I made ports for the exaust to pass through the frame.

[red94chev]

I really like that port through the frame aclew. Whats your plan for keeping the pipe from rattling on the tubing?

[aclew62]

Thanks Red Chevy, the port is 3.75 id. And my exaust is 2.375 od. The 5.3 vortec is mounted Ridgid to the frame. (I have a poly rear Trans mount to protect the tail shaft brg from vibration.) Ill mount the exaust ridggid also and add small stainless flex couplers to allow for expansion an contraction. I'm thinking that will limit movement enouph. The exaust will then travel through mufflers and out the bed skirt in front of the rear wheels. I'd love to hear suggestions this is my first build.

Drove mine for the first time in 2 weeks. Wishing it would stop raining so i could wash it. Or i could just throw some soap on it and put on a slicker suit...

[stocker96]

Put my HI-4 kit to use with some 55 watt HID high beams and changed the low beams to 35 watt HID's. Man does it make a difference!

[pooh]

replaced my climate control panel for the second time in 10 months... first replacement was a salvage piece and lasted about 4 months - got a new one this time from car-stuff.com... i'm hoping that that the salvage unit was already on the fritz

friday I got a fedex box with a couple of spring hangers in it for mine. Going to do a SAS sometime soon.

[stocker96]

put on my LED tailgate strip (no pics sorry) and got some "new" shoes for the truck a set of 20's a set of American Racing 16's and 4 spares for each. paid a total of $100 at a "clear out this building sale." here they are set in place so you get the idea.

[RHGuyettejr]

Washed it.... Finally, it has been below 0* up here for almost a week. I used my lunch break at work to pull it into the wet bay and wash and wax it.

Drove the stepper to work and back yesterday. Wet snow on the way home. Found out how bad this 2WD square is in the snow. Several near death experiences. Had to switch to the front wheel drive VW for some errands. Learned why there aren't too many of these trucks around anymore . Squirrelly

primed and painted my 91

[stocker96]

had my 20's mounted/balanced/installed this was the result of a "professional" shop...

[Tshort1]

Oh Wow I would be Mad what did the shop do to correct their mess up?

[Bud1300]

Bought welding supplys to install rear suspension.

Gave me a $200 partial refund, ordered me a new rim and tire (One got gouged from a wheel stud, using it as a spare) new LCA, and spindle on the drivers side, and new rotors and pads on both front sides, as well as ball joints and outer tie rods/ends on drivers side. And a matching drivers fender. they more than made up for it IMO They also paid a different shop a "rush" fee and I got my truck back in a little over 6 hours.


Ron White made a joke about his wheel falling off at a Sears tire center, that's all I could think about through this process. (I did not use a Sears tire center)

[Tshort1]

Glad they made it right for you.

[Robudda723]

After having the truck for a little over a week. I finally got to put som time into fixing a few things.

1. New driver and passenger handles. Previously driver handle was broke off and had to roll down window to open the door. The passenger side was missing lock and had to lock from outside. Both work correctly now.

2. Got rid of sag in driver door using the jack method. Now I can shut it without slamming it.

Next weekend I hope to have time to install new radio and fix some electrical gremlins.
