    Interstate battery

    So I need to buy a new battery for my pickup. I am going to get an interstate and have it narrowed down. I can get a Megatron plus that has 800cca, or they have what's called a climate shield that has 700. Now normally I automatically go for the highest CCA, but I am curious as to what is good...

    BB tune

    So I am looking at getting my rig tuned. I see they offer a tune for 240 or a custom tune that reads your truck for 330. While I'm not against spending the extra money, is it worth it? I am going to have it optimized for 91 octane fuel and see if the can minimize the convertor unlocking. Thanks...

    Put new radiator in, now wants to overheat

    As the title says, I just put a new radiator in my truck. Let it sit outside to let it get up to temp and make sure all is good. Went out after a few minutes and it was almost to the red. The radiator didn't feel particularly warm to the touch. And I have no heat. Everything was fine until this...

    Busted bolt in u-joint yoke

    Taking rear driveshaft loose to change the carrier bearing, I snapped a bolt loose. It busted off where the threads start, so it is about a half inch inside of the yoke. It almost looks like you can drill it out and run it out the back side. I was curious if that is the beat course of action or...

    Replacing radiator, any thing else?

    My radiator has developed a leak where the side tank crimps to the core. Doesn't leak if I'm towing on the highway, but if I am putting around town. Is there anything else I should consider replacing while I have it out of there? I flushed the coolant and put a new T-stat a couple months ago...

    Increasing towing performance

    Looking to see if anyone has ideas to make my truck actually tow worth a crap. I pulled an empty horse trailer 180 miles today, and I averaged 11.3 mpg. Trip was in the rolling ills of southern Iowa. Truck and trailer together weigh in right at 9000 lbs. This thing is a pooch and downshifts on...

    4L80E improvement

    I was wondering if there is anything available to hold the torque converter locked. The problem is when towing through the hills, going downhill it unlocks, then I hit the next hill it locks again halfway up. I am worried that over time I'm going to wear the lockup clutch. Thanks

    285s on a k2500 cc with 5.7 and 3.73s

    Its about time to replace the tires on my rig. Its a 2000. It currently has 265s and I am considering bumping up to 285s. So I have a couple questions. Firstly, will they fit with just cranking the t-bars? Secondly, any idea what, if anything, I will lose in fuel mileage and power. Motor is...

    What muffler(s)?

    I am looking to upgrade the exhaust on my 2000. I don't really what to go with, so I figured I would ask the experts. Truck spends a fair amount of time hooked to a trailer, so I definitely don't want something that will drone like crazy. I am looking for more of a smooth sports car like sound...

    Door doesn't open well from inside.

    My drivers door is a pita to open with the inner handle. I have to pull it hard and push on the door. It has progressively gotten worse over the last few weeks. It opens fine with the outer handle. Any suggestions? Thanks
