Brandon is 100% right. When they redesigned the trucks for '03, they made the brakes bigger and therefore made the smallest wheel you could fit on it a 17" rim. I also know this from experience, as when I was shopping wheels and tires last summer, I found out that you can not put a 16" on these...

Glad to hear she is doing better Pepp and like has been said... I like how she thinks and she is for sure a keeper. :thumbsup:

Seeing it all come together now, that's a pretty wild ride you're going to be behind the wheel of. I like it the more I see your pictures. I looked back in this thread and didn't see it, so I'll ask here. What are your plans for paint for this rig? Keeping the 'School Bus Yellow' or going with...

LOL!! :rof: Hey, what can I say... I must have some decent taste in avatar pictures. :hihi: And don't worry, there's more of them to come thoughout the summer. Figure I'll do a new one every week.:thumbsup:

Hope is all well with your wife Pepp. Keeping her in my thoughts and prayers.

Nice job, I like that a lot! Looks really sharp! I'd like to do something similar like that along the bottom of the door panels on my truck along with the grille and front/back bumpers. A friend of mine used the rattle can stuff on his grille and bumpers on his Ranger and they turned out...

That looks really nice... and really expensive! Hope you get a nice discount on it. As a teenager I would mountain bike like nobodys business. An uncle of mine and me would bike during the summer time up in Wisconsin on a hand full of the trails up there. There were weekends where we would...

I've only towed at bumper pull and it was put to good use, but after being in a hand full of 5'ver's while I was traveling, I don't think I would ever buy anything else other than a 5'ver. My bumper pull was 8' wide, but didn't have any slideouts. If I were to get another pull behind camper, it...

Hope it is an easy fix for you Pepp and doesn't turn out to be something major. Best of luck to you with that... and convincing the wife. ;)

Was the 4.3 V6 diesel in the Chevettes? I remember my Dad's uncle (my great uncle) having an '82 two door Chevette with the 4.3 diesel.

I am curently using Mobil 1 5w40 and have used it year round since about this time last year. I have had no issues running the 5w oil year round. I have ran it in other trucks as well in the past during the summner and again with no issues.

Sears, I would think that somewhere in the neighborhood of 160-165* IMO being that you have a mild tune and larger tires. It's one of the few things that I really don't like about our trucks, the lack of a trans temp gauge in the dash gauge cluster. When I get my triple pod gauges that will be...

I've ran both 15w40 and 5w40 syn and both are very good. If you are concerned about the cold weather with the oil, then I agree with everyone above and say stick with the 5w40.

I always have had the belief that anything that has any kind of computers or electronics, it's well worth an extended warranty. Anything I have bought that is in my house or in the garage (truck) I have bought an extended warranty. Electronics go out over time in anything, and with a truck or...

WOW! 5 years and 160k+ miles is quite impresive Mike! Mine seems to have the tendency to eat bulbs.

Wow! They look like they are definitely worth the investment! I will be looking into getting one for the truck for sure.

Going with those 8' floresent lights is a good call. They put out plenty of light for any kind of workspace. Uncle of mine has them in his garage and loves them. And where you live, make sure you get the fast starting ballest so they light up to full power quickly in cold weather. The last...

I've always had very good luck running the white bottle of Power Service in the winter (16oz per tank) and the silver bottle in the summer time. For a long time I also ran the 16oz of 2 cycle oil (blue gallon jug at wal mart) along with the Power Service. Haven't ran it since last fall. Of...
