Pulled out the A/C & front sway bar today. Finally warm out & dry enough to lay on the ground.

Gutted passenger door panel, headliner/visers. Alot of weatherstripping.

Noticing all the extra wiring. I might have to get a harness made so i can just do switches & push button start. Place here in mi makes them cheap

 

Can i run my rack & pinion dry & toss the pump? Reason is its leaking & i dont want to spend money on the stocker i'd rather save for manual at 1 point but i need to pass tech inspection & cant leaking.

 

Well i gutted it. Even threw out the carpet & jute. This wirings a mess.



I got most of dash & air bag i'm happy the actual top dont really have to come out.

Will the truck run if i pull the drivers air bag?

Looking at racing seat kits , started working for a friend again & got a co-worker whos a fabber. Said do a cage for free so thats a score. Just have to get there.

 

Hung my battery box up. I kept my hitch & spare winch cuz seen ppls traction probs. but this box is in wY of spare. Maybe i can hide it some how w a fake cut out spare. I also have a false battery for the front.

I used what i found in my barn & some bought hardware in stainless.
Will i have any probs mounting it here?

 

What gauge wire should i use for my batt. Relocation?


If i have a slight slip on my 4l60 when its shifting between gears. Can i save it w servo & shift kit or should be looking to rebuild?
If so i'm going Th400 for the fun of shifting myself.

 

Most likely if it is slipping it is too late.

 

Ok i'll ride it out like this. Only does it when i ***** foot it.

My photobucket wont do the video. Its under: budget silverado burnout- on youtube.
Some baseline stuff. I really want to get the weight & a 1/4 run.

 

4200lbs today at the scale. had 285's w the steel wheels & still full stock exhaust. But no front bumper.

Think the stock aluminum wheels, coil-overs & the headers will lose another 200lbs?

 

Maybe 100lbs ish.

Headers will likely add weigh, more metal. Stock 16in AL rims are like 18-20lbs each I think?? Should lose several pounds per wheel taking the steels off. If the 285's are LT's being KO's, you might lose an extra few pounds switching back to a smaller tire.
