Re: DD week 8- 10k miles
Good stuff man! Keep her rolling. 200 miles a day is a commitment.
I was doing 80 miles a day in my C-10 this winter/spring for about 3 months. Really not that bad at all. But I did end up adding a Kenwood single DIN HD radio (AL mount that is sold on here by a member - top notch!) and a replacement center speaker (2 - 4.5" co-ax style on a custom plate), really helped in slow traffic... But mostly listen to talk radio, so nothing really exciting sound wise.
The LS 5.3 and T5 manual has been excellent. 3.73 gears, but I have a shimmy in the front end that needs addressed before I go over 65-70 (shakes). The 3.73 does match up perfectly to the T5 gears though IMO.
Add: IMO a posi/limited slip is needed in the rear for bad weather. In any snow, even with good BFG A/T KO tires and 2 sand bags, the rear end is all over the place. Shoot I can get stuck on wet grass. It is sad. The posi is on my to-do list and I imagine the same for you in PA.
