Finally posting a "build" thread. The progression of my stupidity.

The more miles the "Towhoe" gets, the more she's referred to as "'Ol Girl" instead.

Towhoe is pretty good.

180,000mi Tahoe happily living between 3000-6500 rpms. She handles the curves quite well considering the 3" lift and mud terrains.

Yeah, that's a tune I found on HP tuners website which I believe came from a guy with a truck because he said it will chirp second and third. No luck on 3rd with mine.
But that's also how I broke the 10 bolts was by getting a little greedy with that tune. Still haven't taken that apart and figured out what actually broke. But put it back to that guy's tune, and put the 14 bolt in, and no issues.
The 10 bolt actually lived on that guy's tuned for a year or two I want to say until I changed a couple parameters a bit on the aggressive side apparently.

Nice build, My current plan is for a very similar build on my 06. I am also building my motor with The Truck Norris. How do you like it? My tuner has reservations of how well it will perform with what i am planning. I also love the "Luvs" in the back ground, my folks had one when i was a kid, they bring back fond camping memories.

Got some maintenance taken care of.
New fuel pump and vapor canister.
Unfortunately the only reason I was hoping to have to drop the tank and swap fuel pumps was the quest for more power, but reality said otherwise.
All things considered, all the miles, all of its years of snow, and all of my years of dirt, the top of the tank was actually really clean.
Only a bit of dirt underneath the lock ring for the fuel pump.
Inside the tank was completely spotless.
The filter and fuel pump housing said otherwise.

I actually haven't gotten to put it in yet. California smog laws ruin everything.
Just had it sitting around. And actually debating putting in the BTR torque cam instead so I don't have so much idle chop.
Oh nice! My dad liked them when he was growing up, and then when it came time to get me a car at 16 he found a baby blue 78 and so I drove that around for the first few years, ended up tracking down one of my own, four-wheel drive later, and I've had that for almost 10 years now.

I've had the truck Nora sitting around for quite some time, just got the torque cam today.

What's even worse, is I've had a Whipple supercharger kit sitting around for like 3 or 4 years now.
