    Best cold air intake?

    The closed box design is what really sold me man. The stock setup is actually a good one. Just the tubing and filter could be improved. Enter the volant. Do it!

    Running a heavier oil

    My engine seems to be happy with rotella t6 15w40. Been running it a while with no issues.

    Welp I screwed something up.

    I didn't have two choices from where I purchased and I didn't know that was the case. I bought it from Yukon and that was the ONLY one they had for my rear end. I called and spoke to their tech support before installing as well asking about the length and two hole setup and they gave me their...

    Welp I screwed something up.

    Hey guys, sorry for the late reply. It turned out to be the pin. It was way too long. I'm almost wondering if the hole for the retaining bolt was located incorrectly as well, because to me, sticking out of the carrier a 1/4" or more is excessive. I looked at it with an inspection mirror and at...

    Best cold air intake?

    Well, I have the volant 15957 on order. Hopefully it fits right. Not sure why, but then picture on Amazon shows a different year vehicle. Are theses somewhat universal? You guys totally talked me into too lol. I kid you not, I bought and returned it twice before reading some of the posts here...

    Best cold air intake?

    On the Napa website it says, Options include a powerful Primo air filter or the extremely effective, self-sustaining Power Core filter I wonder if I can just swap out the better filter if it comes to it. What don't you like about the oiled filters?

    Best cold air intake?

    Hey all, What do you think the best cold air intake is for the 96 5.7L vortec? Was looking at the k&n, but the filter being exposed makes me wonder if it's not a good thing for mudding/offroading. I'm having trouble finding replacements for the stock tubing so I'm wondering if I should just...

    Fuel gage/interesting setup/need advice.

    After driving it around a bit, I still get a little erroneous movement on the needle. I had then pwm set to 240hz at som point and it was dead still, but lowered it to 140 because I wasn't sure what the circuit could handle. You should be able to do it. The whole thing will be trying to figure...

    LTFT under load.

    Hey all, Was wondering what y'all thought about my LTFT situation. Truck runs splendidly as far as I can tell, but here goes. At idle, everything is fine. All trims short and long are fluctuating in small amounts around zero. At medium acceleration, bank 1 LTFT goes up to about almost 18 and...

    Front diff need modifier?

    I appreciate it man. Could you humor me and explain to me why it doesn't? I keep getting differing responses to this question, but if I understood the reason, it would help me a lot. I'm guessing it has to do with the way it locks, but I'm not sure.

    Front diff need modifier?

    Gotcha, thanks guys, I appreciate it! How about the rear? I've got the 14 bolt, 9.5" SF G80. Was told this one takes the additive. If yes, how much per quart on this one?

    Fuel gage/interesting setup/need advice.

    Thanks for the reply! You're exactly right lol. I ended up doing just that. I had to invert the fuel gage values and take the primary volume table from a 98 silverado and that made it work perfectly.
