Here's a small update...
4.8L engine/ 4L60e trans was tuned by NelsonPerformance.comCan you say POWA?
Added a Detroit Truetrac to replace the stock weird feeling G80 carrier. Originally, I put a set of 4.10s I had laying around but they were noisy. I checked the pattern and the drive side was perfect but the coast side was all over the place, everywhere but the middle of the tooth. The gears were in a rear end of my 93 when the Auburn broke. I guess it ruined my AAM gears.Oh well, 3.23 gears are back in place.
The GMC rim and tire on my truck weighed in at 63 lbs, FWIW.
The cheap drop-in RuggedLiner the dealer installed to hide the scraped up bed was pulled and one of Alton's buds sprayed a new Dupont Urethane bedliner in the truck and along the edges of the rail where the drop-in liner had scuffed up the paint. The new Dupont liner has UV protectant in it to prevent it from turning grey like most sprayed in liners you see. BTW, the drop-in liner is now riding on top of the sprayed in liner for twice the protection. I know, it's overkill but I didn't want to just throw the old one away.
Removed the BowTie off the tailgate using fishing line and then a 3M eraser wheel.
The truck did not come with the Driver Information Control (DIC) control panel so I ordered one and installed it in about 15 minutes. I now have access to all information available to the luxury truck drivers, except outside air temp.You can get it cheaper but you'll be looking quite some time to save just a few dollars...

Starting to rebuild the POS HKE 408 out of the 93. Shortblock reconditioned by WATT's SHOP in Lavon, TX. Crank polished, block linebored an additional .002" larger since it was too tight to start with, piston cylinders honed and radiused at bottoms, lifter bores checked, factory stock cam bearings removed and metal shavings left by GM and HKE machining process removed, new cam bearings deburred and radiused and then installed, small ends of rods narrowed/clearance .040" due to rod float causing rub marks on piston pin bosses and then balanced the rotating assembly. Piston rings replaced because old rings were twisted from spiralling them onto the pistons instead of using spreader pliers.
KING Aluminum racing main bearings, MB5013HP 020, +.020 oversize.
Clevite rod bearings, CB-663 HN10, +.010 oversize.
Rollmaster single row timing set CS1190, allows use of 3 bolt cam in Gen4 engines.
SpeedPro Hellfire file fit piston rings, R-19100 35.
Cam bearings, deburred, radiused and installed.
4" Eagle 4340 crank, polished.
6.125" Eagle rods, resized and narrowed on small ends.
4.030" Wiseco Pistons -8cc K394A3
52X reluctor.
New Spiral locks for the piston pins.
GM head gaskets 12589227
ARP main studs 234-5608
A few extra tools added to the garage from SummitRacing to complete the build, don't forget that they do price matching plus they beat the other advertised price...
LUN-98401 ROD BOLT STRETCH GAUGE
SME-904030 4.030 BORE RING COMPRESSOR

New addition to the 408 for the turbo, Wiseco -15cc pistons to bring down the compression and get the 408 back in the truck. These ought to help a lot. Next, I have to decide which heads I want to run, stock LQ4 with dual Patriot Platinum Extreme springs or the larger valved Patriot ported heads but with 64cc domes which will raise compression.
Patriot Performance Heads
2.08 intakes / 1.60 exhaust

.50 296.3 216.2

Dual springs w/titanium retainers good to .650 lift
Wiseco Pistons - Chevy
LS-1/LS-2/6.0
Included: Pistons, Rings, Pins & Spirolox, Skirt Coatings
NOTES - Please Read:
- LS-1 block has 9.240 deck, 6.0 truck block has 9.230, LSX block is
approximately 9.255. Pick rod length accordingly
- 4.070 bores or smaller take all but LS7 valve sizes.
- All bores 4.100 take any valve size including LS7
As the leader in LS-1 forged pistons, Wiseco pulled out all the stops when designing this series. They are designed to accommodate the reluctor ring on stroker cranks without having to notch the pin bosses. Offset pins like o.e. and skirt shapes specifically designed for street applications make these the best available. They have been tested successfully in the highest horsepower applications.
All Pistons Feature:
- NEW Coated skirts for LS Series Pistons. Much higher adherence factor then other moly coatings.
- 2618 Alloy: Will not shatter like hypereutectic, or cast pistons.
- Strutted skirt design is the strongest and specially designed to run at as little as .004" clearance, with excellent skirt wear and minimal noise or rock.
- Radius valve pockets for detonation resistance and increased flow around valves.
- Anti Detonation Grooves with the added benefit of keeping the top ring groove free of carbon
- 3mm oil rings for better oil control and reduced friction for more horsepower
- Pressure groove for enhanced ring seal
- Features Chrome Moly pins and spiralox, tool steel pins optional
- Race Ready domes don't require deburring by the engine builder
- Multi-fit valve pckets for interchangeability of cylinder heads

Cant wait to hear about how she runs when you get this beast back together. Good stuff Greg....
The pilot on the convertor had a dent in it and caused the converter to wobble.

Well, had issues with the trans. I put the stock converter back in it and something wasnt right and the front pump burned up. Got the PI Vigilante stall redone very tight and 3200 stall. I'll get a new pump and have it back together shortly then I can start the turbo install.
