What we're doing today and hoping to get a couple other small things in however this is priority to hopefully cur or answer tye next question.. while air cleaner is off another will be andwered...

Is choke stuck shut...

At anyrate ran out of fuel almost yesterday it warms me and I keep 5 gallon hi test in it for just in case I'm not keeping track of milleafe.bc gas guage took a crap.. which also remind me I need to get tat working along with other dash lights or whole new guage cluster even.



Edit update . Choke wasn't stuck fuel filter now inbumped key fired right up no pump so fuel pump is holding pressure atleast

 

[Chadwick]

[Chadwick]

Did you put heat sync grease under the module?

Yes one of things had to run to store for between fuel filter and cap rotor action. Just failed to put in pic.

 

[Chadwick]

Ordered. I have rebuilt a Big Block C6 years ago.. so why not, 700r4

No manual transmission.

 

[Chadwick]

Winch plate pieces.
Also on way home following from what I thought was a safe distance. A pickup with 2 couches strapped down. Looks to be secure, load . Was windy truck is moving from side to side in its lane. A bit more when oncoming traffic passes. On a state Highway as well. At any rate all the fricking sudden the top couch flew from his truck bed(at this point I realize it's a mf'n hide a bed) which wasn't for long no time to swerve or slow much I stabbed the fat pedal for an instant looked at Bonnie and said fuck hold on Bonnie. Went back to Skinny pedal and to the floor... drove right the fuck over what was a couch . And is now in a million pieces all over highway. Had more oncoming traffic and that idiot pulled over to the right almost immediately. Honestly had no room to do anything other than flatten it. Possibly saving lives. Idk, at anyrate everyone and Bonnie are ok.. we totally destroyed the couch.. and Beast has new headlights on the way.. and headlight adjuster screws.. it got front lmdrive fender even though it had issues already. But wow. How many would react or people to in time to stay calm and do the least amount of damage yet still have an accident. Btw almost all the couch stayed under suburban and in our lane who I hit it.. none of it really went off the road or into oncoming traffic even..

I seem to have a knack for when shit goes south irl.. I'm calm as ever and super chill almost cold to the situation.. Anyone else have this or been is situation more than what would be coincidence?

 

[V30crewcab]

looks like they owe you a front bumper too!

 

[Chadwick]

Chrome bumper being removed for winch plate and they are paying for seel for new bumper

 

[Chadwick]

A little progress

 

[Chadwick]

Waiting for dark to adjust headlights washed wheels and caps while I was at it. Had some spray black left.

 

[Chadwick]

New windshield today. Dash is next now that original for what's left can now be seen 👀

 

[Chadwick]

More bits and pieces. And a hint as to what's on its way as well. Dash is supposed to be here by the 3rd.

 

[Chadwick]

Some bits n pieces showed up again today 6" of lift no fuqn blocks.. and dash cover

 

[Levigarrett76]

I love the stance of that thing

 

[Chadwick]

1st test fit need to trim more of original to get better fit.
Honestly I'm not seeing any fitment issues ,other than trimming more out of the way.
Is this the reason people complian about these for?
It comes to done they are either lazy or expect perfection out of the box or clueless even.. at anyrate I'm looking for a good place in Beast to place/mount machete scabbard.... 💡 '?

 

[Chadwick]

Any rate cab got too hot. Almost as bad out in front. However got this handled today. With one of those little inverter welders picked one up it does stick wire and tig so far impressed with stick mode
