Shit should have probably done that to my 03. Did you just run straight ATF?

Yeah straight ATF. Drained oil warm and left the filter.

How long did you let the ATF cycle through before shutting it down (stopped driving)?

I added the 6qt, started the truck and let it idle for an hour and then went and drove it for 10 miles keeping RPM’s low.

I would drive the shit out of this thing. Always loved the GMT800's.

Those rockers would be super easy to replace with new metal rocker panels. It's the rear fender that would take a decent amount of metal work as you would have to splice it in to the body. The metal work is the easy part, getting the panels blended so it didn't look like a repair is the time and labor consuming part.

I love it too. I don’t plan on repairing the fenders, just treat the rust and put flares over it is my plan.


1,000 mile update. Still mint. Back to pulling ponies
