    SPF - Edgestar 63QT Portable Fridge/Freezer

    I've got this exact fridge (albeit with a silver cover) and it is awesome! Only thing is to replace the 12v plug receptacle(plastic will crack) with high quality connectors. Goodluck with sale and great price!

    Bars leak is good stuff as well from what I have heard. With Dexcool I aired on the side of what GM says is okay with Dexcool,

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    This is a common problem if you can confirm you've got an affected truck. Put some dexcool approved stop leak and it will stop. My other truck had over 100k after use the stop leak and it never started leaking again. I never confirmed if I had the casting mark...

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    I still have mine. I also broke mine (When i got the lift kit one of the bolts sheared) I also didn't notice a difference until I saw it. I left it awhile without it connected, but because I tow ended up reconnecting it and put in grade 8 bolts, and it's been a while now and a few harder trips...

    Very true on a daily... Even with it really just being a towing/ haul/ camping rig, I figure it looks a lot better than the pinstripped fading black paint... However I will miss the character. Many a times, a few "extra" lifted silverados pull up next to me with never seen off the road shiny...

    2004 Chevy Tahoe Z71 Front/Rear Bumper option

    If you ever find or design anything for the fuel tank let us know! The u-joint guards are around, I had one on my 10 bolt, and it never got a scratch. Haven't gotten around to it on the 14 bolt. I would go for a upgraded diff cover first. I don't know if it's worth the weight for the tie...

    +1 to what justcuz said, all true. On the flipside (and why I prefer SHORT less than 2" spacers.) is that they still give me the same rate, but bring the resting height back up to level when loaded (compare to stock length springs at least). This allows for greater articulation in a given...

    2004 Chevy Tahoe Z71 Front/Rear Bumper option

    Before I got my lift, I couldn't find any skids for the front and made something out of some 1/4. A local shop could do it for <$100 I am sure. Also, for 1500 suburbans the 2500 skid plate for the transfer case bolts right in! That's a good one to have. I've been looking at front bumper but I...

    Haha you don't like it? It's definitely less gloss/white than in the picture. Maybe a tad lighter than "ship gray" I debated leaving the rub bars black, but decided against it. I figure I can always plastidip them black, if i Like. I'm leaving the wheel arches, handles, and side mirrors...

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    I had the same problem. I got some 2" steel coil spacers from ebay for like 40 bucks. They work nicely, and in fact I have them on my 6" lift right now to reduce the rear lean...

    Good transmission shop in Denver area?

    Damn, sorry to hear that martin, especially right before a trip! Looks like you found a place and you have a time crunch, but in my opinion, find the place your local utilities use for their 1500's. There is always a shop/ guy in every part of the country, that solely builds 4l60E/4l80E's all...

    First layer done! Really digging the color ( it's a little more gray than in the picture) definitely going to help with heat.

    There are the best starting platforms for hauling people on and off road, great start! (We are matching except I don't have z71) Martin- I believe you are correct the G80 was not included in the Z71 package for GMT800's, it was simply a 900-1200 option depending on the year The G80 or "gov...

    Yep, while trailering I definitely do the manual shift method and don't use cruise. However for these long trailerless cruises, it would be nice to enlist cruise control for places like 5 and other long straight semi-flat stretches. I will update if I find anything- it looks like most of these...

    Tablet or Garmin, what's your poison?

    $40 on Amazon, can't beat it. I have had the garmin, etc., which for durability are 100% better, but this thing never leavers it's cradle on the dash- not going to break there. The amount of options of google play and downloadables in unbeatable...

    Thanks for the insight! If you ever do play with the shift points, etc., let us know how those work out. I had my gauge cluster reprogrammed for my gearing and larger tires, for 100 bucks all said and done... If I had through about it, probably would have waited until getting on of these...
