and mines a OBS so its a little different, and i dont have any pics that make it look long, i took them all so it looked like a short bed lol
Right on! I've always liked the C10 and OBS slammed longbeds I've seen, and I haven't really found any NBS, besides it's what I have to work with.
welcome. #3 bcatriot:
Damn Straight.
You're welcome. & That's for sure, especially when you're in school.
I'm going to work at it, really just need to figure out what I'm going to use for the back end now. & I really appreciate it :happy:
Gotcha, do you still have it? Thanks for the lesson, I feel less like a n00b.
yea i still have my OBS it sits in my garage, im about to redo the bag setup, and convert it to the short bed.
Now that I'm home from school for the summer I decided to tackle a few of the not so fun & some of the fun projects that I've been waiting to do. So far it's been an adventure, including several trips to the stealership and several days without my ride. However I have a good parts guy who hooks me up with wholesale prices and then discounts. :mirinme:
-Replace motor mounts (passenger side broken)
-Install my OEM Trans Cooler
-Replace Oil pan Gasket
-Replace knock sensors, harness & all of the accompanying intake & throttle body gaskets blah blah blah...
-new Delco Iridium plugs
-Figure out why I have no E-Brake function
-Hopefully candy Tails & paint Lower valence black
I started with the knock sensors. Pulled the intake manifold and found this
Shopvac'd the hell out of it and then cleaned and taped the heads
Here's the culprit of that awful CEL. :clarksonbird: From R to L New, Old sensor (front) & rear sensor.
Back in with new harness and some RTV.
Did a quick hand polish to the inside of the throttle body while waiting on parts from GM after cleaning the damn oil residue out. It was black.
Feeling like a sir for doing this in only about two hours, torquing my intake manifold back down, the first bolt snaps. :tableflip: I had the of panic thinking it was broken off inside the head, however it wasn't & I just had to wait three days for new bolts.
Waiting on the new bolts I hit up the local flea market and scored this for 10 bucks.
New vs old broken motor mount.
Dropped the Oil pan to replace the gasket which, as I discovered, was riveted in by the factory.
Before cleaning
After cleaning
While I had the Crossmember dropped & the motor mounts out I ran the new hardlines for the cooler and bolted it down. DNFW cooked transmission that I just has rebuilt.
As of right now everything is reassembled, new plugs are in and the truck is running, well, tomorrow I'll put the crossmember back (I beadbalsted and painted it) and the front end back on.

That's exactly what happened to me with the intake bolts. So after that I said fuck it. No torque spec just tight with a socket and it worked fine. Runs good with no cel

I haven't posted anything on here in a while, I've just been creeping. But, if any of you follow me on Instagram, my 4l60 took yet another shit about 9 months ago, so I went car shopping while the truck was in the shop. Turned out the TC had a split in the casing which is what caused it to dump all of its fluid at an intersection in Tallahassee. I was dailying my grandfathers old civic (at least it was a 5 speed) and ended up test driving a 2010 STI that was traded at the local BMW dealer. Three days later, I had acquired my first boosted car. I guess you guys call them Turbocharged Rice Cookers, Khaos? Anyway here's pics

Nah, just the axle back, intake, and accessport. I'd like to do full turbo back, protune, and then work on handling some time this year I think.
Any plans for yours?

You worked fast! & future plans sound good to me. I would like to get a downpipe and Acessport first, and eventually am looking to end up similar to what you described. However, on a recent trip to NC with le gf, I was sideswiped on I-77 wrecking the front fender and then on the way home, the driver rear tire (Basically new GoodYear Eagle Sports that came on the car) shredded. So damage control first...
Damn man, sorry to hear that. Insurance covering it?
And I got the AP and intake locally from a friend for cheap so it wasn't a large investment on my part.
