    Great, I had a hell of a time getting past it last year...

              Little Jagger was a fun climb! Almost made it up but kept slipping on my own tranny fluid.

                  You won't regret buying suspension seats. Your back will thank you.

                    After much debate about propane or a new motor, I chose motor. After the trip to Rush this past weekend, I was done with the POS stock engine. So I bought this 04 Avalanche Z71 with a 5.3 for $1400. Should be ready for Harlan in May.

                      LS is the way to go. the power increase and reliability is awesome. If the stock TBI in mine ever gives up, this is the route i plan.

                        Got the engine and trans out. Now the fun part, separating the harness.

                        I ended up with an extra 5.3 out of the deal. It is a drive by cable. The one from the Avalanche is drive by wire. Not sure which one I want yet.

                          I have most of the extra crap removed from the harness. Man that's a lot of wires...

                                It already looks better. Most of that extra wire is gone. The hard part will be getting the computer to the passenger side inside the cab. The PCM was originally right next to the drivers wheel well. It will be in good shape by the end of tomorrow.
