    Where does your exhaust exit?

    mine are dual side exit behind the pass side wheels. I like this set up, but would like to do it with dual 3" I don't know about the drone, as it doesn't run yet (sunday?). My dad's 98 has the flowmaster BB delta flow 50s 2.5" exiting on either side of the hitch, and i love the sound, inside and...

    89 ECLB DRW (with 87 CCLB DRW) project start

    So, I am recovering from having my gall bladder removed, getting ready to start tear down with my oldest son doing the heavy lifting. The 87 will be making the ultimate sacrfice and donating the engine, tires, and limited slip rear. It currently has frame issues, body issues glass issues, light...

    GAHHHHHHHH WTF IS THIS!!!!!!

    OK, I will start with they are hideous, but I considered those lights for the simple reason of cutting out the big circles to fit old sealed beams.....I hate the lights that are available on our style trucks. The lights on my 87 crew just plain do a better job of putting out usable light in the...

    I dont know what i did

    well, keep the old ones, you can clean and reuse them. no pressure in the coolant system then? do you have a timing light? you could try that and see where your timing is. also, you did make sure cap/rotor/both ends of the wires were all dry? is your air box/cleaner and such clear?

    I dont know what i did

    you want no pressure. if there is pressure, it is compression escaping into your coolant passages. also, check the plugs for signs of coolant.

    I dont know what i did

    did you pop the rad cap to see if you had pressure after cranking? it doesn't take as much as you might think. with that poping sound, i'd expect that you popped a gasket or somehow majorly changed your ignition timing
  11. Montana_k3500

    I dont know what i did

    couple things to check. 1 make sure you replaced all the spark plugs. 2 make sure the right wires are on the right plugs (verify firing order) if those two things check out, check for water in your oil or pressure in your radiator after cranking. if you hosed down a hot engine, you COULD have...

    fuel mileage on big block with od swap

    Thans for the tc answer specifically.....that one has been driving me nuts. I tought it would but couldn't confirm. not a lot of info on the bw cases. I drive 70 miles a day round trip, 60 highway. mpgs count. Id rather drive something that won't completely crumple in a fight with a deer/elk/...

    Huge increase in gas mileage... What could cause this?

    have you been getting lucky at the stoplights/traffic flow? if you are city driving, it can make a huge diff if "the stars align" lol. how long since the last oil change, what kind of oil, and did you change types? I know on my old roadmaster (LT1) and on our aurora (4.0l), when we changed from...

    I keep my trucks on ice.....

    Thanks, Guys! Errrr, let some of the snow melt so I can find them, and I will be happy to! The 89 is olympic white with the garnet red bottom accent and grille guard, along with white rims and beauty rings. unfortunately, the white has flaked (i know, I am shocked as well), so it detracts from...

    fuel mileage on big block with od swap

    Also, does the 4l80e bolt right to the BW case on a 475? i would think so, but am not sure. Thanks.
