My daily driver is 1994 Suburban I use to tow the truck back and forth to the track and shows! The burban is completely stock, but I am about to sling some money her way to make it a little more enjoyable to drive. With 205k on the clock I think she deserves some TLC.

Anyway, nice to meet you all!

DAMN you already have a great head start! Welcome!

 

Yeah, I am certainly no stranger to the GENIII V8, but I am getting a little tired of trying to make this poo poo 4.8 run with the big dogs. Its just amazing how a little stroke makes all the difference. I know guys with my mods on a 5.3 running low 12's and 6.0 running 11's on street tires. I guess live and learn! Thats what I get for wanting the 5 spd!

I see your in Lincoln... I am in Bellevue just outside Offutt, maybe sometime this summer after I get the new set up in I will bump into ya!

 

The 5 speed is holding you up you could drop 3 tenths atleast with an auto or a t-56 and short throw shifter. To put it as mjhoward calls it the stock 5speed is a :dump truck transmission"

 

Welcome to the forums!

 

Welcome!

 

1Slo01Z71, sorry I didn't see your post until today, but I certainly agree with you about the auto. I have run the auto w/ big stall setup before and it offers consistency and speed, but I rather enjoy rowing the old manual box! Now, not too far future I am going to fab up one of these Jerico "Clutchless" 4 Speed Manual and I will have the best of both worlds. My dad has one in his 64 Mustang and it is a riot.

 

So how many people on this board live in or around Omaha NE? This will be my first full summer here and I am hoping to get out and hook up with some fellow truck/car folks! I am from the coast were there is always something going on, but so far I haven't seen too much of anything. I know Parish and his crew run around over in Lincoln, but that is an hour ride for me from Bellevue!
