    My 7 is undergoing surgery….

    Body is in primer now. Has some gravel guard similar in appearance to the stuff the factory puts on the newer models added to all the leading edges on the windows and he’s doing the rockers and door sills Monday. I replaced the brake lines from the abs controller to the wheels today. The...

    2024 Duramax issues?

    I think you guys need to get back in an obs or a classic for a bit to remember what comfortable seats really feel like lol! Hated the hard uncomfortable seat in my ‘20 AT4. My ‘23 Sierra 3500 work truck is ridiculous hard. My ‘16 I felt was better but not much. I’m pretty sure angels designed...

    Where to buy classic interior parts?

    That’s because they no longer exist. Best option is to find a used passenger in good shape and swap it out with the driver seat cushion. That’s what I’m going to do. As the trucks got newer, the seats got harder. My ‘16 was the last one I could tolerate. All the newer trucks I’ve had including...

    My 7 is undergoing surgery….

    I’ve worked a lot with stainless. Nickel coat on it and almost never have issues. Whoever put these in used nothing. I got the sumbitch out and welded in a new nut. Took some heat and some percussive persuasion but I got it. He will weld a patch in over the he greasy hole we put in the body...

    My 7 is undergoing surgery….

    Corksoaker. When they put the nerf steps on long before I bought the truck, they used stainless bolts for the cab mounts with no antiseize. Broke the front left bolt. We will cut a square out of the inner rocker after we get the outer cut out to get access into end of the cab mount and then I...

    My 7 is undergoing surgery….

    I am struggling to find an emblem for the grill that isn’t $175 bucks shipped to me. Trying to avoid buying another gold plastic one from the dealer. Which also is 120 bucks.

    My 7 is undergoing surgery….

    It’s a buddy of mine doing the paint and bodywork who just went out on his own after 10 years working through a large busy local autobody shop. He’s very particular and doesn’t cut corners. So while he was out dropping my box off for sandblasting and box liner, I blew the fenders and hood off...

    My 7 is undergoing surgery….

    He will do all rust coating inside all the panels, fenders, rockers. Frame is going to get co2 blasted to remove scale and then will also be coated.

    My 7 is undergoing surgery….

    Box is off for sandblasting and spray in box liner. Patch panels are done. The guy that’s doing it just did my buddies and a 73 Camaro. He does good work.

    My 7 is undergoing surgery….

    22 years young and it’s time for some body work. It’s in pretty good shape considering the winters it’s lived through. Patch panels on the box around the wheels, new outer rockers, new cab corners, new front fenders, replacing hood and tailgate with good used. It’s gonna be like new when...

    Where to buy classic interior parts?

    I wouldn’t recommend their cushions. Bought one for my truck and it’s hard AF.

    Killswitch Options & Opinions

    Should be no different than when you crank it for 15 seconds doing a fuel return test. And really the only time it should happen is for a few seconds when you forget to change switch position lol.

    Killswitch Options & Opinions

    I just took one position on my dsp5 switch and set the pulse width tables to 0. Cranks but will never start. Works for me as switch is in a very tucked away spot you can’t see and not a conventional location either.

    Thinking about getting a two post lift

    We put a new 12k Atlas 2 post in my buddy’s shop last year. Another friend of mine has a 10k Bendpak that’s 14 years old. Both will lift crew long dually but you need to put a jack under the front and rear of the 10k to stabilize. I’d recommend nothing less than that to lift a full-size truck.

    March '24 Chat -- In like a Lion.....

    Absolutely it does. Thanks. Those 2 mount cushion assemblies cost half as much as that whole s&b kit!!! My cab mounts are all sacked out and with my summer wheels I experience frame beaming so hopefully this tunes it up.

    One last post to end this shitty month. I been searching for an hour now as I swore there was a post with the part number for the rear hydraulic body mount rubbers needed for a GMT-900 but I can’t find it anywhere. Could use some help here. I’m buying the s&b regular cab kit for my classic...

    LB7 Fuel Level Sensor Scaling

    I got it dialed in now. Light came on at 50km to empty and I ran it out for 45km and put 99 liters in so that’s close enough for me. The mpg part is out to lunch though so that’s the next battle. I tried the calculator thing someone else posted and it went from being out 2l/100km to 5 so it...
