    2004 RCSB 4x4 - The Mail Truck

    Next, we start getting into the mods! As I owned it longer and the miles racked up, there were some general wear items that needed addressing. But first, I will say I LOVE factory upgrades. I like to replace worn out parts with better parts when able. One of the best upgrades you can do to a...

    2004 RCSB 4x4 - The Mail Truck

    Already out of order :oops: but I found this gem while digging through photos. Here's the original 4.8 relegated to the corner of the shop, waiting for me to resurrect it for something (I have a wild plan, but we'll get to that later). It was plagued with the 'castech crack'. If you're losing...

    It's always good to see a familiar face and a friend!

    2004 RCSB 4x4 - The Mail Truck

    At some point my old man painted the work truck front bumper and chrome all flat black (while I owned it, without asking me). I was storing it at their house one summer while I took my fox-body back to Seattle in college. I remember him telling me "I did something I think you're really gonna...

    2004 RCSB 4x4 - The Mail Truck

    I am going to try to chronicle the mods and pictures in a a past-to-present configuration. It is going to take me some time to go through old pictures, but I will get them posted up here when I figure out the correct order. Oh, also. I've owned this rig for over 10 years now, but only recently...

    2004 RCSB 4x4 - The Mail Truck

    This is my much beloved 2004 Sierra 1500. I have modded this truck a lot over the years. I'll post the mods up in this build thread, as well as future modifications I have in mind. My dad originally bought it and we built it up to fulfill his dream of a 4wd el camino. I officially purchased it...

    New here, but not to the GMT800

    Hi all, I am a recent convert from GMT400 forum. Had no idea the GMT800 forum was a thing until @ORVietVet enlightened me! Thanks for that! I have grown up working on the 800 platform as these were cheap and plentiful for my friends and I to wrench on in high-school. I turned all of my friends...

    Battery Ran Dead and now 4x4 does work

    Not helpful, but this is why I think GM should have just put the np261 in all the 1500s. Outside of pump rub issues, they are very reliable. Sorry to hear you had to go the route of a new T-case after the rebuild. That is a huge bummer. Out of curiosity, what brand is that? The paintjob looks...

    2000 Single Cab Short Bed “DateNight”

    How many miles on the copper plugs? FWIW, Copper plugs will actually give you a *better* spark in the beginning, but wear down faster (much faster). Platinum plugs are more of a longevity/durabilty thing so people can go 100K miles on spark plugs. Copper plugs generally need changed around...

    What's your exhaust setup?

    LOL! I always go full retard! And then sometimes I reign it back in... not often. The 351w fox body has true duals with flowmaster 40s dumped in front of the axle, AND header cutouts on a switch under the dash. I love when Subaru's come and rev next to me at stoplights. I let that Comp Cam sing...

    What's your exhaust setup?

    You would totally love the hodge-podge system on my 04! It was loud and obnoxious as hell, which was really cool when I was 18. A few years on, it got old pulling into my place of work sounding like a teenager every-day, in all 4 of my V8 powered vehicles. It is nice to have one stealth vehicle...
