Thanks! I really dig the look

Nice TTMs.

Thanks Leroy, but enlighten me... TTM? Something-tow mirrors?

 

[Burning oil]

Yes Trailer Tow Mirrors. I have same on my 96.

Looks pretty cool. I have always like that body from GM. Those mirrors look just like the ones on my 03 dodge. Did you modify them to fit or buy them setup to fit?

Thank you! Learn something new every day.

Thanks! Yes, they are in fact Dodge mirrors, from a 94-02 second gen truck. Made a template and drilled 3 new holes in the door, and did some light grinding on the mirror base. The body lines match up very well.

They have to be mod'ed. I did a write up on here in 2008 or 9 on them. You'll have to use search function.

Edit: search actually worked for me. http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/trailer-tow-mirrors-diy.10702/

Ahhh, thought they looked familiar. Very cool. They do fit the lines of the truck very well and they're great mirrors too. Love mine on my dodge.

Okay, I need to replace the oil cooler and lines on my truck. The engine is not original to the truck. It says "Goodwrench New 6.5L" on the valve cover. Does this mean I need the 97-00 kit? Which oil cooler kit do I need? It will be purchased from Leroy.

On a side note, Leroy something seems up with your site? It is displaying weird for me.

If you buy the kit just follow it up with an email to remind me and I'll throw both size block fittings in the box. Might be good to call me too.
I checked site, seems ok to me. You on a phone?

So the lines and cooler are the same just the fittings are different? Thats simple enough.

I am on my laptop, never had an issue before with the site.

 

[Burning oil]

Yep just fittings are different.

Yeah that looks bunched up. Try Chrome or FireFox.

 

[pacificdrumma]

Okay. I will contact you about ordering the kit soon.

If there is a local firewall, it might play into the equation of messing up Leroy's pretty web site.

 

[pacificdrumma]

Downloaded Chrome and site works fine.. hmm.. weird.

Leroy, I just ordered the kit. I went with the 97-00 kit, but if you could send both sets of fittings, I would really appreciate it. I will of course return the unused ones.

 

[Burning oil]

OK will do. I actually have two payments/orders from you for the same kit. Do you want two kits? If not I'll refund one of them.
Just keep the extra fittings.

2 payments? Strange. I only wanted one kit. Not sure how I made duplicate payments. I will happily send back the other fittings, as they will not do me any good.

 

[Burning oil]

OK will process it now. Thank you.

So I had the lower intake off tonight trying to address a fuel leak (which I still cant seem to solve by the way, but thats a post for another day) and I wanted to try and I.D. the block casting number seeing as there doesnt seem to be much info on the "Goodwrench New 6.5L" engines, one of which is in my truck. I saw the dotted patterns, but could not make out any numbers. The whole motor is caked in oily grime. I could not find numbers on it anywhere else either. I took some (crappy) pics in the hopes that maybe someone can help ID the block.
