Anyone vinyl wrapped their truck?
I recently purchased cherry wood grain wrap intended for the interior and possibly the exterior moldings. I haven’t installed it so I can’t tell you if it is a success or failure.- mxer147

Actually, pretty easy to do just the upper, a little more work to do the lower since you have to remove water and power steering pump. The lower intake gaskets are a known issue so I proactively replaced at around 120k when I needed to do some other proactive work up top. If you see white smoke...- mxer147

Put a new upper plenum, valve cover gaskets, plugs and wires on the Pontiac Bonneville 3800, daily driver. Hopefully good for another 150000 rounds. Purrs like a kitten and less fluid leaks. Gonna deush the interior soon before the snow flies. Now, back to work on the square.- mxer147

Agree, love those aluminum slots but tire choices too limited. Thus, I sold my set for cheap.- mxer147

Test fitted the 20s before I mount 285/60s Goodyear wrangler on them. I should have enough clearance, right?- mxer147

What new tools have you got lately?
Tried citristrip on a section, kinda slow and only removed a single coat. Not a fan of harsh chemical risks, hoping most of those coats are thin bomb spray so the nylon paint remover roller works easy. If not, I will be considering plan B, not sure what that might be. Gonna take my time and... -

What have you done to your square lately??
I did pull the plugs but I left all the belts on so the power steering, alternator and water pump were also rotating. As the valves were adjusting properly, it got more difficult to rotate as we would expect. Maybe the GM hot cam also increases cylinder pressures? -
What have you done to your square lately??
Adjusted the rocker arms and carb, 350 vortec purrs like a lion, amazing how much quieter the valve train improved, and idle. Bent these grade 5, 3/8x4-32 bolts rotating the engine 4 complete revolutions. Also tightened the header bolts but still have a slight leak on passenger side, probably... -
Necessity is ??????? Study this pic
I believe it, you are an awesome problem solver. Those come alongs are worth their weight in gold. I used one to move my thousand pound safe from my truck bed when it laid horizontally. I pushed the safe out of the bed carefully just until it started tipping off the tailgate and gravity lowered...- mxer147

Necessity is ??????? Study this pic
Structural parts of your boom has or could fail so you secured it with a chain; using the manual winch to lift the engine off the pickup bed just enough so you can drive off and lower it to a an engine stand. OR Seeing how many replies you can get to your question?- mxer147

4.1 mpg?
Are you certain your odometer is correct? Do a mileage check on the road to confirm accuracy. I didn’t recalibrate my Duramax after a larger tire change so the miles and speed was incorrect.- mxer147

Another fuel selector valve question
Holley pump located on the inside frame rail under passenger seat between the selector valve and engine. Thank you for the information. I couldn’t find the selector on the website, please provide part number?- mxer147

Another fuel selector valve question
EFI now carbureted using a noisy Holley red pump pulling from dual tanks with six port selector valve. This evening I was going to adjust noisy rocker arms so I started truck and it died which appeared to be fuel issue. Both tanks are full but I hit the other tank switch anyway. I then noticed...- mxer147

What have you done to your square lately??
Fixed a dent which I missed repairing a dent in the tail light area a month ago. Also ground down last two welded holes in box corners. Losing outside sunlight so not making much progress after work during the week. Fall hunting and fishing gonna cut into my progress as well. And, we know winter... -

Taking off passenger head about 37 bolts so far
Yea, remove the water pump and radiator, don’t want to crash the radiator with the water pump when you remove the engine. Breaking it free of the engine mounts and tranny sometimes is a little unpredictable. You should have labeled those hoses and wires, and taken pics or it’s going to be a...- mxer147

Cab aluminum body belt
For the two tone paint, white on top, where do the two different colors line out in the door jams? -
Cab aluminum body belt
I did too until I found a narrow one in the bone yard and saw pictures with different size. I think @PrairieDrifter is correct. I’m a little partial to the wider version.
