Wow man! That's crazy... I've been doing the nickel dime stuff too... My oil pump started bypassing everything so I lost oil pressure... replaced that... Started to go into limp mode when I hit boost... hearing the tinging from the cats so I'm sure they're in pieces and plugging it up... I had gone through 6 4l60's and finally did the 4l80 conversion... it was getting very expensive.

Good to see you still around dcairns! How's the truck doing?

Seeing who all we still have from the originals in here! I still have my truck, although in need of a little TLC but not too bad for an 18 year old truck. I also noticed the new format of the website that erased all of my profile pictures and write up... I'll need to see if I can find any of it to get back to normal 😁

It's good to see that you're still making your bowties!

Welcome to the site, there is allot of great information on here and allot of experience.

I've missed this site and all of you! I've actually noticed there is a few more original members than I figured but it would be great to have everyone fir the early days still here. I deployed with the Navy on a customs mission.

Thanks everyone! It's great to be back!

Thanks everyone, the truck is still fully modded and only had about 20k miles more than it did when I traded her. I do have some work to do to it, tie rods, ball joints and maybe need to rebuild the diffs, I can here a low whine when I let off the gas.

Hey all, just thought I'd reintegrate. After having my truck for such a long time, I traded it in 2 years ago after I got back from a year and a half deployment to the middle east. I hated to do it but I was thinking about my family at the time. I missed it so much that I was checking around to see about getting another when I came across an ad selling one and low and behold, it was my truck so now I'm the proud new owner, again, of MY old Silverado SS. It's great to have hey back and great to be back online here. Cody

8 years active duty Navy and now going on 6 years Navy Reserve...Currently sitting in Kuwait doing a 14 month deployment...about 6 months into it right now...

Thanks guys for all the comments...sorry it's taken so long to post but I have just gotten settled enough here in the Middle East on deployment that I can finally get on the internet ...

Thanks man for looking out for me...since i'm in training for my deployment I did not see this thread...this sucks too cause I still need one, the dealership has it on order but don't even know if they can get it... Thanks again man for looking out Cody

Well, here are the first few pics that my wife has sent me of the new hood ($50 out of pocket ) And Yes, I notice the dealer installed my newly painted shopman bowtie upside-down too...

Yep, the tranny issues are solved. I had Hughes build me a street/strip 4L80E with the conversion for the AWD. Bought all the brackets, shortened and lengthened the driveshafts and she's running good...trying to nail down my tune again though.

Another positive is he dealership doing the repairs is doing a cowl hood for mee instead of factory...
