How did today go fellas. right now 50/50 if I am getting on the road in the morning. I know the show goes on rain or shine.
-
Im thinking 9ish.
Potential for flooding rains all weekend. I hope there wrong.
Shit I hope it changes. Due to work I can only make it on Saturday. I did call Carlisle and they said judging will be on Saturday (rain or shine).
-
I really hope the weather clears up. I think I just saw a 60% chance. When are you guys heading up.
-
I know haven't been around but I am still planning on showing up again. If all works out, should have a set of wheel for this show
-
Did a quick check of the lines. Some areas are rusted but no leaks from the lines. Will have to get the wife to help with the other part.
-
The original steel lines on our, (and all GM trucks around these years), are known to corrode and go bad. If your lines were bad enough to let moisture in they would be leaking brake fluid out. Are you losing brake fluid? Have you checked your master cylinder for leaking? The fading brake pedal is a pretty good indicator of a leak somewhere in the system and if your not seeing an obvious leak at the wheels or lines I would suspect the master cylinder.
The loud hissing that you mention makes me suspect the vacuum booster. First thing that I would do is get someone to press the brake pedal while you listen to the brake booster from outside the cab with the hood open. I don't know that the hissing necessarily means that the booster is bad. If you had a vacuum leak in the booster the truck would run like poop.
Good luck and let us know what you find.
Thanks for the info. No noticeable leaking fluid and the reservoir stays full all the time. I will get under the truck to take a look but last I checked everything looked fine. I will keep you guys posted.

Good Evening fellas,
I have a 05 1500 Silverado Ext Cab with rear drums (138,000) and I am having a braking issue that I am trying to diagnose. My current setup:
Power Slot Cyro treated Rotors
Hawk LT pads
SS brake lines.
I have bleed the system twice. First myself and then the 2nd time I took it to a shop. After each time, the brakes on the truck felt great for about a month or so but now the spongy brake issue has come back. With the truck off I can press the brake pedal and load of the lines and they will lock with no movement. When I do drive, I have to push the pedal father to the floor then before but the truck will stop. When I do press the brake pedal, I hear a loud hissing sound from under the dash when pressing the brake pedal. I have read that this trucks have rusty brake line issues and I am wondering that the rusted lines is introducing moisture to the brake system.
Had anyone ever experienced this or any thoughts on what it could be?
Sidenote: getting ready for GM nationals again

damn dude that blows atleast you have it getting taken care of
Yea man but it is kinda of a a good thing. I was going to get the front bumpers repainted for another show but at least now I won't have to come out of pocket.
-
So I get my 3rd place plaque in the mail from the show and some idiot decides to run a red light the same day. He is completely at fault and my air bags didn't deploy. Going to get her back better then before.

Congratulations and it was great to meet you.
It will be nice to see the different videos of the burnout contest. I know my brother in law worked on his truck for weeks and was so happy to win it!
Great meeting you guys also. Looking forward to next year. Man he did his thing during the burn out! Way to take king of the hill!!

Good evening,
Me and a coworker are put together a small car show for Greystone Inc & Habitat for Humanity out in Warrenton,VA. If any of your guys are interested let me know. We wanted to start pushing this earlier but shit happens. Here is the info:
Car & Truck Show for the people
So please, shine the whip up and come on out for a good cause. Hit me up if you need anymore info.
-
Sounds good bro!
-
Thanks fellas.
-
It is perfect but only raspy at the top end. Sounds like a old school at WOT. When cruising around town it is just fine and the drone isn't too bad in the cabin (wife approval). Once you hit it though is when you really hear it. I will try and get my video camera and get another sound clip of the exhaust sometime this weekend.
-
Enjoy
Mods: Airraid CAI, LPP long tube headers (no cats) 3in to dual 2.5 inch outlet from prostreet muffler.
Shout out to Mandrel Bend Solutions for doing the custom exhaust work. Great price and excellent work! Even the guys at the shop were surprised at how good the truck sounds.

Well guys I know I haven't posted here in a while. Been crazy from moving, wedding planning and stuff at my job but my old exhaust has finally rusted out. Whoever did the install before did a shitty job but here is a sound clip of the old exhaust (I have relocated the HIDs in this vid by the way):
