despite having an 80E. Maybe it's a 7.4 thing? I really dunno.

Good question, cause I'm pretty sure my crew cab doesn't have this fan(but it's not a 7.4 either, just a 5.7). Seems like it'd be a good thing to have though, especially if you are in a lot of traffic when it's warmer weather.

You guys are excellent examples, what side are your trans coolers on?

The ccsb is the same as the Denali, passenger side. The Burb is the only one that has it on the driver side and the pusher fan. Other two trucks are stuck, so no coolers, and also no fans.

So, just finished with going back into the timing set on the Burb, because I forgot the stupid loctite....
Decided to go ahead and install the Cloyes Cam gear while I was there and get the extra couple degrees of advance. I didn't expect it to be that difficult to turn the cam, but I guess that makes sense with the amount of spring pressure from the valvetrain. Now to put the oil pan back on.

Loctite? Meh. Never used the stuff on timing sets.

I dunno. Kept reading that it calls for that, and I guess I'm just a nervous Nelly. But hey, done now. Just need to get the oil pan back on now.

It may very well call for it, I've just never used it and never had one back out.

Got the old steering gear and pump out, and the new PSC box in. Along with the @Cunningham Machine steering shaft. Progress being made!

Currently working on the ball joints and control arm bushings. Passenger upper arm is out, working on the bushings, then the ball joint. Hoping to be done with all of this mess tomorrow.

Curious how the PSC box will perform. The red truck is waiting in the wings for a whole new front end and I couldn't decide between a reman steering box or coughing up for a new one.

I'll let you know as soon as I have this girl going again, with a few miles on her.
