Yes i have seen his build. I found them headers a long time ago but cant see 600 on shorties. Thanks for the link tho.

[85burb]

I feel faint....Just spent 93,xxx dollers..... Bought a house, fridge, dryer, microwave, and carpet cleaner. But now i have a 3 car garadge type structure and no more downstairs or side neighbors. Have 1.127 acres of land also for future shop. VERY excited. Will get pics soon.

congrats on the new spread! living in an apt/condo/town house can't compare to having your own (well, and the banks) place.

[85burb]

Yes i am excited to have it to. One day i will built 3 car shop. Buddy has carried both loads of stuff over so far. Some times i wish he was a truck but it was rainin really bad the first trip over there and all my stuff would have gotten soaked. So i am happy he is a suburban. Like a sofa on wheels.

[85burb]

Just oredered my front axle parts. Got a g2 ring and pinion, g2 master install kit, and a detriot truetrac front diff. Got to love black friday sales early! Saved 50 bucks and free shipping.

Congrats on the house.

At least you have overdrive. The gearing change isn't as big of a deal other than the money involved. The 4.10's are only like a set of 3.08's on the freeway.

It may actually help your city mileage since it will help get that monster moving a little easier.

[85burb]

I am not sure about the mpg due to loosing daily driver status. Now when i drive it i have fun. It does seem to like the gears. The rpms only change buy about 250 at 65. Cant wait to have front axle in.

[MTCK]

Huh that sucks. I had a very different experience when I ordered my gears and posi earlier this fall. The ring gear was out of stock, but they had a thick gear set and a thick gear posi in stock that ended up saving me about $30 bucks over the pieces I had picked. Everything showed up about 4 days after I ordered. Sorry to hear they are sucking it up on your order. I'd cancel now and order from summit - they always seem to ship promptly...

[85burb]

Well things have went from bad to worse. After i called they somehow shipped my stuff and charged me more then my total said on my reciept. So i guess they had my stuff and just didnt want to ship it. The first time i ordered from them they were great. Shipped fast and accurate. Maybe you have to call order in. That is how i did it last time. This time was a net order. Still makes me madder that they all the sudden had my stuff and then charged me extra for it.

[85burb]

How much is a 87 front clip worth with everything sheet metal wise? They want 400.

[MTCK]

Doesn't seem too out of line if everything is in good shape. Hood, rad support, fenders, inner fenders and trimmings?

[85burb]

Yes even harness

[y5mgisi]

Seems steep to me. I would say more like $250.

[85burb]

YAY early christmass!!!! All parts arived today. So excited to get it installed.

[85burb]

I sure do love my efi. It was prob 35 degrees out here and the first time it has started in a week. Went out and turned key and it started perfict first bump of the key. I didnt even get inside. On a side note i did find my radiator leaking a tiny tiny bit tho.....

[68GMCCustom]

its always something...............

[85burb]

Yes always something. It looks to have been there for just about the hole time the burb has ben alive. I need to upgrade anyways. In the summer it gets pretty hot sitting in trafic. Not to the point of overheating but close. I want to get nice aluminum rad and a set of electric fans that will let me idle for hours or let me 4 wheel slowly all day. Wish them be cool set ups werent so dang pricy.

[68GMCCustom]

a truck should be able to idle in the middle of death valley all day with the a/c on w/o overheating.

your not pulling plenty of clean air through the radiator with the your manual fan and shroud? is it a 4 core rad?

[85burb]

I have electric fan, and looks like rad is 1.5-2 inches wide. The tanks are quite abit wider then the core. The fan i have is from pepboys and is only rated for 5 liters it says. It under 2000 cfm i think maybe 1600. It will come on and the temp will lower at first then creep up. It did same with the 350 in it. I make sure to was the rad out every time i was the truck. you can see right threw the core if you look threw the grill.

[85burb]

What would yall say about this rad set up?
