Time for a deep cleaning of the fuel system. I put 2 bottles of Amsoil PI in the tank and filled it up. I do wish Amsoil would make a bottle of the stuff that was good for larger tanks. They currently are labeled for up to 30 gallons, and I have a 36 gallon tank. I think they need to be able to treat up to 40 gallons. :dunno:

It needs a bath, other than that not much, but I did change out the transmission fluid on it back last month. Change over to AMSOIL's ULV fluid for the 10sp.

Bought a $600 tool so I can work on getting the motor further put together ..
Nothing is ever cheap, is it. My timing chain cover on my truck is leaking. Not bad, but leaking, non the less. I keep putting it off, but I know I will have to change it, before to long. I will just rent a hormonic balancer tool, to press it back on with, or maybe I will make 1, IDK yet. I just question, how much I should put into this old Vortec 350, with almost 270,000 miles on it. I know that in time, I will need to replace the engine, or rebuild it. Also, when I had the transmission rebuilt a few years ago, I had them change the rear main seal, and it is leaking some again. The truck just runs so good, I guess I just need to fix the leaks. LOL, I will probably just keep putting it off, untill it gets worse, IDK. My truck is in near show room condition, and I rebuilt the rear end a few years ago, then less than 2 weeks later, I blew up the trans. So neither 1 has many miles on them. Lately I have been driving the truck on the week days, and taking the Corvette out, on the weekends. That's been working out pretty good. I do have a lot of custom touches on the truck. I can not see, letting it go. Not to mention, I bought the truck used in 2002, with 85,000 miles. These trucks are gaining in value. Mine is a 97, Silverado. When Silverado ment something.

I had the upper control arms and all 4 ball joints replaced. I just had this done 3 years ago, but the boots split on both lower joints allowing whatever to get inside and wear the joint down.
