Brad Matlock here, but most folks call me HawgHunter....I'm a fisherman by choice and a gearhead by force. Born and raised in the great city of Houston Texas I now live on the outskirts in Tomball. Other than the problems my truck throws my way, I'm doing what I love and loving what I do. I have 4 kids, 3 girls and 1 boy....ages 2, 7, 13 and 16....from a toddler at home to elementary, middle and high school....yep, got all my bases covered....lol

I have a 1997 Chevy C1500 ext cab with the 5.7 vortec that I bought for $700 a few years back. For that price it obviously needed work....but a couple heads, waterpump, timing cover, a major tune up and some TLC later I had a very nice truck. And now, here I am with my first major problem.... https://www.truckforums.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=12655
