      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 =(

    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!

       

  2. 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.

      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...

    3. BlueAKSSS

      mobile 1 i good stuff been running in my srt8 for yrs and that all the sss sees to

  6. 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?

      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

      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

      Walmart has frames, the size I got was a 2'x3' foot frame. The exact size of the poster! Thanks again!

    3. Guest

      Guest

      Ah, is it a black frame? And no problem!

    4. BlueAKSSS

      BlueAKSSS

      Yeah its a black frame. The edges are black, sort of cheap but it works very well to flatten it and keep it nice.

  22. 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!
