Yea, we would not hesitate to pull the engine iff that was the case ... ... and I really miss working on my old 84 Chevy truck and 85 Chevy Camaro IROC Z28 ... Thank you Sir ... It looks like the major problem I have was the intake gaskets leaking ... Not the head gaskets. But I will get this verified by mt machineist friend soon, then we can make the repairs and get here running back to normal soon ... as for mods and upgrades ... maybe next time, but I think something to the EFI was done yesterday ...

White Lightning Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Hopefully the engine will be done by next weekend so we can get the sub enclosure out, bed cover off, take the bed off of the truck, and get to work on the frame's "C" notch and finish up on the helper air bag installation ... in the mean time ... I will have a "unused" amplifier ... So i plan to experiment !!! I think I'm going to upgrade my amplification on my dash 5.25" component set from 150 wpc to 250 wpc ... removing the LP2150 and replacing it with the LP2250 ... yes, 500 watts on a 5.25" passive component set !!! Then set up my 6.5" midbass drivers from a single LP2150 to a pair of LP2150s ... I think each amp will see 4 ohm mono, so that should make each driver with about 500 to 650 wpc give or take ... possibly more Not looking to get any louder, but more dynamics and definition to the sound stage and image ... Should be interesting !!! oh yea ... No subs, plan to run the door's 6.5" drivers absolutely fullrange !!! Got to make up the difference of the missing subs somehow ...

White Lightning Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Nothing set in stone ... I'm just curious to see what happens with the upgraded amplifier power ...Plans are to set it back up the origional way as soon as the truck is ready for the enclosure to be reinstalled ...then again ... Ray is probably going to need a test vehicle for the LP2400 to make and apearance at SBN this year ...honnestly, with all the work I have going on here ... this may not get done, just depends on if my not too lazy to work on anything that doesn't really need to be worked on ...

White Lightning Posted November 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Truck is running !!! All of the major problems with the engine are fixed !!!Only things left to do there is go back and readjust my exhaust doughnut gaskets so they will quit leaking, and throw in a gallon of antifreeze tomorrow ...Next on the list ... Relpace the heater core so me and the wife can have some heat this winter ...... and pull out the rear seat and amplifier rack so we can get the enclosure out to get it repaired ... Some more preventive work will be done to the truck also with this ...Making progress !!! one wood screw at a time ...

CleanSierra Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 The 4/6" drop looks great. That's my favorite drop on that bodystyle truck. You'll need that C-notch for sure, or it will beat you to death when that axle hits the bump stops and/frame(if you trimmed the bump stops). Looking great though, I'm loving it. In case I missed it, you said repairs to the box, what happened to it? Weather damage? Anyway, there is my quarterly check in, keep posting updates please Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Lightning Posted November 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I agree with you ... just don't care for anything lower than a 4 / 6 drop ... Just about every bagged vehicle like mine I see loses their use of the bed area ... and as you can tell, I need mine ... We will get that rear suspension done in dure time ... I hope ... ... and hell yea, I'm thinking the beating my truck took from the hail storm shook my accordian boot loose and water got into my enclosure area ... once the enclosure is rebuilt, I'm going to have to outsides done with bed liner material (or something similar) ... And thank you Sir !!! I may not get to post alot, but I'm keeping tabs on your build log too ... ... an for some reason, i have a cravin for some cool fiberglass work to be done for this year's competition season !!!
