Hey Steve guess what you're not a kid anymore, and like me you work on your feet all day. Having a lot of stamina after a day's work isn't as easy as it was when we were teenagers. However, Cocaine + some long drawn out cardio workout= your goals of stamina ....or death, but I think its worth the risk.

I'm no Pepper Potts........I'm just too dumb for this thread.

Wow I wish I had something intelligent to say. **insert witty smart person humor here** I don't how I can compete with Tony Stark and the self proclaimed genius anyway.

So since I was tested as a kid and scored 138+, your point is useless because I'm a fucking retard. IQ tests mean nothing.

Sorry ass town, it's been running into the ground for years.

Really won't have these type issues with GM. Abuse was obvious on the Camaro I rebuilt the engine in a few weeks ago, GM said fix it. The only time I have seen warranty claims denied was when a certain Vette showed up on racing slicks, and when a car had a salvage title. You have to scan and take screenshots of the computer programming on a GM and e-mail it to technical assistance to see if its been modified, and thats only required if its a V8 or deisel. Glad you guys got away from the Mustang, you're being upset about it was getting old so I'm glad you can move past it now. Congrats.

The issue in my opinion isn't really the rail itself but that the system is returnless causing an inconsistant fuel pressure. A 255 walbro really starts getting to its limit around 600rwhp, though some people push it a little further. This issue is compounded when you are talking boost and you run a boost reference fuel pressure regulator not to mention that it takes more fuel to run a boosted car at 600 wheel then it does to run an N/A car at that same level. This why its typical to see dual walbros, a return line, regulator, and aftermarket fuel rails at that level. The rails are really to make the plumbing simpler, because its commonly debated if the rails are needed for power.

FYI they are 6 speed automatics, though I am not clear on what if anything they did to the rear gear.

Aren't very many vehicle that you would have to drop the tank on to get the vent solenoid. GM trucks you do not.

Yup. Technically GM says that you should wait untill 100k to flush fluids and do spark plugs. If it hasn't been done I'd do it now, make sure if you do the transfer case that you use GM fluid, and Dex 6 in the trans. Personally I'd get some all makes and models Prestone for the coolant rather then the gelatin Dexcool. Other then inspecting items for wear, like the seperate A/C belt people seem to forget, there isn't really anything special to do. Use quality fluids and change the oil often and it should be a good vehicle for you.

A vent solenoid that is stuck closed will cause issues like that with the fuel filling, and it doesn't make sense that it would say tighten gas cap unless it's just kicking some generic code as opposed to a specific code. Either way it sounds like the gas tank isn't venting.

Like most my wife and I do what is needed to survive. I realize unlike most that I do not really understand what all goes on, because between politics and greed I don't think anyone but the decision makers can understand what is really going on. All I can do unfortunatly is keep rolling with the punches, and when things get really bad I do what I need to at that time. As hard as it seemed to do I have still been able to pull myself up, getting my career on the right track and buying a house, so I find it hard at this point in my life to dwell on this topic. Just my two cents, carry on.

Thats pretty common, most of them can be soldered back on. Some of them have to get the rear glass replaced if it won't stay. Most issues should be obvious, they tend to have leaks from the front diff and right above the oil filter there is a block off plate that leaks. Watch out for a loose wheel bearing as I've seen multiple that get a little loose and then fall apart. If it has AFM (active fuel management) keep the oil fresh and full, and be prepared for the risk of stuck lifters and broken valvesprings. They also seem to need EVAP vent solenoids more then most. Overall they aren't bad trucks, let me know if you have questions while you own it.

Wow.

Post in his for sale thread Paul, really :dumb:

The right way to discharge A/C is have a shop do it with a machine that can recover it. The hillbilly wrong way, crack something loose so that it seeps out, professionally I don't recommend this route but it sounds like you're stuck. Do you have a valve core tool? If so just loosen the core in the A/C line, but only slightly and let it out slowly because its under high pressure and will hurt you if it sprays your skin. Again this is not a safe method, but aside from having a machine recover it you'd need to find someone with a vacuum pump and a/c storage container and fitting to basically do the same job as the machine. Sorry I don't have an easy answer, and if I had my own tools like that to come help you I would.

I'm going to disagree, everything has an effect on what happens when you turn the wheel. From alignment to suspension stiffness, I cannot for the life of me find a way of agreeing with your post. Of course definitions are open to interpretation, but my interpretation is that of feel when turning in and through a corner hence why everything impacts my opinion.

Is this really the place for that? I'm inclined to agree with you, hence why I posted the way I did, but you're just derailing the thread further.

People take shooting way too serious for you? same reason people with have multiple cars with 20" rims on them, I dunno

So many things to post and so little time. I'm conflicted if I even want to take you seriously because the things you post are not popular on CR. There are a ton of variables that go into a decent paint job to do it yourself, quality of tools is big so no matter how good you are a harbor freight gun isn't going to get good results, also prep plays a huge role so you should do some research on what a good paint job takes to do. Otherwise you'd better keep your flame suit on considering the colors, bodykit, and gimmik supercharger shit you keep posting. In other words if you ain't the pimp who can handle all the haters just stop now.

Stop being an idiot that would be too much for a stock LS6. A D1 is plenty.

Well since I got married at 19 I had no money or credit. She picked it out and financed it, sounds kinda lame but she loves me. She's still here 12 years later. Everybody is different, I felt like a schmuck but she was happy and thats what mattered.

I was refering to stock, but yes I drove yours after I aligned it. It still doesn't really match the Vette or Miata in steering feel.

Which ever one of these OP doesn't want I do, these are both bigger then the old school 32" tube TV I'm watching now.
