    2000 Single Cab Short Bed “DateNight”

    Yes that is very good practice. So GM says 60 on the gap(platinum plugs) the coppers I got were also gapped at 60. I always run a 35 gap on my nitrous small block. 60 seems large to me, I might pull them and gap them at 35 just for chits and giggles

    2000 Single Cab Short Bed “DateNight”

    Bushing in the distributor feels good. No slop. I cleaned up the old rotor with some sand paper and the inside of the cap too. That part had less than 50 miles on it

    Well the new rotor didn’t last long, I pulled the cap to check the bushing like someotherguy suggested and found a surprise.

    I might just go ahead and order one from amazon. Less than $50 for a distributor, can’t beat it. Plus I can return it hahah

    2000 Single Cab Short Bed “DateNight”

    Distributor i bet has never been changed. The more money i put into this more means less im putting towards the LS swap. It’s strictly a toy, so I’m in no rush I just don’t like having a non running truck. I can put my 5.3 together right now, I have all the parts. Just need motor mounts and...

    2000 Single Cab Short Bed “DateNight”

    New, maybe 50miles on it. but I’m going to pull it off again and inspect it. Oh yeah, I put a new crank shaft position sensor in it. Still didn’t fix it. When I did the tune up I put copper plugs in it. The factory calls for platinum. So I might put the old ones back in to see if anything...

    What's your exhaust setup?

    Those old pics don’t do that truck justice. I absolutely love the exhaust on the dually, that my favorite for a daily driver style exhaust.

    QA1 adjustable shocks starting point

    Set the stocks up as recommended from qa1, maybe a little loose on the front to pick up the nose and hold it. On the rear try them tight. See if it will make the tire bite harder. It’s like landing with your knees locked, it puts all the force on your feet. You want to try to do the same to...

    QA1 adjustable shocks starting point

    What tires are you running? Slicks or drag radials? What’s kind of surface? Street? Prep? No prep? Is it mostly a street truck, or a race truck? Traction bars? i added weight to the rear of my old s10. With the battery and extra weight it was around 100lbs A good place to read about shocks...

    What's your exhaust setup?

    Im going to run long tubes, and go 90/00s style with a h-pipe and OG 40series flowmasters when I swap. I miss that tinny bass sound. My wife’s truck has true dual with x pipe and flowFx mufflers, it sounds rowdy but it also sounds like every ls truck around.

    What's your exhaust setup?

    I’m a big fan of turbo mufflers on the 4.3 v6, I also like the sound of stock mufflers with a turn downs. I good friend of mine has a procharged 5th gen Camaro. It has long tubes, x pipe and stock mufflers. It by far is the coolest sounding car. The chop of the cam and sound of the procharger...

    2000 Single Cab Short Bed “DateNight”

    i might just for the heck of it. It’s odd because it doesn’t miss at idle. Feels like the ignition is falling out. Along with the tune up I replaced the coil and icm. I have a crank shaft position sensor on its way. I will change it out and pull the distributor. If the distributor has noticeable...

    What's your exhaust setup?

    I prefer axle dump or dumped in the corner of the bed/bumper like the early Camaros. I like the exhaust hidden.

    2000 Single Cab Short Bed “DateNight”

    Well the v6 has started to develop a misfire at cruising speeds. Throws no codes. I’ve done the basic tune up, and replaced a few sensors. Still has the miss and I don’t want to put parts on something that’s going to be removed. I MIGHT pull the distributor and see how bad the gear is wore, the...

    Short trips engine damage explanation

    Engine doesn’t get hot enough to burn off the moisture in the oil. I see this a lot in jet boats that use open cooling systems since the lake water is cool.

    2000 Single Cab Short Bed “DateNight”

    Well Katech will CNC my 862 for $500. They will still use the stock valves which is fine since I’m not looking for high rpm numbers. Guess this will be my next purchase

    Stutaeng's 1999 Silverado

    Very cool. Did you run into anything funky when doing the swap that I should know of, mine is a 2000. I have a harness, ecm and the engine from a 99-02 DBC truck, fittings and AN line for the fuel lines. I still need motor mounts, prop get them From atomic fab. My daughter will be 13 in aug...
