    NV3500 to NV4500 swap w/ NP241

    Hey guys, I was doing the same (3500-4500 swap) and had the exact same thoughts. Eventually through reading I found the 3500 input shaft is only rated to 300ft lbs of torque. My truck sits around 400hp and I thought it would take the abuse. I drove it on the street, using 4x4 once in a blue moon...

    HELP!!! In need of a decent source for an nv4500

    I've been working solid for what seems to be forever. I am proud to say however, that 4-5 months ago I managed to finally get my NV4500. It was only $500! Mind you I drove from just north of Toronto Canada to Donaldson PA. Hahaha Luckily I took my little (untill I get my gm back on the road)...

    swap/upgrades to front calipers

    ^ For being relatively cheap they perform great. The guy that happened to pop out of a side road was pretty mad, cause he did so 1/2 way through me breaking them in. And he hated the "invisible rabbits" that kept jumping out in front of me. lol He almost ate bumper 3 times those things stop on a...

    The Subwoofer Box Thread

    I took out those useless catch all plastic bins in the back sides of my extended cab, Built a strange time consuming sealed box in each side with thin 10in pioneer subs(tough hitting that .6 cu inch number). Had to cut 2 and a half inches off each side of the bottom of the bench and 1 and a half...

    thermal actuator

    I put this up in a different post. What I did was: There is a wire (light blue i believe) that runs to the actuator. I got a double pole, single throw switch and used one half to disrupt the blue wire after the relay. The second side of the switch I used on the black and white wire going to the...

    thermal actuator

    Expensive though if you just want it for 2low. Just throw a switch on the signal wire. Works like a champ

    TBI or Carb? What Do You prefer?

    I have a choke on mine and usually I get up go outside fire it up on 1-4 choke inside again for maybe 3-4 min and I have to run out and take the choke off before I wake the neighbors. If it's snowy it's usually warm by the time it's all brushed off. Ive seen 4-5 -40 days in a row last year. (btw...

    Putting Carb with Vortec Heads on TBI

    Forgot to mention, if you go manual pump seal off your return line so crap doesn't get into your tank.

    Putting Carb with Vortec Heads on TBI

    That's what I have. Now your stepping into custom territory where 87-95 no longer applies. So for your intake look up 96-99 vortec style (5.7 not the 5.0). I went with summit stage 2 intake which is dual plenum. stage3 is wide open and would be a gas pig and I doubt you'll be WOT all the time...
