OR VietVet Is Still Throwing $$$ at 2005 Z71

[OR VietVet]

I bought a new one, just because it was like $30 and I didn't want to clean it....lol

This is why. I can clean both ends of it and make sure there is flow thru it, but I cannot see inside that tube and I have it off and it is not expensive, so I am replacing it. It is just another thing on my list that I can check off and move on with no "unknowing". I know I have said I like to spend other people's money but I like to spend my money too, on my rig.

But, thanks for asking.

There are lots of non wear items that get replaced just because. I am a "just because" guy, within reason.

No on the black wheels, yes on a trucool 40k cooler.

your gonna get all that done and bam knock sensor code, lol just a matter of time..... how many miles on it?

 

[OR VietVet]

134k miles and I already have the new knock sensors and the gasket set for that work. When I am that deep in it I will likely do a new water pump while in there.

Next question.

Yes on the black wheels and no on the Trucool 40k cooler. I don't tow anything with my rig. Friend has a truck and trailer I can use anytime I need to.


Next question.

I vote some NNBS LTZ wheels, chrome or polished...

 

[OR VietVet]

Nah, I like the looks of the Z71 "spider web" wheels. Was going to do custom wheels when I bought it but I like the ones on there. I have never been a fan of chrome wheels and I want to do the blacked out wheel for the contrast between the Silver Birch Metallic paint and the wheels.

4L60e and stock transcooler can overheat in city driving, good luck.

I do understand what you are saying and would be a great option if I run in to that problem. But, I live in the PNW, where the weather is very low in humidity and does not get hot in the summer. I live where I work and drive maybe 5k-6k miles a year and am never in a stop and go/city traffic situation. The only exception would be construction delays or wrecks and such like that. My travels up and over passes are rare and in excellent weather.

Does yours display trans temp in the cluster? In my 08 I can display that on the odometer / trip etc. display.
