Re: Muskegon , Mi the story I got was someone from lansing showed up to buy it and left a deposit pending a once over from his mechanic. one hour later the engine blew going down the highway. suposedly a master engine builder rebuilt the original motor to factory spec. they were breaking it in...

Re: Muskegon , Mi I talked with these guys over a year ago about the same truck I was within an hour of them twice and they kind of sluffed me off so I didn't go. sounds like a good ty though

Re: low boost I definately need plugs, wires, etc. no doubt about it. I do have an autometer A pillar boost guage and it won't go past 10lbs, only has that one time mentioned above, and now it isn't again.

Re: low boost well, changed the boost solenoid let it run for the 15-20 min warm up session again. drove around town a little bit with no hesitation, ran smoothly. finaly jumped on it a little and pop,miss, knock? sputter cough. tried a couple more short spurts, no avail. pop it outta gear...

Re: low boost I went to the chevy dealer today and ordered one. I drove the truck there and it was hesitant and stalling out so I drove back home and got my other truck. then later this evening my dad came over to see the truck and go for a ride as I've just gotten it and all. I had my wife...

Re: low boost I think I'm going to go ahead and replace the boost solenoid anyhow. I am curious though what is intaled in fixing the relayand/or testing it. these parts are definately vehicle specific and a little difficult to get a hold of. I couldn't find the solenoid on raceproven even using...

Re: low boost ok disconnected the boost solenoid.I drove around the block and just tapped the gas a little and boost went instantly 20lbs. I tapped the gas once more to make sure and got one detination and then idled it home. prior to this I checked the vac lines to the solenoid. so where do I...

Re: number matching? thats what I was looking for! I could check it off my 93 s-10 daily driver but that doesn't mean anything when it comes to factory specialty vehicls.

Re: number matching? thank you! does this vin directly correspond to the trucks vin? I assume it must but I tried this before with a classic vehicle that I knew was original and it didn't match. I found out later that there were only like 5 numbers that were the identifying numbers.

just curious if anyone here knows right off hand where the engine block vin would be. I have been checking out trucks thats engines have been " rebuilt" but I don't want something with a cheap cast autozone short block in it. If anyone knows please help.

Re: 19" rim ? allright I'm done. I passed the 8th grade unfortunately so I don't work at discount tire. I'm just a lonely carpenter who dables in automotive. I'm just used to offset setups because alot of people I know run wider front tires. what? wider front tires? auto crossing. wider fronts...

Re: 19" rim ? in order to keep the front and rear gear ratios within 1% as not to cause the center diff / viscous coupling to slip you must maintain the same tire hieght (26.5"= factory tire) when you increase the 2XX number or the tires prefix number it increases the width BUT it also...

Re: 19" rim ? ooh ooh let me, I never post anything. if you start with the same size wheel (17,18..) and end with the same size sidewall. then there is no difference save for width/contact patch!!!! yes! I don't know jack about syty's just want one and finaly got to answer yes! Tina you...

Re: Mis-information given now this is right up my alley. I work construction and I find myself all over. for instance in my town everyone wants a red lobster for some reason and by chance we built a few resteraunts in town. every time someone asked "whats going top be here" instant responce...

Re: sy or ty? the last three daily drivers have been reg cab trucks so I'm good with that, even if I am 5'11". I'm definately zeroing in on a sy. as far as driveability I am mechanicly inclined so hopefully I can hold my own. worst case senario is I keep it for a year and can happily say I...
