Doin good John, thanks. I should of taken this week off. # trucks delivering Friday, and no freight so far. Most places are closed this week. 2 trucks in Detroit and one in Topeka, KS. I did a little work to my engine on the weekend. finally got the broken studs out for the water pump, installed the pump and painted the front of the engine. Just waiting for my alt and p/s brackets and headers to tackle the rest. My buddy has a machine shop and does ceramic coatings. He will do my header's for free. I got my new injectors, cleaned and painted the fuel rail and sensors, and will install them hopefully this weekend. And you?

Morning all. Still cold, but it's time to pack the truck. #1 son has been working in Lethbridge and he is getting his own place for January. So dear old dad gets to use his truck to help him move. Good news is the Lethbridge forecast looks better.

Any chance you guys can do something about the cold before I get back?

Morning Fellas... Ray...how about you find some warmth and bring back with you? At least its sunny. Drive safe!!

Randy, 65psi front and 80 psi rear is the factory setting. I'm not about to buy a tuner just to reset the air requirements. I've read that the dealer has the ability to re-program the TPS but I won't bother it until I change tires. It doesn't make that much difference for me.

Have a great Day everyone!!

The white on it now is only epoxy primer, have been thinking of painting it a dark forest green metallic but still undecided. I've only done work to the cab so far but plan on starting work on the suspension upgrades sometime this spring. I have a low mileage 351/c6 for this one that I need to clean up before I get it on the frame.

I would have used a Ford power plant in the panel had I not done the frame swap with the C10.

OK that makes sense.............. as I have been shopping online lately I noticed trucks with Ford engines are worth more, I mean they're asking more for the trucks

That's because no Chevy guy wants to buy a Ford and no Ford guy wants to buy a Ford with a Chevy engine. So the Fords with Chevy engines need to be cheap in order to sell.
