    How did Stock Offroading work for you?

    my 2dr tahoe is a bit of a beast off-road even stock, unless the trail is too narrow (meant for quads or bikes) or just large rock piles. I stay away from the rock piles as I don't want to risk the body damage. Pretty much as long as the tires are touching the ground it will go up or down it. I...

    Bearings or New Engine?

    mine cracked a head at ~118k miles, I replaced both heads and everything above them, then at ~123k miles going down the freeway the trans lost 3rd + 4th gear and then the engine stalled while holding 55mph in 2nd gear...totally raped the rear main bearing when it locked up tight like that...

    Not much air out of vents

    Having just dropped in a new motor, I went through and replaced all of the components of the a/c system and had it all charged it, it blows nice and cold in the 30's out of the vents now. However it takes a LONG time to cool down the inside of the truck on a hot day, like rediculously long...

    I've never seen this before...

    yep, factory. It didn't look as ty in 1989 but that was a long time ago, the tape they use is really ty and the glue gets all gooey and falls apart leaving just some fiber strands...heatshrink and split loom plastic tubing for me thanks.

    Post your Vortec engine bay!

    I have no idea, they went in with the new crate motor along with a full stainless magnaflow system, built trans, etc etc. The new engine is a lot snappier than the old rod knocking one if that helps :p

    rear end swap question

    It doesn't take much to leave 2 black marks on the street in a pickup truck with no weight over the back, even on right/left turns. Get 1 of the rear tires stuck between a couple of rocks in sand/mud and you'll see only 1 spin - unless someone swapped the rearend before you got it.

    Place to pass wiring through firewall without drilling metal?

    I apologize, I assumed my sig was visible. The year truck I am working on is a 1996.

    Place to pass wiring through firewall without drilling metal?

    Having trouble finding a DIY on this, I'm adding some wiring for indicator lights for my electric fan operation and manual switch, and likely a power lead for my inverter. Usually I can just follow somebody's big fat stereo wire install DIY and be good to go. But everything I'm seeing for...

    rear end swap question

    that's about $300 too high, go find a diy junkyard like www.pickapart.com in your area and find a rearend on a 1/2 price weekend, $100 drum to drum. my tahoe has a factory 3.73 w/g80 rear, so they can't be all that hard to find.

    2dr crate motor swap

    More little stuff, had the a/c system gone through and charged up last weekend, so I re-wired the mark8 fan with a 3 relay setup to have the option of low and high speeds, currently low runs with key on and high can be used by a manual switch. Then while I was at it I swapped on my under...

    96 5.7 ECSB - Still Misfiring - Which cap is best?

    multiple misfire is typically a vacuum leak. Have you done a smoke test with it idling to look for a leak?

    Transmission fluid in my radiator?

    even with replacing the radiator and hoses, you still will have sludge in the waterpump, thermostat, all the engine gaskets, the heatercore, etc. I fought it for a few weeks in my old `01 s10 blazer, it was so bad :( Mine was caused by a pinhole leak in the radiator that was letting air into the...

    Magnaflow Y-Pipe Cat Flange?

    It probably flows fine, but the pinch bent piping on the down tubes would bother me, if you're working on it anyways might as well make it right. anything more than the factory 1.5 rocker ratio will require machine work from what I've read, so I don't plan to bother as the potential gains are...

    Magnaflow Y-Pipe Cat Flange?

    that setup is totally different from mine so I'll have to assume it's a 3/4 ton - that looks like 3" pipe after the Y, maybe 2.5" before it? the linked thread looks full of people making assumptions with no facts, the guy who claimed that an lt4 cam, exhaust, and tune would be good for 325hp on...

    Magnaflow Y-Pipe Cat Flange?

    your muffler will have the mating flange to match and bolt up to that magnaflow, have you looked under your truck? If you go LT's, depending on your state you won't pass visual smog. For example in CA you won't. The stock stuff from my truck - The magnaflow CA legal stainless Y-pipe on the...

    New distributor and now dtc's but runs fine.

    p0102 could be caused by a vacuum leak, which air getting in past a bad intake manifold gasket would be. But a clogged up exhaust from a bad cat can also cause a p0102.
