Daryl Z71's 2006 Silverado Z71 Re-build

[00Silverado4x4]

With all the work you're putting into it, that truck shouldn't see the junk yard until they quit making an engine to go under the hood.

[Daryl Z71]

I hope that turns out to be true. As long as I can keep the rust away that shouldn't be a problem.

[Daryl Z71]

Front brake pads, and LEDs for the interior came today.

Just about finished up now. Tightened up all the bumper, and hitch bolts, and mounted the trailer plug bracket. Have to get some bulbs, and a few bolts to mount the plug then I'll have it finished up tomorrow.

That's lookin' good, Mister!

 

Did you have to replace the spare tire hanger, or were you able to just Chassis Saver it?

Thanks. I just painted it with Chassis Saver. It wasn't really that bad rust wise, and it still reeled up and down pretty easy.

Woot woot! You're now closer to having a better truck than any gmt900 and maybe any K2.. lol

Picked up some new bulbs for the tails, and stainless bolts, washers, and lock nuts to bolt up the trailer plug. I'll get a few pics tomorrow.

Haha! It's about to slow down though. Have to buy a house early next year so most of the extra money will go toward that fund soon.

[Texas Husker]

That's what brought about the end of my Vette , but the new truck and house are still a close second...

[Daryl Z71]

I can somewhat relate. It brought an end to my 6.2L Silverado. Payment was just too high for the way things worked out.

[Daryl Z71]

Finished up this morning. Took it for a 20 or so mile drive, and boy does it drive a lot better. Power delivery is much better on slight hills, and pulling out from a stop. Can't wait to get the front end all fixed up. This thing will drive like a dream after that.
