TEGGSRB18C1's 2000 Silverado Z71 revival thread

[Realist]

Doing it right.

Yesterday I get everything put together enough that it would run properly, still have some fitting and loose ends to tie up. Fired her up and let it run for a few minutes to see if it would sort itself out.

Like everytime I run it it seems happier, unfortunately still misfiring at idle BUT only at idle, as soon as throttle is applied all 8 cylinders come to life, let off, starts to stumble.

I think it's a fuel issue still, pressure to be specific. While it was running the fuel pump was really noisy, every once in a while making a strange "errrrrr" noise. I think it's kicked, the sock is probably clogged to boot. So, I think that's going to be my next battle.

Most people lift the bed to get at it. Being that I'm replacing the bed and my garage is kind of tight...I think I'm going to cut an access hole in the bed to swap it. That'll be after the holidays at this point but we're close boys, I can feel this thing wants to run.

For the past 7 years every Christmas has been Camaro parts, gift cards for Camaro parts, Camaro signs, shirts, etc. 2025 was the Christmas of Silverado. My wife got me these awesome GP Audio battery terminals, if anyone has checked out my Camaro build thread, I'm big into grounds. I'll be following suite on this truck very shortly.

Dad hooked me up on a new front bumper and top cap assembly. Here you see a little preview of all my parts mocked up. I'm going to order all new bumper brackets, give them the battery tray treatment and get this installed. Might run like shit but man that chrome will shinin'

Also grabbed this photo of both Chevy's running together, I filled the Camaro with Stabil and was letting it run through the system before the goes under the cover till spring. I truck was running for a fuel pressure test. More on that next post
