    Dual Battery Question

    I have had great experiences woth agm...one thing ive learned is to NEVER mix agm and flooded battery as agm voltage rests higher and the flooded battery will pull voltage from agm...basically the two batteries try and hold level between the two. And ALWAYS use an isolator betweent two batteries...

    High-End Vehicle CD Receivers Going Away?

    Unfortunantly cd players r a thing of the past, kids now dont even know what a cd is half the time. And gor the love of god, dont get an android unit! SQ is non exiatant, even inthe expensive ones. Take the time to rip ur vds on pc to Flac files ( lossless) and then put on a thumb drive and...

    Engine/Alternator Whine Issue!

    Go old school, wrap copper wire around outside of rca jacks on back of headunit (the ground part , not the center pin) and ground the other end of that wire to chassis of head unit. It could be alt issue but chances are its just old equipment . Possibly cheap rca cables but im 98 percent...

    Anti-Seize or Nah?

    It wasn't a test , just didn't think to video the first side that had been in there for year and a half. Nd just about every bearing in a gmt 400 is original till like 250k miles lol and u get to beat em out , I'm too good at it, usually 6-8 blows with my 32oz snap on dead blow. Sometimes it...

    Anti-Seize or Nah?

    Was replacing knuckles today and thought about this thread. Didn't video first side bearing in there 18months or so , single light tap and it fell out , fat fingered the camera and stopped video after I pulled the knuckle bolts , but no editing to make it look easy, it just fell out. Hope this...

    Anti-Seize or Nah?

    I deal with it everyday, been doing this professionally for last 15 years. Wash that garbage off and use a thick grease instead, less mess and actually comes apart when u need it too. Everyone uses that aluminum anti size and when it dries it's worse than a weld. Pull a hub bearing out once that...

    Electric fans suck!

    I had two 16" 9n my 97 with stock rad, it did well pulling my camper. We don't get real hot here but it was a tad higher than the stock fan temps. Never overheated tho, if I'd have made a shroud with only holes for fans prolly woulda been better. I pulled it and put stock fan back.

    Anti-Seize or Nah?

    Ufff, I DESPISE antiseize!!!! Don't matter which metals once it dries up a little bit actually almost welds stuff together! U guys in southern states prolly don't have any issues with it but up north, it makes things worse. We use basic ass chassis grease , it's nuetral so doesn't conduct and is...

    Bought a CC Dually 454 Whipple

    I've had a few bulbs go bad early but usually 1 out of 20 I've put in but qc isn't worth a crap anymore and I'm sure they sub em out . Still when a set of 4 cost less than a single halogen bulb I keep em in stock lol

    LS……4.8 or 5.3????

    Yummy....do urself a favor and go to gen 4 knock sensors , they make a harness, and drill and tap holes on two square blocks molded onto the block by oil pan. Nd like said earlier, a Vette fuel filter will make it work with a return fuel system. I just tried a gen 3 to a gen4 6l for my 09...

Well was in my 97, gettimg ready to drop everything into my 09 now. I lile welding cable bc i run the wire inside the frame rail under the truck bc...

    Big Three Upgrade

    Big Three Upgrade

    I grease all points where ground lugs go ( or any bare metal or lug) and use the heat shrink that has the glue/sealer built in. Probably over kill but so is 3/0 welding cable everwhere. Here in snow country, any bare stuff corrodes quickly so i do everythng i can to combat it. Side note, if you...

    Who has tried LED head lights

    Nope, direct plug and play. Be aware if you plug the bulb in ,try everything before you reassemble grill. The plugs on the bulb are not keyed, if it diesnt work unplug and flip connector and it'll work. Have put whole grille together and had a plug backwards and had to pull all off to swap a...

    Towing with 33” tires versus 35” tires

    Nah stick with 4l60e, when built can handle plenty of power. 4l80e has significantly more drag, then I'm changing tcase and drive shafts. I don't beat on the truck often, not drag racing not heavy iffroadig or even huge towing . Just a fun dd. 4l80e are over rated,got a buddy with a STOCK 3/4...

    Towing with 33” tires versus 35” tires

    Agree with ya there, going by same based numbers from dame motor setups, wouldn't cry over 50hp anyways. I'm sure not a world class tuner so tune is lacking I'm sure. And again I'm talking crank HP not wheels, after driveline drag I'm probably closer to 450ish, again loose numbers doing...

    Towing with 33” tires versus 35” tires

    Hmm u want my log files there bud? ****** won't even run if you don't tune it for one. I started by having to turn a gen 3 motor into a gen 4 motor, how many reluctor wheels you changed ? Yeah by hand no jig , I've been tuning on this truck for about week and a half, getting close to what I'm...

    Towing with 33” tires versus 35” tires

    Yeah there is more tunability with the 98 vs older ecm, not as much as a 0411 still. Hptuner won't work for you as I think only goes back to 2000. Idk about efilive , but that's almost 3 times the price as hptuners, which is why I didn't go that route. I'm not sure of what options you have for...

    Towing with 33” tires versus 35” tires

    799 same as 243s , close to same cam numbers and non decked head or thinner head gaskets. Easy 520+ crank HP. LS motors make easy power if you do ur research. My truck will never see a Dyno , not what I built it for , I used parts I had on hand (except cam) and threw it together to go in a...
