Default Finally!! 2 Miles On The Truck Sunday!

November 7, 2004 is the last time the truck was on the road, and Sunday it is alive again! I actually drove it around the block and put 2 miles on it! I am having some wiring problems, but hope to work them out this week. If you guy don't know what I have been up to, I just got done with my T56 swap in my 2002 Silverado! The clutch feels great and I never stalled it! Shifts very smooth since the trany only has, like, 30 some miles on it. The hurst shifter is very smooth too! Can't wait to get the Z06 clutch broke in! Sunday was a good day!

sounds like me, I tore mine down thanksgiving week and just got mine running 4 days ago, so i know how you feel man. It feels great to be back in my truck too. Good luck on the wiring just be patient. I had some wiring issues that took a couple of weeks to figure out.

I decided to leave the auto electronics plugged in, till I figure out what wires to splice. I put the truck in drive and it started right up, then I lowered the truck off the jack stands and the thing would not start. I could not find D 3 2 or 1, well nothing at all. When I would find 2 and it would not start then it would and so on and so on. I cracked the black box thingy that is on the auto trans so I think that is it. I don't plan on using it but it would sure be nice to brake the Z06 clutch in. If any one could look at what wires I need to splice that would be great. I think I need to connect thermal C with D or maybe F, I don't know! I cant even unplug those stupid connector because it looks like the factory put super glue on them.

I did not think it would take this long, but I needed to get parts and fugure out what the hell I needed to all get. I have never put in a clutch before. Let alone a whole transmission. The onluy think I have done is headers and a stall! Oh ya, and I got a girl friend ($$$) and moved out of my parents house ($$$)!

If you get it fixed by the 10th are you going to National Trails?
I was planning on going there last Sunday but got a nasty cold,
If you go there look for a Z71 running in the 10's that will be me! J/K
