Miklo's 2001 Silverado 2500HD Build Thread
240 miles round trip today. No smoke, no oil burning, and only a drop of oil in the catch can. Seems to run much better, and sounds great during idle. I had one hard start this morning when I left. But none since then. Hopefully that means tomorrow's cold start will be good too. Im relieved...- Mikloangelo

Catch can and PCV Valve installed. Drove it around today not much but enough to fill up the tank and warm it up. Tomorrow will be the real test when I drive 2 hours to drop off some stuff at my moms house. Praying that I quit burning through the oil now and my hard starts go away.- Mikloangelo

So before I start any of that. I think my problem might be the PCV valve, or lack of. When putting on the intake manifold fold and the new valve covers i didn't think to put one on. I connected straight from the valve cover nipple to the intake manifold. Reading up on it, it seems to fit my...- Mikloangelo

Miklo's 2001 Silverado 2500HD Build Thread
Decided it was time to go to my lease and do a bit of work and give me a warn and fuzzy about the engine. Drove 93 miles to my moms house to stay the night. In the morning, I had a low oil light. Added two quarts and then drove 40 miles to get my Tractor (7800lbs with trailer) and drive it 70...- Mikloangelo

Ambiet Light Sensor
What does the ambient light sensor actually do, other than turn on DRL? It appears my truck had the DRL delete and has an extra turn signal in its place. I ask the question because when I replaced my dash with the TEMU dash its hole for the ambient light sensor is larger than the original. Which...- Mikloangelo

I also decided to install a back up camera on the tailgate. Took a bit to route it and wire it up but now I can see behind the camper shell a bit better. Link to Back up Camera- Mikloangelo

When Start the truck up it kind of sputters and takes a second for it idle out. I assumed it was that the fuel rail is losing pressure or not enough but the TBSS fuel rail has no Schrader valve to verify. So i decided to go on the internet for a solution so I can verify my fuel pressure. I found...- Mikloangelo

Also found out after I wired up my radio to the steering wheel that the clock spring is bad in the steering wheel. My horn and radio controls don't work. Unfortunately the coil is also hard to find. So i need to try and make a trip to a junk yard sometime.- Mikloangelo

Got the HD grilled installed. I guess the bowtie emblem is ridiculously hard to find unless you buy a blacked out or plain billet one. I think the other grille grew on me because the inserts are metal and you can see it thru the grille. But ill roll with this for a bit. I also installed two...- Mikloangelo

After taking it apart, i grabbed a can of never dull to brighten it up. I rubbed it down and then went back over it with aluminum foil, then back over it with...- Mikloangelo

On another note. Nothing broke when the tuner started it up and did his thing. No leaks found. So thats a huge weight off my shoulders. My biggest worry was that I damaged the internal transmission pump when mating to the engine. I had a spacer on my crank when found the torque converter...- Mikloangelo

Got her home and back in the driveway. Tuner said he made 302rwhp in second gear. I expected more, but it being a 4wd 2500hd with stock trans and converter, all terrain tires, and sticking with the clutch fan may have something to do with that. ;). Im sure the tuner was a bit more conservative...- Mikloangelo
