    Man look around the country then. Thats waaaaaay over priced IMO. You can find those all day long around here for 10. Hell mine is MINT with alot of upgrades and the dealer was only offering $8K last year for trade in. Told yea right. I'll keep it and give it to my wife when I get a diesel...

    LB7's had injector issues so remember that. That 8.1 isnt too bad considering the miles. All be said though if you can get that for 10 or under thats what Id do so I wasnt worrying bout when I would have to be coming up with more than a few G's to replace injectors.

    2000 C3500 C&C poor fuel economy: suggestions?

    That mileage is just right. Dont expect more. Its a big truck with little motor unfortunately so that bout it on mpg. Hell I dont get those numbers with mine. Empty highway @ 80-90 mph I get bout 12 on a very good day. Was better at 65-72 mph but I cant go that slow. Loaded I see 5,6,7 in city...

    Sea Foam

    Excuse my ignorance but why put cardboard over the top of engine? On another note I put in some Mystery Marvel 4 oz in my tank bout over month ago and loss some mileage (yes I can tell sometimes...lol) so would it hurt to put the sea foam in now thru the brake booster? Also in tank afterwards?

    Sea Foam

    Man you arent kidding!!!! I had an old 79 K20 350 in it. Motor always dripped a LITTLE oil so after mudrunning I decided to powerwash EVERYTHING including under motor and all. Welllllll bad idea! That oil pan leaked like a siv. I tried replacing the gasket to no avail 3 times. Finally gave up...

    Exactly....chances are your not going to find that and if you do you will be traveling to get it. Its like finding a needle in a hay stack.

    You cant beat a 496. Dont get me wrong the 454 is a good motor and lasts forever too but for the price these are now I would definetly get a 8.1L. Ive towed my 18' cargo trailer outta town alot and have never had a prob with maintaining speed..even on hills. I roll out usually at 80 mph with it...

    2000 C/K cabin fan-only works on High

    Resistor unit under dash on blower motor I believe. Look on DP for the threads. Its a $25 part at parts store.

    couple questions

    Overpriced IMO. You can find 8.1L all day for that with same cab set up. I'd have an 8.1 any day over a 454. I say get em down to 6 or 7 and its a deal. Do your research and goto KBB and Nadaguides and work it to your advantage on your trade-in and that price. Look around and see what they are...

    98 vs 2000 350 Vortec: differences? (if any)

    IIRC 5.3's were only 1/2 tons from 99 - 07. The L33 was all aluminum and was from 05-07 6.0's were in 99 non HD 3/4 tons and 00 HD's and up

    98 vs 2000 350 Vortec: differences? (if any)

    Yea its was not wise of GM to offer that motor in a 1 ton or even a 3/4 ton. Dont get me wrong there alot of stuff you can do to it but it just lacks the low end grunt of a BB or higher displacement SB. I would say for towing your probably gonna struggle but for everyday use you will be just...

    School me on LED's and resistors

    Ok as usual Im on another kick to stand out. I love blue and had this idea. Im changing everything in cab to blue LED. Ive already got footwells done with LED pucks I found that have 4 LED's in em each. Looks great. Everything else including gauge cluster in on order. Now my question is.... I...

    (12/09/08) The Inagural Weekly Poll - Do you support the GM Bailout?

    Bout damn time RANDY! You and I been fighting for WEEKS to get a poll over there! I voted HELL NO. I think its complete BS that you would give a loan or anything else for that matter to a Co. just because they made bad decisions. Isnt that the whole point of owning a business? To make money? If...
