    Clutch time (LS + nv3500)

    Long story short, been running the original 4.3L clutch in my nv3500 for four years now, and she's slipping now. Engine is mild, flywheel dyno'd at 438hp. I planned on this transmission to grenade long ago but it's still tight as can be. Are there any good clutch options I can look into...

    What type of rims are on your truck

    Playing around with the idea of going back to small wheels. My 20s just ride horrible. Had these 15x8 rallys around, putting 245/60 and 275/60 on. Going to sand blast and paint the wheels, just not sure what color. The rear tires are a tight fit with 7" drop in the back, but they do fit Sent...

    G80 CARRIER QUESTIONS

    The kit will work with your g80, you "might" get lucky using all factory shims, but I doubt it. I just did motive 4.10s in my truck and had to mess with pinion shims as well as the carrier shims. Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

    DBW pedal Construction

    I modified an 05 truck pedal for my swap. Works excellent and feels perfect. Plus the 05 bracket bolted to two of the original holes, only had to drill 1 more Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

    NV3500 rebuild

    He probably means syncos, not servos. If the noise comes and goes with clutch pedal action it's most likely the throw out bearing. Pilot bearing would squeal all the time if it was bad Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

    static drop pics

    Wheels were 15x8. 4" backspace. I think that worked out to a -12 offset? This setup rubbed, had to roll my fender lips Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

    Motive gear pinion markings

    I'm putting a set of motive 410's in my rear end (8.5" 10 bolt) and I'm trying to decipher the factory markings on the pinion that they engraved. Looks like Z89 and Z572..I just don't see how these are pinion depth markings. Maybe I'm just tired and missing something simple. I made setup...

    LS swap with stock 5 speed

    Stock nv3500 for 4 years with an L33 5.3, cam, ported heads. Should be over 400hp going into it...works great still. I even kept the old clutch from the 4.3L in it. 95 rcsb, L33 5.3, hot cam, hp tuners, 4/6 drop

    Roasted direct clutches in a 4L60e

    I recently did the 80e swap in my 2005. Went pretty smooth. Only set back I had was when I tore the transfer case apart, I noticed the "pump rub" issue, so I had to wait a couple weeks for the repair kit to be delivered 95 rcsb, L33 5.3, hot cam, hp tuners, 4/6 drop

    How many hours to replace 4l80e front seal?

    Well it took me 2hrs to drop my trans and maybe 2 to 3hrs to put it back in recently. Literally took 2 mins to replace that seal once my trans was out also...i would hope a good tranny shop would be faster than my 4-5hrs to re-re a trans on my shop floor. 95 rcsb, L33 5.3, hot cam, hp...

    5.3 donor motor preferred year range

    My truck weighs 3700lb. I think you'd be just fine in an s10. I'd say my engine should be on the better side of 400hp (cam, springs, ported 799's, and tune) 95 rcsb, L33 5.3, hot cam, hp tuners, 4/6 drop

    5.3 donor motor preferred year range

    I've dumped the clutch hard in 2nd gear countless times and treat it pretty bad I'd say. It takes it well 95 rcsb, L33 5.3, hot cam, hp tuners, 4/6 drop

    5.3 donor motor preferred year range

    That's what they said 3 years ago about my cammed L33 with an nv3500. Still no problems, and even still running the 280,000km clutch from the v6 [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] 95 rcsb, L33 5.3, hot cam, hp tuners, 4/6 drop
