Love the old conventional Petes, SS is by far better than chrome, just needs TLC.

When I did that we had several V12's with straight pipes.

Funny I just watched Blackdog last night!

The whole truck needs a good shining up. It's been a couple years. Farm life is hard on them.

Did SOD for a couple years, then it was beer. Sort of both sides.

9K is a lot, no matter what. Did they do a fair job though?

I can see not hauling the trash away. But no tools or doing the little things is not a complete job. I could see odd tool or other little thing but it sounded like, " I want them done and out"!


Tate, 2200 is OK for a 6ltr, but not great. I paid 2k for a 5.3/trans and ecm few years ago when they were not as easy to get.

Have you checked with your insurance and giving them the story? They may cover it then go after jiffy lube, was it?

Gruber, from Czech, Norway, Denmark area? Family in Minnesota?

Ouch, 5.3? Those are pretty cheap but don't all Denali's have the 6.0/2?

Where is my popcorn emoji....

Mission creep has begun....

Just a normal fluid change,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Suppose if you think about it....the engines is almost out now anyway true?  Cam change,degree the cam/proper oil pan gasket replacement, and maybe a look see at the bearings.....you said you were going to put a converter in it anyway....its a LS you can bet it needs new rods. Just thinking out loud here. 

You know Don he is right. What 12 bolts and its out? Torque convert which was on the table anyway. No pan leak, easier assembly,,,,,,,,,,

Don, that fire extinguisher is a bit or lots too small to be effective by the time you get to it.

Ah man!

I have a 2.5 Halon under the center seat and a 2.5 standard in the bed. Love Halon, just getting $$$.

I had to pull the rad, condenser and cut the rad support open on spartan

Sounds like a nice drive, hitting a few parks too?

Nebraska, doesn't some OLD guy live out there?

We spent really little time there. Road bikes in the AM, skiing when hot, drinking and pool at night, seemed the border patrol liked to chase me, never caught me.

I made my own set for the elky about 20 years ago.  1in is all, billet and had some crazy weight back there (cummins). Knock, knock.

Watches were getting to be a big thing at work when I left (BIG), I just use my phone.

I do like knowing altitude though, don't know why.

Might improve the looks of it too,,,,,,,,,,,

I liked the sliders and spacers. All the weight is on the sliders. Latches were a bit busy for me.

Also this should be done in the summer when you  can enjoy being in the attic

I did!


Nice grouping there. 7 or 10 yards?

We did my moms walls and the attic. She fed, I crawled, worked good. Attic was easy once you were up there, walls had no blocks but you should have seen the holes for just a 900sf house!

I did that about 20 bags awhile back, wall and attic. It was not fun but not hard.

Show us more Dave, I need to do that too.

House full of kids on vacation, its quiet.

I hate HOAs too and have beat them.

I remember those areas on the side from my old 96, pretty much the same.

Very nice fit and work by the way. The pass side will have lots of AC stuff under there, the drivers not so much.

Think there is a factory cover for all that too.

Nice spot for a shotgun behind the rear seat,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Water table should be good if I don't have water. I am seeing wells (USGS) at up to 200ft, but many are under 100, some at 25. But another bargaining chip for sure.

I was seeing 1500-2000 for a 120-150 footer with a quick search. Sure that is without pump and all the rest.

Honest people with level thinking know they are crooks. Most of the "crimes" don't even require "intent", just doing them is enough.

I fear for my kids and hopefully grandkids to come.

I like that! Have you done any square bodies? EI, mid 80's like my burb?

Having power nearby is definitely something I would like. Well or water is a big plus, just have to see. Trees and a stream would be nice. It's there, but pretty $$.

I like the idea of rolling land maybe against hills/ mountains. I doubt I will get a thing like Don has but like it.

What does a well run if from scratch? I have see props with a well casing listed which I take it is not being used or dried up. 

Just get it covered under your insurance (that's why you pay for it) and be done with it. Then let the companies battle it out. Not your fault so no points or rate hikes.

I understand its not what you want to do, but is it worth the bother?
