Yeah, it's been a while. Been busy, changed jobs. Spent weekends racing last spring and summer at the local 1/4mile oval working on a grand american modified. Lost the clutch on the K5 on the way to the track had to deal with that too. DirtyLarry and our buddy did most of the work to swap it out while I was at work on a saturday. This snow run was the first time I had put it to the test off road. It was like a different truck.

I've also come across a 5.3 that we removed from a customer's truck when we installed a 5.3ho crate. I've got some more parts to scrounge up before the swap commences. Larry's putting up a convincing argument to ditch the dump truck trans and go with a nv4500 when the 5.3 drops in. It would be ideal, but I'm going to have to dig for the parts.

We got another snow run planned in a month or so.. Should be a good run if we get more snow.

Larry,I enjoy watching that forging trough the snow up the mountain action. I wish I had some video to offer. I love how trucks sound in the snow.

Sounds like a good plan all around. And,I'm sure you'll get more snow (right?). We have dodged all but a few inches here or there so far. Last year was awesome. We got no Mid-Atlantic ice or freezing rain...which tonight it is supposed to be snow at first turning to sleet,then freezing rain,ending with just rain at just above freezing. YUCK! And people curse snow around here. Well,I guess this is what you get for cursing snow.
Last year I was impressed with a snow before Christmas that dropped 18". Then in Feb. we got back to back 30"+ snows that reminded me of western mountain snows.

Here's pics from the 18"er. First on my road plowed:



Then,on an unused stretch of road unplowed:
