    Help me decide between 17/18 or 20" wheels

    20x10 with 35x12.5R20 tires, 4" all spring lift, my truck is strictly on road, maybe in 4wd everyonce in a while. If I was doing heavy offroading Id of went with a 17" max.

    Building Gauge Cluster

    Holley EFI gauges, but these read a dedicated CAN signal from my terminator EFI set up. Holley makes them stand alone as well, I put them In the bezel and left the shell of the original cluster behind to keep all of my factory signal and indicators.

    new engine does not want to run right

    on my last K5 I owned, a 1988, it did something similar, and it was my fault, I tried to set the timing like any old small block but didn't realize it doesn't work that way. Then once I actually figured this out the ECU was bad also.

    Scores from DIY Parts Yards, Pull A Part, U Pull It etc

    That's a good deal, had two trucks with that seat set up in them, both were 98 model Z71s. Gonna be honest never cared for those, never seemed like I could get them adjust right to me. Maybe it was the trucks, maybe it was me, hell idk lol. I preferred the older seat set up, I guess that...

    350 Vortec headers

    Yes those are the correct headers, I have ran those on both 062 casting vortec heads and a set of 882 heads, there were not fitment differences what so ever. I am currently running the 2452-1HKR on my truck, which are the ceramic coated version. I suggest getting the ceramic coated if you want...

    Check out this sweet K5

    The worst is the people who do not understand how a turning lane works. No signal into lane, slams on brakes then merges into turning lane.... that's not right!!!!! Tis meant to merge not to impede the flow of traffic!!!! you are doing it wrong!!!

    350 Vortec headers

    vortec heads are no different than standard heads when it comes to header selection, the only difference in the two would be intake bolt holes and valve cover bolt holes. Standard Gm heads will have 6 bolt holes for the intake at an angle. Vortec will only have 4, two at the front and two at...

    I find myself saying "good signal jackass" daily during my commute to and from work, said it this morning actually.

    Check out this sweet K5

    That thing is so perfect, I have a serious weak spot for K5s. I've owned 5 different ones, but ever one older than 85. I really want a round eye K5, 76 down with a full top, but those things are either made of pure gold or 100% pure rust.

    2001 silverado project. well, its gonna be a LS1 now, 500hp N/A dreams

    Really looked at it close yesterday, I knew it needed rocker panels already. Those aren't an issue, takes a few hours for both side tops, but I didn't know it needs floor pans too. Pulled back the vinyl floor covers and they had pop riveted galvanized steel to cover the holes. So.... floor...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Yeah this is something other than fuel, rich the plug would be black and nasty with oily fuel build up, Lean it would be chalky and light tan to white and if had been lean for a long time it would have already caused major problems. That's something else entirely, it almost looks like...

    2001 silverado project. well, its gonna be a LS1 now, 500hp N/A dreams

    Yeah like the 4.8 I bought for the truck it was too good of a deal to pass up. I had intentions of building a nasty LS1 from a motor I have sitting in the shop that has spun rod bearing from a 01 TransAm (still going to do this over the winter when I have tinker time), but this 4.8 just fell...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Replaced the u joints in the rear drive shaft today, changed oil in trans, tcase and rear end.... then drove it. All was well, went to move it later in the afternoon no brakes, no fluid leaks any where, no clue what happened. Think it may be the master cylinder, or something to do with hydroboost.
