Glad you got the whole truck (longbed) pretty nice truck there.Hope you are well Blaine. Nice to see you pop in.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Yes sir. It’s a MPFI Vortec 454. I can almost make it from one gas station to the next!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

6 nuts and 6 hours later, I can check exhaust leak off the list! I really just took my time and can’t hardly believe I was able to get the exhaust flanges broke loose. L for… LOOSE Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
FYI, the door handles will pop off with just a screwdriver. They make a plate to prevent that if it is a concern.They are such clean trucks, wish they had the LS motor in them. The 5.7 was OK, 4L60 was the weak link. 150k and boom (ask me how I know)
Looking good. Don’t think we got the back story on how/where you picked it upSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I’ve never pressure washed it (I have home rugs) but nothing beats a commercial cleaner. I’d call a small local mom and pop company and offer to be flexible and see what they could do in their way home from another job etc.

I have to take the driver’s seat out to get it re-done and we need our carpets cleaned at the house anyway so I might see if they will do my truck while they are here. Solid plan!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Taking the carpet out to pressure wash is the only way to clean a nasty one. Well worth it imo. When a detailer does it, it pushes a lot of the funk down in to the insulation.
99-10 gm 2500hd w/ the 6.0 ls 10.5” ring gear 14 bolt rear axle should be a direct swap. It’s a disc brake axle and will gain you roughly 2” wider. Same one I built for Dons burb project

All jokes aside I’d say pull it and hang it up and pressured wash both sides then you can clean the candy out from behind the seats also Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Do the spring perches match on the 90-99 with the 00-10. Great axle though.When I took the front seat out of the Dmax it amazed me what I found, and I tried not to drop stuff!
You know, I have seen worse. Find someone to clean where it is or drive it to them.Is new carpet that much?
