Yeah Im leaning more to the 5.3 I found one in austin the guy is selling. Your right the interior is pretty cool I like the gauges on those trucks. I saw sum on carid.com for a 05 silly but didn't see one with a trans temp gauged

hey guys im thinking of getting my son a rst truck as a graduation gift. can anyone chime in on which one is better, faster. ive seen the 4.8 with 5 speed and the 5.3 auto. then they have the john moss edition and the chip foose. i have found a couple for around 14,000 with the 4.8, and only 1 with the 5.3

its white smoke when i floor it coolant level dosent seem to drop. oil pressure is at 45psi, i dont have a overflow catch can. the intake was leaking from front and back. just turned it on and its still leaking. dam oil leaks

i changed boths gaskets just to make sure. it dosent overheat and i havent checked the oil level. i does smoke when i drive it. i just had this motor rebuilt 1 week before the head gasket blew. i know for sure it had a sleeve in one of the cylinder before i took it to the machine shop.

whats up guys. i just replaced my head gasket in a sbc. my question is what can i add to my oil to get rid of the old milky oil. i have already changed the oil and filter twice and the oil is still milky

What's up guys. My blower motor stopped working it cold air comes out of vents when I'm driving but I come to a stop an nothing. I did alittle research an came up that it might be the blower resistor module can anyone let me know where that's at also is there a test I can do to make that is the prob. Thanx

well guys i didnt know where to start so i replaced the fuel pump, fuel pressure reg., map sensor, the cat. i thought i would start and run good. well it didnt. it only starts if i pump the gas pedal and it idles good for about 1 min then stumbles and dies. if i disconnect the vacuum line that goes to the pvc it idles high but stays on so i bought a new one and same shit. after i replaced everything i cleared the codes and gave the scanner back. but the cel did come back on. anyone have any other sugestions thanx

to be honest with you guys i have no idea how many miles are on it. i bought it used about a year ago its showing about 186,000 miles. when we first got it we did a full tune up from the airfilter to the fuel filter, wires plugs oil change, thermastat, coolant. the only reason i changed out the injector was because it was leaking onto the exhaust manifold. i was told that 40psi is not enough fuel pressure that its the pump. just seeing those plugs had me worried it might be a internal thing. changed the plugs and still it dosent idle unles im constatly on the gas and no power at all..

well i took out my spark plugs just to see what they looked like well check them out. can anyone tell me why this happen or what caused it. http://i616.photobuc...sparkplugs1.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt242/dublenut/sparkplugs2.jpg

my sons 96 s10 with a 2.2 is running like crap. i just replaced a leaking fuel injector 2 days ago. well yesterday it breaks down on the highway it just started running rough and shuts down. when we go to start it the motors turning over you can hear like back fire coming out of the throttle body it will finally start but wont idle the more gas you give it the more it starts poping out of the throttle body. i replaced the map sensor its still doing the same thing. i checked the fuel pressure and im getting 40psi with key on. im not sure what else to check it almost feels like my truck when the cats got clogged. i did run a scanner on it the codes that came up are p0106,p0107,p0140,p1133

Not where I'm at. Can anyone with a scanner delete the rear o2 sensors

well guys i said f@#k it. i went ahead and cut out the cats now the truck seems to have its power back. now i guess ill run a straight pipe in place of both cats. what kind of issues should i expect to run in to. by the way guys thank you for all your help. thanks fireman you really helped me out.

Well dam. I hope I didn't mess anything up in the motor I drove it about another 40 miles home before it turned off. Well I'm going to cut the cats out tonight. Can I just cut the cats out and run straight pipe

There is a rattle coming from the engne bay and the CEL is flashing. I'm not sure about the smell I'll check that when I get home hopefully it starts

alright here the codes P0300,P0101. its driving very rough i couldnt take her any higher than 50mph
