Realistically I’m planning on a month. I’d like to have it in the frame rails and hear the engine run in a week. I bet I easily have 100 hours in the last year, reading, ordering, driving etc and anything else that has taken my time in relation to it.
I have a camping trip May 24. Plan is...
Disassembled the 6l90 and changed the output. Removed each section and laid it out. Disassembly and reassembly was right at 20 min. I was advised by someone much smarter than me on transmissions how simple the 6l80/90 is, and how the output could easily be changed. I would now agree
I’ve been collecting parts for the last year. Time to make it public and get it done after Relic Run. Picked up the last major Piece of the puzzle today.
5.3 with a 6l90
120k Silverado 5.3 with 799 heads. Last week it was in the truck and I was able to put eyes on it running. Nothing...
Just a few thoughts from the old man in me. Recently got asked about the best things I’ve done to the 60.
Probably worth its own thread but I’ll add this for anyone that has just bought an old 60 and falls into this thread. ( mostly talking to the 16 yr old me’s out there that wants to...
Recaro Expert M. The Expert M has low bolsters so perfect for sliding in and out of the 60.

Me, Ezra and Sami Caught up with the upstate guys 2 weeks ago on a quick trip. Coming from the ice at home to the 75 degree weather was welcomed. Logged 1009 uneventful miles from when I left Friday and pulled back in the driveway Sunday.
At some point in time in December I was in...
Put some garage time in over the weekend. Modified a 4xInnovations swing out to fit the 60.
37s we’re getting a little loud, so I changed them out for some new running shoes. Mickey Thompson 255x85 r17 Baja Boss At. Size comes out to 35x10.00.
Mounted them just in time for the Arctic...
Experience with them was A+ They have a really cool process where they can add material to the sector shaft and then put it on a lathe and bring it back within spec.
Current mileage 195,352
Two weeks later after reinstalling, I wish I would have sent the box off two years ago. I sent 83 box to Red Head. No more chasing the 60 on the road trying to keep it between the lines. My sector shaft was so pitted it wouldn’t seal. They had a sector shaft in...
Splurged on the D pillar vents from Trail Tailor. Machined from 6160. They are a piece of art!
I have the idea to dump my exhaust from my diesel heater through them…. Something similar like the marine guys do, but was trying to make it more stealth without having to drill another hole in...
