Try online or Craigslist you should be able to find one


Im taken the Truck to the Exhaust shop sometime this week, the Y-pipe doesnt clear my big Transmission Deep Pan, so i need to tackle that, im thinking of a custom 3" pipe with a X pipe after the Transmission.. Should Sound a little meaner.

Thanks man, im loving that HD front End, I thought overall i was done with the exterior of the truck, apparently not, lol

I had one of my friend (Tech2 Mechanic at Chevrolet) swap out the rear gears, he charged me $200.00 for labor.. but when i was looking for a shop to do it they were charging anything from 300-500, you just gotta shop around.

if you're keeping the 24's i would honestly go with 4.30's

Damn man, I'm gonna go broke trying to keep up with you..

I could only wish i would run your track numbers pretty impressive man, im shooting for high 12's but i think i need to do some weight reduction and put it on a tire now cause i have no traction.

Thanks man anything new with your hoe?

Well finally the truck is running and it's ALIVE !!!! The Blower loves the taller 4L80e First Gear, it just keeps pulling and pulling the trans wants to shift high 6200+ RPM but we are keeping it safe for now at 6150 RPM, I've been told these trans don't like shifting high... The Gears Made a world of a difference, i think i nailed it. It sits pretty at 2400 RPM @ 70 MPH, this is usually what i cruise at and about 2900 RPM @ 85 RPM, so this is perfect for me.. We are taken it easy on her for the first 500 miles, although i already did a massive burn out, lol

Man this build is Awesome. I wish i had some extra cash to do things like this to mine. Looking good
