Re: Sonoma GT 519 - the rebuild saga (picture intense)

the wheels on the gt in your sig pic look nothing like the wheels actually on it.

I have the Borbets in my garage but I took them off because it snowed again

Added the Borbet wheels again... and then promptly couldn't get up my driveway :roll:

Long time since I updated anything here

Truck is in right now having the A/C charged and an estimate done for a tranny rebuild. Also just bought fog lights. She's been running like a champ for almost 3 months now :tup:

Okay so why did you leave the stock neck on the intake and use the one that came with the aftermarket intake? Did you do this because you modified your throttle body?

I just got mine today and I'm doing my test fit to make sure I have clearance between the alt., rad. fan & shroud and hood. I have an idea of what I want to fabricate for a support bracket for the air intake.

I would send you a copy of my plans once I'm done but I don't think it will work for you with both necks being on.

Digging up the old post to ask ? Did you ever drive this truck enough to get a gas mileage fiqure ? The one that I talked to you about early on in the posting is getting 20 mpg city driving. This is without ever getting into 5th gear and without a cover on the bed. We just installed the bed cover on Wednesday.

Mostly combined, truck seems to get about 19 - 21 mpg. I've not taken it on any long highway trips so I can't speak for that, as of yet
