unfortunately no... so my fuel pump must not be working right since its still making noise when I turn the key on and off, my garage only got to about 44 last night maybe it didn't get warm enough, I plugged in another heater to see if I can warm it up some more and see what happens after I get off work

Also on a good note went to the junk yard yesterday got some 3.73 gears and the g80 out of a bravada guess I'll have to wait to put that in until I got my other stuff straightened out...
Thats awesome on the gearing! When i do 31's i want to do the same to my truck. I know theres probably a good amount of depth into it but how hard is it to regear?

lol well it took me about 4 hours to figure out how the rear out, and I didn't get to the front yet... and I'm really not so sure how to regear my truck, can't be that hard just switch pinions, and take the ring on the diff, make sure the teeth are where they are supposed to be, and put the shims on each side, lol I'm guessing that will take me all day to do...

Make sure you get the right gear pattern, or you`ll destroy them...

city driving yes, driving on the highway maybe a little less, but I do mostly city driving and off roading so that will be better for me

if you've never done this before (which seems wuite obvious you haven't) DON'T TRY IT, you can trash a new gear set in 30 seconds. and using a used set adds even more fun to the mix!

my LT has the GT4 gears in it (3.73's)

as long as i don't get on it while in the city, i can avarage about 18 mpg with a 65/35 city/highway driving route. i even managed to get almost 21 mpg on a couple of straight highway only trips.
