I dropped the truck off yesterday at Vicari Performance for studs and a few other updates.

I feel like it's Christmas Eve!!!

 

Awesome, keep us updated!

 

Just let me know when you need that whip.......

 

Hahahaa, I completely forgot about that! Thanks for reminding me!

 

Must be an inside joke?

 

For the sand dunes...I had inquired about going to the dunes earlier this year and Chad offered his spare whip for my truck.

 

Sounds like our fall GTG will be including a silver lake trip, we can do a test run then.

 

That would be sweet!

 

Heads are at the machine shop and should be done any day now. Gaskets were blown EVERYWHERE!!!

Other issues:
front driveshaft is toasted(bad double cardigan???)
#6 injector
#6 injector cup
coolant had PLENTY of fuel in it
IPR screen

I hoping the heads are OK

 

What do they want to fix the drive shaft? That's something you can pull out yourself and have done later. I think Weller Truck on eight mile does drive shafts. I can also give you a second opinion if you feel you need it, maybe stuff some grease into it if what I'm thinking is wrong with it to limp it along.

 

I will probably have him leave the driveshaft as I'm thinking I can do that on my own before winter.

A little grease ain't limping that along any longer....... Just have to gitter' done before September 19th to join our GTG silver lake run!

 

Haha!

The joys of buying a used truck!!!

 

Some jobs I hate doing. One of them being u-joints. I mean I have the press and all the fun toys, I just hate doing them. If the drive shaft was already out of the truck I'd just tell them to take care of it. But that's just me.

 

hmm, why in the world are there two sweaters in your driveshaft?


jealous of your work you're having done though. i want to stud mine in the worst way. this truck is fun to drive as it is, i cant imagine it with an SCT SRL+ tune on it.
