Hi all
I am Greg and I am from Cheyenne Wyoming and I have a 98 Silverado ECSB It has 155k on it and has eaten 3 transmissions judging by the trans I pulled out last year and replaced with a built unit with a decent warranty from a local shop. The truck has a ported TB and spacer, hedman longtubes, glasspacks and dumps. Its nothing special but it gets the things done I need to get done. The truck is a "dimple darling" or if you want to be realistic it is a total loss according to the insurance company if I had reported it. This was a farm truck before I got it and so I am mostly looking to upgrade the parts that need replaced. The truck is lovingly referred to as big red, but in all reality it is more of a maroon. I was pointed this way by glendayle who is on my other car forum. If you want pics I can post a couple but it is nothing grand just looking for info on the door sag issue and see if there is a door seal issue and if there is any known issues of where the motors like to leak.
If I decide to keep this truck I will prolly build and drop in a spare 383 lt1 I have in it and stick a little turbo on it because up here at 6100 ft the truck is not super quick. It was tuned using HPTuners by me when I had free time and had the computer in the truck. There is one little thing I cant figure out though. It seems to have a miss or a cough but I only notice it more readily when I am on corn boosted gas like the 10% ethanol gas. Finally I will ask this here since I cant find anything that is 100% either way, when it gets warm the oil psi drops to like 20 psi. Is that normal?
