    Truck gear and supplies

    Here is something else I'm working on as far as truck supplies goes. It's not finished yet and plan on making one almost identical for the Tahoe.

    Your work area & tools!

    I need to get an updated picture. I switched jobs to a smaller, but less stressful shop. I'm ordering a new Blue Point roll cart monday, so I'll probably wait until then before I get an updated picture(s).

    Project BOV

    Updated both modification lists. Just a quick update. I haven't had a chance to do a whole lot to the Tahoe because I was working on getting my truck back on the road, but I have done a little tinkering with the Tahoe. I noticed the front of my truck was about 2" lower than the rear so I...

    Project Z-71

    Some night pictures I took of the truck on New Years. I'm also working on a little re-organizing for the roadside repair bag. I plan on doing one for the Tahoe too.

    Project Z-71

    Edited both modification lists in first post. So it's been a while since I've updated this build. The post before the last has pictures of the idler arm bracket that came undone from the frame. So it sat for a couple months until I had a chance to get it to the shop. My 6-7 year old Optima...

    Project Z-71

    Goat, I'm still running factory gears, 3.73s I think? I'm not sure, next time I drive it I plan on resetting the trip meter and finding out atleast down to a quarter tank. I do know I'm getting around 10 mpg depending on how I drive.

    3 inch body lifts who's done them ?

    I have. Did the 3" Performance Accessories body lift on my 01' Silverado 1500 Z-71. I still have the direction booklet and if wanted I can type some of it up. If possible I'd save up a little extra and get a good suspension lift. If I was to do it all over again with my truck I would've...

    Trans service....

    The way they did it at the dealership I used to work at is the disconnected one of the transmission cooler lines, wherever was easiest to disconnect from, basically connect the machine between the two lines using hoses and fittings, one tank on the machine is new fluid with additive and the...

    Trans service....

    I don't recommend doing transmission flushes either. I always recommend a pan drop and filter change. I do mine about every 30k miles.

    Previous rides

    My first truck. It was nice at first, but needed more room and more power. It was a 4.3L V6. Sold it and picked up my current 01' Chevy Silverado 1500 Z-71. Then I picked up this Jeep Wrangler. Shouldn't have ever sold it!

    Project Z-71

    - Edited first post. Just a small update with the truck. Hopefully getting the frame/steering bracket welded soon now that things have finally calmed down a little bit. My battery was starting slow so I pulled my Optima Yellow Top out to charge it and after charging for two hours on slow charge...

    Project BOV

    The only real update I have right now was a change in plans/modifications. (Edited first post too) Between working my mon-fri 12 hour work days and then factor in all the Florida rain, I can't get a chance to do any painting. As far as my new plans go, the other day I was doing some short...

    Bonecollector's 2005 GMC Sierra
