    Sas questions I couldn't find

    I've tried every string of words in the search to try to find answers but I couldn't find anything, but if yall want to flame me go for it lol. Since I'm doing 38s, I've decided to leave the world of ifs since it will be a daily driver and 38s are going to kill my suspension. I have a few...

    Gears for 38s

    I was orginally wanting 4.88s for my 38s, but seeing that my rpms at 70 would be 2000, I'm starting to look at 4.56. The 4.56 would put me about stock gear ratio (3.73) but I'm afraid it's not enough for riding in town. What would yall do?

    How larger tires wear out the suspension

    I hear people say that larger tires wear ifs pit faster. But my question is, what about the tire causes and faster wear? The weight of the tire, or the height/width. Right now I'm looking at the mickey thompson 36x15.50r20 and it's 90 lbs and the cooper discoverer stt 37x13.50r20 and it's 84...

    Radio shuts off

    In my truck I have the overhead console with the temperature gauge, and ever so often the temperature gauge doesn't work, and when the gauge doesn't work, the radio doesn't either. My problem is, if the gauge and radio even work, the gauge turns off when I turn the radio up, and if I turn it up...

    looser converters for more ci engines

    I've been looking into the 276hr cam from comp cams. But it says it's needs a 2000 more stall converter. Since this is going into a 383 instead of a 350, will I still need the converter? I understand a 383 will tame a cam better than a 383 but have no idea about the converter.

    stroker mileage

    So right now I have a used engine. I've done taken it apart and cleaned it. I'm boring .030 over. But, I'd like to buy a 383 kit. What would my gas mileage be like with a 383 with a compression ratio around 9.1? Would it decrease, increase or stay the same? I get 12 average now.

    37s

    I've tried the search for this and couldn't come up with anything, but could I fit 37s on 20x14 wheels with a 6 inch suspension with a 3 inch body?

    fluid leak

    Well I've found a nice little transmission fluid leak. It's on the back of the transmission where it meets the transfer case. The fluid runs off of the skid plate on the bottom of the transfer case so I can't exactly see where it's coming from.any idea?

    33x12.50 on 20x12

    Would cranking my torsion bars be enough to put 33x12.50 on with a -44 offset wheel? If it's not I'll probably see if I can get a hold of some 32x12.50

    tire psi

    I have no clue where to post this, so if it's in the wrong place feel free to move it where it belongs and maybe I'll know what section to go to for future reference. Anyways, what's a good psi to run my tires at? Tires say 65 psi maximum, but I have a feeling it should be around 35.

    vacuum leak

    Well recently in driving I've heard a hissing noise upon hitting the gas, so today I opened the hood. I hear a hiss from somewhere between the exhaust manifold and the power steering fluid holder. When I listen it hisses and then stops for a second. When it hisses the engine rpms drop slightly...

    lift blocks and axle wrap

    I'm about to crank my torsion bars up about an inch, and I'm gonna throw some 2 inch lift block in the rear to level it out ( front it already cranked about a half inch). my question is, I keep seeing stuff about axle wrap, And I know lift blocks makes it worse. As long as I'm not offloading all...

    stepper motor install

    I recently got a new 120 mph escalade dash. The oil and fuel needle was wobbly so I changed the motors. Well now they won't even move. Anyone know how to properly install them? Seems my stupidity struck again.

    383 stroker kit

    Well I've finally made the decision to get a 383 striker kit instead of calling my 350. I have a few questions though. -is the 98 5.7 vortec in the 1500 a 1 or 2 piece rear main seal? -what I'm seeing with 64cc vortec heads my compression ratio will be 11:1 with the flat top pistons included...

    cam for low end torque

    I've searched and I haven't been able to find much of anything. So far all I know is I need to find a came where the power badn starts around 1500rpm and end around 4000rpm. A nice cam and everything I need for the cam install would be helpful.

    shaky idle

    Well I recently replaced my fuel injectors, hoping it would fix rough idle. I now have a maf code (p0102). I unplugged the sensor and performance stayed the same. I also checked the pcv valve and it was good.

    where can I find 120 mph cluster?

    Well I'm thinking about doing the 120 cluster mod. Where can I find the cluster, and instructions on how to do it? I read the 130 police cluster, is installation the same?

    do any of the the cold air intakes work?

    If any of them do, will there really be a power/performance gain? If so which is the best one to get and is worth $250?

    lifter tick solutions

    Well I've got a pretty constant lifter tick. No matter how hot/cold the truck is it will do it. Seems the days its loudest it drowns out the radio AND the tire noise ( imagine 33's road noise). So you can probably see why I want to fix this issue. How can I deal with this? I already tried mmo...

    performance variance on different start ups?

    Well as said in one of my other posts, if I start my 5.7 vortec say Monday, it runs well. If I start it up the next day, I couldn't beat a minivan in a street race. What would cause these variances?
