    Cracked mains

    I cracked an 01 block in exactly the same way. I was doing all sorts of stacked stupidness at the time and had way too much timing in it. Finally spun a bearing and found the cracks during rebuild. Looked just like that.

    FYI NY set to pass gun laws

    As you can imagine as a NY'er it has been a tough week. There is a long road to ho but we won't give up, we are fighting for ALL of you. NY is the battle ground, fight it here or fight it in your state. I have been pretty down about this, my truck and range time are some of my most...

    Got my concealed weapon permit today !!!

    Congrats Trent, I live in NY have an unrestricted carry permit and I am an NRA instructor. I think everyone should have the opportunity to carry. It's a PITA here in NY to get but once you have it it's very easy to carry, not many restrictions. Couple things carry a firearm that you shoot...

    6L Vortec Problems HELP!!!

    Ben I didn't say it was done...:roflmao: I've got about 2 hrs more work into it then what it takes to pull it out. The iron heads aren't really any different than the aluminum, especially in a truck. I have been offered a set of l92's but that seems like a waste. The boss just went out the...

    6L Vortec Problems HELP!!!

    I have a 6 leaker torn down for a rebuild in my garage right now, its our 200K plus shop truck. The oil pump died and did bad things to the bearings. Anyway this truck has never had head gasket issues or really anything wrong with the engine. Its the old iron head LQ4 and the coolant...

    Question: Million Dollar Silverado

    Considering the LS engines didn't go into production until 97 that would be one hell of a production error. Somebody smuggled them out of R&D and installed them in a truck that was never designed to take them. Add that to the fact that there was no SS truck in the years 94-96 and I think it's...

    getting nervous

    I'm 33..been married since 200....5? I think...so what is that 6 years. We have a wonderful 2 year old daughter. I was with her a long time before we got married so it didn't change much of anything. The dynamics of the relationship were already set. I couldn't be happier. The biggest key...

    Crower camshafts

    I wonder if they re-carburize the cam after it is re-ground. I bet that is fun to keep under control and come out with a straight part.

    Beer of the nite

    Just discovered Smuttynose IPA little dark and heavy for warm weather drinking but pretty good stuff, I am on the lookout for High Seas Uber Pils. Lighter and crisper for warm weather but still lots of flavor, not a boring yellow beer.

    My osama rant

    Everyone is entitled to believe what they believe, and I do not believe that the richest most powerful nation on the planet doesn't have a few skeletons in the closet. But in this case, I don't see the motivation of the US government to perpetrate this crime. It's just way to much work. What...

    My osama rant

    I agree with Mackin....I think he was "buried" at sea to prevent religious uproar over improper burial traditions. Although many Islamic leaders have already condemned this as improper. Ironically, not so much that we popped him but that his body wasn't treated properly. Can you imagine his...
