    91 TBI Tuning

    I’ve been doing a lot of reading about tuning and data logging but it’s hard to answer specific questions and it seems people opinions vary quite a bit so i have a couple questions i’m looking for feedback on. I have 91 K2500 with a 350 and 4l80e. I am considering going down the rabbit hole of...

    2024 Silverado HD badges

    I could probably get another set of the 2500 badges if anyone wants some. I’ll see what i can do. No idea what they would cost to purchase because as I said i get them free when i have to install black badges on a new truck i just keep the chrome ones. Might have some extra black ones tho i’ll...

    2024 Silverado HD badges

    haha that’s why i did it! at work one day i was looking at them thinking about it so i went out to the parking lot to see if they fit in that groove body line thing.

    2024 Silverado HD badges

    Thanks! We also get the black badges. I feel like they’d look really good on a Red or white truck.

    2024 Silverado HD badges

    Just got this random idea and gave it a try. Looks decent imo. Matches the chrome on the truck like the wheel trim the bumpers and grill. Not sure if i would purchase these badges but i get them for free from work. (Chevy dealership) I also have the guide thing to line it up and evenly space it...

    4L80e No engine braking

    4L80e No engine braking

    I’ll double check but believe it was a trans go kit.

    4L80e No engine braking

    I mean it’s adequate for third gear. It’s not gonna slow down with a 8 thousand pound trailer but it will hold the truck at a steady speed down hills and it will slow me down on less severe hills and flat land so long as i’m not super loaded up. But yes it’s definitely noticeable as compared to...

    4L80e No engine braking

    So i went and tested it again. 2nd DEFINITELY does not engine brake at all. it coasts better than 3rd. However the low band does engage because it engine brakes in first. So one thing i’m possible looking at is the 1-2 servo/ the seal for it. It could have possibly been knicked when it was...

    4L80e No engine braking

    I went pretty slow when testing this. shouldn’t have been going to fast especially considering it actually did drop to second. it just goes to idle if i’m not on the gas. the owners manual tells you to downshift to decend hills if you are well loaded up. no headlight chimes.

    4L80e No engine braking

    Yeah i tow car trailers and frequently have excess of 2000 pounds in the bed. the area i live in has a lot hills and i’d prefer not to have my brake drums smoking the whole way down. i’m also not worried about wear on my transmission. it’s built to do this. if it wears out… i’ll just rebuild it lol.

    4L80e No engine braking

    I did a lot of reading on another thread about a diesel guy who said he had no engine braking with a 4l80e and it seems similar to my issue. My truck is 1991 K2500 HD 350TBI with 4L80E and 3.73 gears. I built the engine last year and my uncle built the transmission like 5ish years ago. The...

    Tonneau Cover with Rack??

    Ok guys i just found this one. Seems to be a different brand maybe but the same thing?

    Tonneau Cover with Rack??

    Maybe. That’s definitely a better option with the low profile design. But it’s also DOUBLE the price and i’m having trouble finding one for an 8 ft bed. i’ll keep looking tho.

    Tonneau Cover with Rack??

    yeah that looks good. but that cover is different like u said. maybe i could go under with mine and kinda use that as a model. thanks for that visual!

    Tonneau Cover with Rack??

    I was thinking maybe moving the rack forward as much as i can and getting the bed cover on top of the mounting brackets for the rack somehow.

    Tonneau Cover with Rack??

    Here’s what I bought. https://www.ebay.com/itm/325303477392?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=2a37clFFR66&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=QYa2A7MnQJy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Yeah i don’t know how i could make both work but i’m trying to figure it out. This truck has had the rack...

    Tonneau Cover with Rack??

    So i did something pretty stupid. I wanted a tonneau cover so i ordered one completely forgetting i have this big rack on my truck that bolts to the bed rails. Any of you smart folks out there have any ideas on how i could make some sort of bracket to have both? I really want to have both lol...

    Adding AUX to 88-94 Stock Stereo

    Adding AUX to 88-94 Stock Stereo

    Hey guys not trying to revive a dead thread but i did this mod in my truck and the audio isn’t bad per say. it’s pretty good but obv not on par with a new vehicle. just wondering if u had any input if putting better speakers would help or if the limiting factor is just the stock amp.

    Redid My Stock 3/4 Ton wheels

    Yeah i just sprayed them with gloss black 1-3 coats depending on how much time u got. I do it to all my GM wheels with lug nut covers. Did it to my ‘01 Blazer and my ‘91 camaro. Holds up pretty good to sun.
