    About to ruin one of the nicest C3500's with an Ls.. Pictures

    Right now the block, crank and heads are at the machine shop and the trans is at the trans shop. Hopefully it will all be back soon so I can start putting it together. The plan is to put the engine together. Then pull the truck in and pull the front bumper off and the whole front clip. Then...

    About to ruin one of the nicest C3500's with an Ls.. Pictures

    I think I got a decent start on the millions of dollars of parts I'm gona need. I'm going with the super hip truck Norris cam cus it sounds good and one of the first questions the wife had when I took on this project was is it going to sound the same? There's a pretty good cam in the 454 so I...

    About to ruin one of the nicest C3500's with an Ls.. Pictures

    I'm kind cheap when it comes to stuff I can make myself so I spent about a half hour and made up my own lifting plate. I used the old gasket between there to not scratch up the block, it also made a great templet to make the plate.

    About to ruin one of the nicest C3500's with an Ls.. Pictures

    It was a pice of cake getting the engine out being that there was basically no body on this rig. I saved pretty much everything I thought I would need. It came with a really nice set of headers I'm hoping to reuse

    About to ruin one of the nicest C3500's with an Ls.. Pictures

    So I found me probably the coolest truck on the internet and a true dream rig for a hillbilly like myself on the markplace and drug her on home. This rig fired right up with a new battery. I couldn't believe it but I had to, I was looking right at it. The kid and myself had a blast rippin it...

    About to ruin one of the nicest C3500's with an Ls.. Pictures

    Well hopefully not, I guess I'll start a swap thread here since I have plenty of downtime away from the truck 3-4 days a week with that terrible thing they call work. I have an absolute beautiful 1986 GMC 3500 with a big ol fo fiddy fo and T400 that's a smelly gas guzzling, gas spewing hunk of...

    Water getting in

    It could be your windshield gasket. That's where mine was just leaking. Have somone spray it with the hose and sit inside and watch for it.

    What's your level of education? You should really do some research on the bill of rights.

    A/C System Leaks

    It's the rubber hose connections on the line set. Take them to a hose shop and they will replace and properly crimp on the hoses.

    Chevy 6.0 with 4l80e

    Just out of curiosity does this forum allow people to just shit all over someone's for sale ad? This is the first time I'm seeing this. I'm really just on gun forums besides this forum and that's a big no no on them. Although I do appreciate all the posts in this thread, really learned a lot...

    Tbi vs carb

    If you have any questions let me know, just post in the thread. I'm pretty happy with it for as cheap as it was compared to all the other systems out there. The only problem I had so far was it would throw a 42 code once and a while but still ran just as good with it. That code means change the...

    What aftermarket radiator with fans?

    Well I just paid a ton of money for what's supposed to be the proper fan shroud fr my truck and believe it or not it doesn't fit (sarcasm). I'm tired of this crap so I want a radiator similar to this I want 4 rows if you know of one. How are they supposed to mount? It doesn't look like it...

    Putting on fuel injection! And a bunch of other upgrades

    I've been putting the noico sound deading material that somone on here had a thread about and it makes such a difference. I put it inside of the front doors when I put the new seals in and the doors sound like a 2021 Silverado, nice and solid, no more tin can sound. The truck is so much quieter...
