Hi gang-
I'm from the beautiful, rainy Northwest. I bought my first Colorado (2006 Ext Cab) in Jan 2009 and immediately loved it. A red light runner took it away from me last week and thankfully the airbags deployed saving my wife and I from any real harm. I had to get another one so we just picked up a 2008 Ext Cab 4x4 in Inferno Orange. These trucks are the best and I look forward to conversing with lots of other happy Colorado owners!

During the summer and after it warms up it runs great.but when the engine is cold

Another new Texan (we all have trucks, it's true)

Snappy — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:16:46 GMT

Howdy folks! I'm an Okie by birth but have settled down in the truck capital of the US - Texas. Being mostly a GM guy I've had 5 of their vehicles. 84 Buick Regal, 95 Chevy S-10, 02 Pontiac GP GTP (still trying to sell), ...

Here's the old S-10

Here's the ol girl still looking for a new home

Now what I have...

03 Corvette Z06

...and a project truck you may not recognize that I'm working on with my dad...

I don't have any pics of the truck that brought me here, but it's a white 2000 Chevy Silverado 4.8L extended cab short bed with vinyl and power nothing - and I really like it! The Vette made me a snob I guess, but it doesn't like the rain and I miss my S-10 sometimes. I like to turn a wrench or two, and I don't feel bad tinkering with the Silverado especially because I just can't see messing with a perfectly good Corvette. With 135,000 on the clock, I expect to tinker with the big tank enough to satisfy my desire to modify. I plowed through 3 or 4 inches of water, cackling maniacally as the big tires sprayed water into the empty lanes around me. Try doing that in a Vette!

Anywho, I look forward to being a part of the GM Truck Club x2!:money:

1994 350 performance rebuild questions

Ethan — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:57:42 GMT

So I'm planning on rebuilding my 350 for my 1994 Silverado 1500 TBI. I have a list of parts so far, but I'm not sure if there even right for this engine. Here's my list so far:

Engine basic rebuild kit: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FEM-MK6038A-000/ -- $230
Summit Racing Hypereutectic Pistons for 4in diameter: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-17350-00/ ----$85.95
Comp Cams Xtrem Energy 252XFI HR13: http://www.compperformancegroupstore...Code=RLERCAMXE ---$303.57
Comp Cams Hydraulic Roller lifters : http://www.compperformancegroupstore...=SBCNEWLifters -- $224.03
Comp Cams Push Rods : http://www.compperformancegroupstore...CNEWPushrods-- $35.64
I'm looking to keep the TBI system, since the ECU still runs like new. I havent found any cylinder head rebuild kits yet, so if someone could help me find one of those. But what am I missing here, and what wont work? Any reccomendations? I'm not planning to actually do this for several years, but I would like to get an idea of what I need and what it will cost.

Thanks.
