01_Cummins_4x4

I just got this 75 Chevy Cheyenne SWB 4x4 from a friend of mine for $3,500. He just put a brand-new set of $1,400 35x12.5R15 Mastercraft Courser MXT tires on a set of $900 new Black aluminum 15x10 wheels. It has a modified SBC with an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake and a newer 750 Holley 4 bbl carb, and a set of headers. I just got a set of nice Enkei 15x10 wheels for it, since Black wheels don't look right on a grecian bronze and frost white two-tone paint job. It will be getting repainted in those two factory colors.

I have found Royal Purple on sale at my local parts store, and it was cheaper than any of the other name brands of oil, so I went with the RP.

I have 110 switches on my work network that I manage. We have around 30-40 different VLANs, and we separate them by traffic type. We have data vlans, VoIP vlans, and security/camera vlans in every building in our campus network.

You could use some synthetic ATF+4 like Royal Purple or Valvoline.

Congratulations to you both! Life is too short to live alone. Having a life partner to share the lows, highs, smiles, laughter, tears, as well as, the same interests and hobbies, all contribute to making each of us stronger, healthier, and gives us a sense of purpose to live for each other.

I bet both bands are too loose now after 10 years. For a couple hours of time, and a trans filter and some ATF, it would be a simple thing to adjust them to see if it helps your issue.

Both bands should be adjusted as they probably have never been done unless the trans has been fully rebuilt. I just adjusted both bands on my buddy's 48RE, and now it shifts correctly from 2nd to 3rd gear without having the shift delay it was having.

Gates, Murray, NAPA, and other vendors who both make cooling system products have been bought out by Motorad. I've had a few issues with Motorad t-stats, so I bought a 205 deg t-stat from Mishimoto, and with my aftermarket aluminum new radiator and coolant, it will run 190 - 192 while cruising down the highway at this time of year.

Use https://www.vindecoderz.com and see if your truck actually came with keyless entry. It's possible that the key fobs died or got lost and the previous owner just got a regular key for it. If it originally had keyless entry, you could get a fob and program it to fix this issue.

Check the push on electrical connectors on your grid heater relays. I accidentally bumped one of mine once and unplugged it when working under the hood.

Mine was doing the same thing. I just recently replaced the t-stat with a 205° Mishimoto thermostat, and installed a brand new blower motor. The old blower motor was caked up with crud and it wouldn't spin one revolution by hand. Then I flushed the heater core several times in both directions, since I got this truck in March of this year. It has a brand new aluminum radiator and fan clutch in it now as well. There's no way that I would pay $1k+ for one of these heaters though. There's not that much material there to warrant that super inflated price for what it is. They're just price gouging the market at those prices.

My 01 does seem like it's more noisy than any of the other 2nd gen 24v pickups I've had.

I'm still interested in this mod. I see to have quite a bit of noise in my cab, but I didn't know what is causing it. Doug

Awesome mod John! I'd like to do this to my 01. Can you please provide the length and measurements of your bracket? Can I do this without issue with my auto trans throttle valve cable?

235/85/16 = 31.7x9.3/16 245/75/16 = 30.5x9.6/16 265/75/16 = 31.6x10.4/16 You're pretty much in line with the 265/75/16, just an inch narrower tire. What are your RPMs at 60 mph?
