Thanks for the compliments guys! Well it's been a few days since i got the motor put in and I've put about 15 miles on her around town and such. Borrowed a timing light from a buddy of mine and got her timed today, where had it wasn't far off at all. So far everything is going good. I am not...
Well she finally moves again under her own power, thought it might be overheating last night so we shut her down, ended up being fine just a bad temp gauge, bought a new one from Autozone last night and all is well. Still need to do a little fine tuning to the carb and get the hood back on but...
My 82 shows to have 37,000 I'm guessing that's atleast 137,000. but the motor has oh about 2 miles on it right now, lol. My DD 04 dmax has 115k... the wife's Jetta has 1100
Well I looked in the glove box tonight and low and behold it had the RPO codes and unlike todays vehicles it actually says what each one means, lol. The truck is a Silverado, originally had the 6.2 diesel and 4 speed manual, also did come with power locks but no windows, factory AC, fleetside...
You asked me that and I didn't honestly know because all outside badges were gone when I bought it, but the trim on the inside looks factory and it says it's a Silverado
It doesn't look like I will be selling it, things have changed with my job and it looks like we might be staying here, so the roof can wait a month to get done, I wiill do that frame measuring for you, also here area few teaser pics of some of the stuff i have done to the exterior. I will take...
Well if some of you have been following my "My Engine" thread you know that I just bought a rebuilt short block to replace my destroyed motor that came in the truck, it took us 3 days of work to get the new motor completely assembled, cleaned up and put in, we finally got it all in tonight and...
BOOYAH... she is alive and well, lol. Just got the motor running, valves adjusted, all we have to do yet is dial in the timing and make sure she's good to go! Hopefully tomorrow, and sorry no pics yet, I will try and take some tomorrow
Well.... still working on getting the motor in and running, it's not going near as fast as I want it too, I am working nights right now and just don't have the time during the daylight to get it done, plus I'm learning as i go so that is a process also and the buddy that is helping me is on a...
Well we got the motor all put together and got it mounted up to the trans and bolted in, tomorrow after work I will start putting all accessories on and hooking everything back up.
Otay guys, I need some help, got the pump, pan, heads, timing cover, harmonic balancer, lifters, all on last night, we were gonna put the intake manifold on but we can't remember the trick to how much to tighten the rockers... any advice
Well they finished the short block today, looks like they did a real nice job on it, we just got back from picking it up and are planning on assembling the rest of it in the morning. I would like to get it all put together and in tomorrow but that will depend alot on wether my help wants to help lol
Sounds like us, my brother bought a 79 trans am off ebay and we drove truck and trailer to right outside of Philadelphia from Kansas, picked it up, drove right back lol
definetly not scared to drive for a deal, my wife always laughs because if we go home to Kansas to see her parents before we leave I check craigslist all the way up there to see if there's some "good deal" i just have to get
