    Recommendations on rear axle rebuilder in Houston

    finally getting this truck on the road. wow, the acceleration is def pretty fun with 4.10gearing. I can confirm I'm turning 3000rpm at 90mph with the 29" rear tire, but with a 22" magnaflow muffler (xpipe inside it) - it sounds great.

    Im justn now getting the truck on the road. went and had the exhaust done today. I have to say, its pretty badass. rides great, like a car. Handles awesome, brakes so far seem to be good. there is an extensive rotor prep and bed in process for the brakes, which I have only just begun - but...

    383 Vortec questions!!

    @PlayingWithTBI @L31MaxExpress how did you guys go about learning how to tune ? I'm tired of weeks and months of back and forth data logging/tune adjustments from Blackbear. I've got 2 cammed L31's, both with 0411 and 24x upgrades, along with headers and full exhaust on both. I'm in Houston...

    Cam selection for 383

    I"m running the 08-501-8 in '98K2500 5.7L with 24x igntion, 0411, roller rockers, upgraded comp 26918 springs, and BBK TB. The 08-500-8 was not in stock when I purchased, so went a hair bigger with the 501 which was in stock at the time. Can tell you I'm still working with BB on dialing in the...

    Ridetech coilover wheel offset

    I can highly recommend using AZ Pro Performance out in Arizona. They can tell you exactly what wheels/tires you can run without issue, and they sell all the suspension and brake components required. They even have 2" drop spindles that work with all the lowering kits, and their spindles don't...

    Just now seeing this. Project has been delayed and just got the bed back on yesterday. Have not driven truck yet, but hope to get to alignment shop soon. Will say that all suspension components and brakes installed without issue. Good quality stuff.

    P0342 DTC - Random and Intermittent - L31, cammed, 0411, 24x ignition, BB tune

    just a follow up post to say I figured it out. I replaced the camshaft position sensor with the distributor installed under the hood, so I really could not see the fit between the sensor and the distributor rotor. Decided to remove the dizzy and check it out. Turned out the new sensor was...

    Doug Thorley headers installed.

    Hey Dav, wanted to check back in on your truck with the 151 cam. Did you ever getting it running ? I'm finally finishing by '96 SC/SB build and went with the same cam.

    P0342 DTC - Random and Intermittent - L31, cammed, 0411, 24x ignition, BB tune

    you are correct, the sensor power wire (pink) is the only one I didn't replace. I did check voltage at the sensor with ignition on and I'm showing 12v. I also replaced the distributor gear during the cam change, and there is no measurable play in the distributor rotor when I wiggle it back and...

    P0342 DTC - Random and Intermittent - L31, cammed, 0411, 24x ignition, BB tune

    Kind of surprised there haven't been any responses on this. Let me ask this question - since I'm still working with BB to dial in the 24x tune, could there be something in the tune causing the P0342 and P0706 DTC's ?

    P0342 DTC - Random and Intermittent - L31, cammed, 0411, 24x ignition, BB tune

    This is on '98 K2500, which now has a cam, 0411pcm, and 24x ignition, as well as 24x tune. Since making these mods, I keep getting 2 codes intermittently - P0706 and P0342. During the 0411 swap, I did install the 4 wires that tie into the transmission range switch (I spliced behind the gauge...

    Recommendations on rear axle rebuilder in Houston

    Ya, seems to be a 3.90 thing. Just curious what kind of mileage you think your getting whild doing 80mph for a few hours on the highway ? And does the higher winding rpm get on your nerves ? If there was not a hugh diff in highway mileage, I may just move up to 4.11. I still have time since...

    Dropped the axle off at Pyle Bros today. Went with 3.73. Chance said 3.90 makes a lot of noise.

    Recommendations on rear axle rebuilder in Houston

    Also, I've got the 4L60e, which shows to have 4th gear ratio of 0.75. So, with 4.11 gears, I'm coming up with 2700rpm at 75mph. Not sure I want to be turning that much rpm going down the highway. But I know it would be real fun around town. Conversely, seems like I will be leaving...

    Recommendations on rear axle rebuilder in Houston

    I'm finishing up my '96 stepside build, and am in process of installing disc brakes in rear from AZProPerformance. When I opened up the diff cover, dark brown gear oil came out, looked horrible. The magnet on the diff cover had some decent size metal chunks, and the spiders are definately...

    Throttle Body shaft seal replacement

    best I can tell with my magnifying glass, I see a '126' on the rubber part of the seal. 180 degrees from that looks like 'FN'. Very small writing so hard to say.

    Throttle Body shaft seal replacement

    I have a '98 K2500 with L31 vortec engine. I recently performed a cam swap, and have been chasing a few vacuum leaks. I performed a smoke test on the engine, and found smoke coming out at the throttle body shaft spring area. I removed the TB from the engine, and proceeded remove the throttle...
