Not a lot to hear really, its quiet!

A little update,
Put almost 200 miles on it now this past week. It runs like a champ! still have a few things to work out, but all in all pretty happy! Pulling the trailer a little tomorrow, going to get a piano. Then delivering the old TBI 350 to the next town over to a guy to put in his Wrangler.

With the stock 05 tune and adjusted for tire height, it got 14.2 mpg this week, and its been cold and it saw a lot of idle time warming up. The 350 got 12.5 and didn't have all the idle time.

I'll get some video soon. The L33 is STOUT!

In case anyone is wondering, putting a LSx in a 4x4 is the GREATEST IDEA SINCE SLICED BREAD! Driven the 94 out in the snow a couple of times now, its a beast! We are getting covered in the stuff right now, expected to get like 14-20" by noon tomorrow. Going to get out and see what she's made of tomorrow. At least try to take it around the block

the gmt400 design was a beast in its own respect. Wouldn't win any races or beauty contests, but they last a long time and, if equipped with factory G80, go like a tank through just about anything.

My truck has won me a few bets through some mud holes. It usually start with, back when it was stock mind you, "there is no way that stock chevy will go through were my lifted ford just got stuck"

As expected the 94 performed like a tank! Didn't go out a lot, took my 4 year old with me we had fun, busted a few drifts, but the drive way was fun enough




Going to be a day or so before the Buick hits the pavement

Bought a new set of tires for the 94. Got a set of 285-75-16 Yokohama Geolander AT-S. The 305-70-16 Baja Claws on the truck, I only saw 14mpg at best. Ran it for a few miles with the Yoko's and I'm getting 16.5! WOOT!! I haven't even really tuned the ECM yet either. It rides so much better now, and is nearly silent compared to the Claws.

What do you think? Not as meaty looking, but they are growing on me.
