Thanks guys.

All suspension bits are en route as of today. Hopefully getting a call from a Guy tomorrow about the pinion angle conundrum.


Zieg let me know and we'll mark you down for an order of tacos. Lol.

[roadrage41]

Well pretty much the entire front suspension is new, just needs aligned, front brakes bled, need a dumbed down how to on setting the pinion angles, not having any luck.

I love it, it makes me wish I was back so I can finally get back into my Silverado, I have a LS1 out of a corvette waiting for it.

Finally got the temp gauge wired up, got halfway through greasing the front end and we got smacked around by a downpour. Flipped the radiator hose, mounted fuse panel, got busted front valance off, hopefully button up some more stuff tomorrow and get the bed back off.

always good to hear progress being made.

Turns out small exhaust housing and 4.10 gears breaks the tires loose pretty easily standing still and from a roll. If you haven't gotten the rear squirrely in crew cab before, I recommend it.

For the run down on what happened there, he turned the corner, goosed it, hit second, the tires broke loose, got out of it, to get it back under control, goose# it again, hit third and did it all over again, my phone didn't start recording right away, so you only hear third.

[bigchevyc30]

sweet so plenty of power to them wheels if its doing that in third lol
