    L31 towing cam upgrade

    Oh I know... Its not going to be difficult.. I'm just a little burnt out on projects. Right now, I just want to drive my truck, and its already half way tuned on the Black Box ecm. Justin at Black Bear is currently modifying my tune. Its amazing how awesome this thing runs compared to my old...

    L31 towing cam upgrade

    I decided to shelf the 0411 for the time being.. After installing the engine, my truck getting smashed up, dealing with insurance and whiplash, I don't want to swap out all the wires. I know...lame, but I'm a little burnt out. I'm going to tune the Black Box ecm, and mess with the 0411 in the...

    Lifts

    Rough Country lift is a great lift. Top it off with the torsion bar relocators, you get all your ground clearance from the lift.. https://www.realiftsuspension.com/ If you look at the components between all the IFS lift kits available, they are pretty much the same. With the exception of the...

    Am I underpowered?

    Have you had any ECM tuning? That makes a huge difference. Adjusting your shift points to match your tires, removing a good chunk of the TQ management and abuse mode, Changing the 3rd and 4th gear lockup settings... Get a hold of someone like Black Bear. They do a great job, but they are a...

    99-2000 Escalade seats vs stock leather seats

    I have oem leather seats in my 98 Silverado. My only complaint is the seat back doesn't sit up straight enough. I'm always slouching in the seat.. Do the Escalade seats have more adjustment in the seat back? Or, are they pretty much the same as the truck seats? Is there anyway to modify the...

    L31 towing cam upgrade

    We are back up and running! After some battling with the insurance, they decided not to total it. I found a bed down in Salem... Drove down there in the morning with a trailer, towed it back to Washougal, and swapped it out. Long day... but its fixed. I need to change the decals to Z71, but...

    They are looking at totaling it... I have to provide photos today to show its a good truck and not a beater. I'd bet they total it.

    L31 towing cam upgrade

    Glad to see that this thread got some traction! I wish I could report that my truck is tuned and running killer with the new engine and 0411 ecm swap... But, I got hit by a moving truck last week and got my bed smashed in. So that's fun... Dealing with Insurance right now. The delivery truck...

    L31 towing cam upgrade

    I'm really looking forward to see how it runs after its tuned. I've got 335 miles on the engine so far. I live in the foothills of the cascade mountain range, so I've been taking it on rural drives every evening. Not allowing it to sit in one RPM range for long periods of time. I probably...

    L31 towing cam upgrade

    Yeah I tried that the other day. My truck was in the shop getting the hood replaced, so I've been waiting to make some adjustments. It went in the 2 days after the engine swap was completed. It seemed to like 3/4 of a turn the best. Tried a cold start this morning. It was 32deg outside...

    Yeah the 08-049-8 is the cam I installed.

    L31 towing cam upgrade

    Well, I've decided that the engine rebuild/swap just wasn't enough pain and suffering, so I'm going to swap out my black box ECM with the 0411. I figure if I'm going to re-tune the truck, might as well do it with a much better ECM... That's my next week project.
