I must let you know, the PO of this truck showed me some play bois on like my 12th B day when he took me shooting, with no hearing protection.

Anyway he would approve of these ideas

I was actually looking for what plate I should get not the verbiage because the trucks kinda too stock imo for a custom name plate. But I might do like save the cougars or something plate.

There’s so many options in fl it crazy.

Went down and cleaned my shop up a bit before work and drove the dirt road way in the gmc. I’ve got close to 30miles on it so far with no issues, I think that warrants getting a spare set of keys made.

Anyway decided I’d see how bad this 4l80 first gear is and it impressed me! 1st gear and foot brake and it had no issues activating the g80 and digging two holes. I honestly expected it to just make noise and heat up the torque converter. Especially with half the gas in the tank being 5 years old. The G80 impressed me too, both tires spun from the get go and didn’t let up until I did. Much better than the G80 in my Tahoe which works about as often as people in my generation. (Not often) Makes me slightly less sure about the H2 axle swap I’m scheming.

However somewhere between the hole digging and some rough spots on the dirt road (which I just added to). The interior door handle rod jumped out of its plastic retainer rendering the interior driver handle useless. Guess my rod bending trick wasn’t enough and I’ll have to buy new plastic retainer thingys.

Florida is wild when it comes to the registration and titling of vehicles. I walked into a DMV with my aunt who just became the executor of the will. Within 10 minutes we walked out and the truck was titled and registered to me. No mention of it being totaled or needing an inspection.

Woot woot! Put 40miles on it already and it definitely has a small misfire at idle. Plugs and wires will be installed in the morning. The rear brakes leak but the master cylinder is segmented so the fronts are fine. The H2 axle and gmt800 brakes are the fix for the leaky drums. Which is the new priority for the truck, just need another simple swap kit from Ruffstuff.

Other than that it’s officially in daily driver status!

I’m starting to get heckled on the GMT40 forum for swapping out my drum brake axle for the H2 with disks and a locker. I didn’t realize how drum brakes had supporters this day and age.

yea gm engineers built the perfect vehicle 30 years ago, no improvements needed according to those clowns

Not so much for the stock 1/2 ton drum brake set up. The favorite swap is the 14 bolt semi float drum brake swap, like what comes stock on my girl's light duty K2500.

Who is heckling you at GMT400 forum? Decent members there.
