Well my 02 chevy is retiring and has been replaced with a 04 CC 4x4 GMC SLE (Silver Birch) LB7


This past Friday I loaded the old 02 on the hauler and towed it to Fort Walton Beach with the 04 to have the level 5 Suncoast transplanted. Joe Webb and Company AKA Suncoast Convertors were selected for the operation and I very proud to say the outcome was perfection as expected. I have been around lots of race shops and performance oriented mechanics and the service I recieved at Suncoast was second to none. The only thing better than their there work was their willingness to go out of their way to accomodate my schedule Thanks Joe.

We took a few pictures of the c3's and c'1s since the level 5 update(APPROX) 40k miles 30 1/8th mile passes and 30 plus dyno pulls and everything was in good shapehttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/uploads/sdaver/2004-10-17_175623_c140k.jpg


Some light haze on the c3s but man they have caught hell .....c1s looks like new. The level 5 was money well spent


The extreme has been returned to TTS so Steve can update the sofware to the 04 programing. The Banks Exhaust and the AFE In take have been tranplanted and the FAAS Lift pump and the Autometer guages are next followed by Kennedy bright lite harness and the fifth wheel hitch. Hope to be done soon.....least with Joe's help the big Items are done..........

http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Rock On.gif SDaver! Gotta love a new truck. Glad to hear it's all working out. What are you gonna do with the old one? Will the ad to sell the 02 have "Great truck, never raced or dynoed, but I am selling because I flogged it like a rented mule"? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/hihi.gif


Good luck with the new ride.

Nice work Dave. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley32.gif Good to hear the Level 5 held up to that kind of abuse for that many miles. How much HP/TQ were you running?

All I know is that it is a little truck until you try to park it in the wrong garage and then its a monster that will never fit in there. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley3.gif


We are talking trucks right? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/hihi.gif

But the "feeling" of accomplishment, when you finally manage to park a big truck in a small space. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley9.gif
