      NWAP? Is that a salvage yard?

    2. BlueAKSSS

      BlueAKSSS

      Ya its a salvage yard, Northwest Auto Parts. Someone already got all the cladding off the cab, but I bought the driver seat, so I can have a mint one!

  2. Just installed a larger transmission cooler on the SS, B&M 70274, and I put a new windsheild in last week! I'll post up a thread with pics of the cooler install in a while.

      BlueAKSSS

      I sure hope not I havn't had the best of luck with it! Me and my friend just gave it a full detailing after I replaced the water pump and belt so maybe it will feel better now.. LOL

    3. WantaSSS

      WantaSSS

      It will . I gained 100 hp just by detailing. lol looks faster anyway

    4. BlueAKSSS

      BlueAKSSS

      Haha thats for sure

  6. There goes the right front wheel bearing/hub..... Just glad that sound wasn't the front diff blowing up!

    1. Downeast Johnny

      Downeast Johnny

      Amen to that.

       

      I'll take a hub failure over the diff, any day.

  7. Would it be a bad idea for me to buy a MP112 and put it on the SS as a DD? Truck is mostly stock otherwise...

    1. f1ss

      f1ss

      How often do you drive the truck hard?

    2. silverado777

      silverado777

      Not at all. The 112 is a great DD. Just make sure you PIN THE CRANK and upgrade the trans.

    3. f1ss

      f1ss

      I was going to say if you drive it easy you might even see some minimal gains on mpg's. Mash it, you know the rest...

  8. Going to switch the SS to Mobil 1 synthetic tomorrow.

    3. BlueAKSSS

      BlueAKSSS

      I've never looked for Amsoil around here but maybe I will next time around!

      YOU SHOULD MAKE A HOW 2 ON IT. you have any part numbers for it?

       

    3. BlueAKSSS

      BlueAKSSS

      DORMAN Part # 641106 is the back rest and DORMAN Part # 641105 is the seat bottom. There pretty seat to change. I'll see if I can make a How-To in the how to section later tonight.

    4. idahoBLKss

      idahoBLKss

      Doesn't leak and looks great. Cost me $180, I know the glass is cheap by itself the install is expensive...

      COngras Matt, i hope it lasts ya more than a year.. mine needs 1 aswell from the alcan trip still

    4. BlueAKSSS

      BlueAKSSS

      My last one lasted from 2009 to 2011 so about 3 years! Not to bad and when I bought the truck in 2009 it still had the factory GM windshield.... lol

  11. Got the transmission all installed everything back togeather get in hit the key and the starter won't engage, tested everything, replaced neutral safety switch on the trans and still nothing no power to the starter sol wire. Anyone ever have this problem?!?

    1. BlueAKSSS

      BlueAKSSS

      Okay I'm stupid the IGN A 40 amp fuse was blown this caused all sorts of problems. Fixed now truck is back up and running!

    2. lgowen343

      lgowen343

      LOL it happens to all of us. Be proud you installed it yourself. Good job dude.

  12. Got my transmission pulled today, easier than I expected! Now to figure out what its getting replaced with.

    1. SSenvy

      SSenvy

      Cool matt... i guess.. it sucks, but she will be up and running soon im sure bro.

      How many miles did you have on the original?

       

    3. BlueAKSSS

      BlueAKSSS

      Ya it sucks but I knew it was going for a long time. Lasted over 150,000 on the original factory transmission. I would say thats a pretty good life out of it and I still made it home! Plan is to pull out the orginal and keep it to build up later and replace it with a used one for the moment.

    4. lgowen343

      lgowen343

      Damn. I'm almost there.

      Yeah it happens every now and then. I've got a similar setup but the stock chrome 20's with studded hankoook's. Works pretty good! I run the grey 20's in the summer.

    3. SSenvy

      SSenvy

      I bet your truck is a beast with studded tires on it. Hell mine with just AT's does Awesome. As for the chrome 20's, you suck lol.... Ill get some eventually... when im less poor, spent a ton of money this year... ugh =(

    4. BlueAKSSS

      BlueAKSSS

      Haha ya its pretty good with stud's especially on ice! I wish I had another set of chrome 20's for summer I've been eyeing some factory reproductions ones for a long time but I'm in the same boat $$ wise, I'm spending way too much on my 57 chevy project!

       

  16. So there are two clones of my SSS that go to UAA as well as mine for a total of 3 Arrival Blue SSS at the same campus. Kinda funny, not all in the same place same time but still.

      thats wierd lol. whyd ya take your hids out?

    4. BlueAKSSS

      BlueAKSSS

      Haha I took them out because one had a slight flicker that was driving me crazy! Haha, I might put them back in though in a couple weeks since they looked so good!

  17. Heated seats just stopped working,turn on then turn right back off on both sides. From what I gather it sounds like a bad module under the drivers seat that controls both?

    2. BlueAKSSS

      BlueAKSSS

      Yeah it sucks and of course it breaks in winter in Alaska... Anyways though Lefty I don't think its a fuse because they turn on then click and turn right back off. Thinking it could be a shorted element in the drivers seat or the module that controls both.

    3. monster1213

      monster1213

      my driver's side does the same turn on and turn right back off thing, but passenger side works fine

    4. A_FUrious

      A_FUrious

      the other day i started the truck up and it kept cycling through the heated seat levels then off then right back at it.. a day or so later it stopped and works fine now.. damn gremlins
