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.
-
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 =(
-
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!
-
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.

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!
-

Not sure yet I'll have to hold em up and see which one I like best. Probably the black one, and I'll use the other one for something else...
-
Yeah i'm glad I got extras too, will probably come in handy. When you put it on make sure to take a pic and put it on the Site Decals Gallery...
-
Will do!

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

It will . I gained 100 hp just by detailing. lol looks faster anyway
-
Haha thats for sure

I love amsoil too, but can't find any close. Had to order online. Put it in my front diff when I rebuilt it.
-
I've never looked for Amsoil around here but maybe I will next time around!
-
mobile 1 i good stuff been running in my srt8 for yrs and that all the sss sees to
-
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?
- Show previous comments 4 more
-
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.
-
my driver's side does the same turn on and turn right back off thing, but passenger side works fine
-
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
-
Two feet of snow over night and no power is not fun!

No power and still getting on SSS.com, what a trooper! Good luck on your finals this week Matty Ice.
-
Thanks Jason! Yeah I was on the site on my phone haha!
-
I wish we had 2 feet of snow here in VT. We have like two inches.
-
Lost 3rd and 4th gear on the way home.... Limped it back in 2nd. RIP original 4L65E

-
How many miles did you have on the original?
-
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.
-
Damn. I'm almost there.
-
New windsheild in the SS, no more giant cracks and chips! So nice, looks like a new truck.

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
-
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
-

Replaced both my heated seat elements today on my drivers seat, so now I have a heated seat again! The old ones were burned/shorted out bad!

Framed the SSS poster from Zippy, that I got though Jason. Looks awesome!!!

-
Walmart has frames, the size I got was a 2'x3' foot frame. The exact size of the poster! Thanks again!
-
Ah, is it a black frame? And no problem!
-
Yeah its a black frame. The edges are black, sort of cheap but it works very well to flatten it and keep it nice.
-
Haha, get a letter in the mail from the place I had emissions test my truck. "According to our records your 03 Chevrolet Silverado is due for a oil change (Mobile 1)". Little do they know I'll never take it to an oil change shop I only do it my self!
- Show previous comments 1 more

I went to buy oil for my bike today at the dealer. They tried to get me to let them change it. Then the guy said I should get at least 4 quarts. When my bike only take about 2.6. HUSTLERS!
-
Pretty ridiculous at least they tried to use Mobile 1 lol!
Yeah Jason we're on for Wednesday. I'm done after 4. Text me.

Geez, it's one thing to do it to an SSS but an SSSi, come on thats a collectors truck, it shouldn't see these winters
