About time you mozy on into this wonderful place!!

*vegaschevy* · 02-05-2010, 10:04 AM

I figured out my noise and washer rattle. Im not sure that I like it but so far nothing seems out of place. I drove 60 miles last night and it did not do it at all so tentatively Ill call it fixed.

I checked the fluid in the tranny and it was at the add a quart level. I added about 3/4 quart which brought it up to full!

The noise, rattle, and shrieking sound is gone. I have no idea what inside the tranny would make it do that on so little amount of oil missing. WIth it starting after lowering the front to match the rear I would suggest something in hte rear of the tranny

*highperf4x4* · 02-05-2010, 11:56 PM

Well you don't seem to be as nervous about it as I am.

72SWBChevy · 02-11-2010, 10:12 PM

Look awesome!! Love the wheels!!!

OARNGESI · 02-11-2010, 11:56 PM

Trucks lookin good another 2 inches down up front and the stance would be perfect

big_al_71 · 02-13-2010, 11:52 AM

any updated picts with the front slammed or the back up some?

*vegaschevy* · 02-23-2010, 08:54 PM

Oh finally an update!

I have been slamming crazy busy. Wanting to get the rear end at a better ride height, fix my funky driveline noise once and for all, and another step better for making the truck more reliable.

First the driveline.

The carrier bearing had a dust shield which bottomed out on the driveshaft causing a bind on the bearing. crushing the dust shield and sinking the yoke on a bit more which cause the bolt to be loose making my washer sound and making the nasty loud vibration grinding noise. removed the driveshaft, removed the carrier bearing and dust shield, reinstalled the carrier bearing without the metal dust shield piece of crap and fixed the yoke. hopefully all fixed.

i think all the noise is going to be gone for sure.

now I also installed the spacers on my trailing arms raising the rear to a total of 7" drop instead of 8" drop. The only major thing i have left that needs to be done ASAP to improve my ride quality is get some ECE upper shock relocators.

8" rear drop

7" rear drop... After

Before 8" drop

After 7" drop

This looks much better

Next on the list is 67 front end!!

oldblue1968chevy · 02-23-2010, 10:07 PM

dude why did you take the trim off!

Should've left trim on and installed new front grille. it look nice like that (well, already SWEET but woulda' looked more....factory, but slammed on big wheels

*highperf4x4* · 02-23-2010, 11:39 PM

See I thought you had hybernated!!

Lookin better bro.

*vegaschevy* · 03-04-2010, 02:28 PM

Been real busy with some different stuff lately and trying to make time for the truck.
i am going to adding an aftermarket radio and AC system so I removed them out of the truck. I really like the simplicity under the hood of the aftermarket units.

I also have been wondering on what brand to go with and why!!

Then there is my motor dilemmas, been tossing an LS or Big block build. Cannot figure out which one I want to do but really thinking I may do a big block!

I also need to remember the members name who makes the precut panels to weld up the holes in the firewall.

Not to mention I also took off a volt meter that someone wired in and was crappy looking....

**wancosc356** · 03-04-2010, 02:41 PM

As far as the firewall patches, I believe the members name is infanti72. He is on here and on ebay.

Diggin the temporary firewall patch panels.

I think you can still use your factory dash vents with the aftermarket kits.

SCOTI · 03-04-2010, 03:03 PM

LS motor. Upgrade & modernize @ the same time. You can always go w/a big LS motor in the future.

Ummmm I am aware of a good line of a truck with a nice 6.0 motor and tranny but the guy who knows the owner is lazy and never gets on the phone to line up a looky loo..... been trying for 2 months. It is a rolled standard cab 2500HD
