    2 Dr Tahoe B Pillar Speakers?

    So my next project is to tackle the stock sound system. I am thinking about doing 6.5" component speakers in the door, 6.5" speakers in the q logic kick panels, run these off a 4 channel amp, and disconnect the rear speakers. Down the road I will get just one 10" sub and find some place to hide...

    Engine build roadblock

    So I am ready to put in a new 383 engine into my 99 tahoe. I was going to have one built but now I think I will just buy the gm 383 full short block. Awhile ago I bought the complete ramjet intake with fuel rails injectors and throttle body. I also have some nice vortec heads. Along with this I...

    Oh the trouble with engine codes...

    So yesterday as I was heading home from work my 99 tahoe started acting up. The truck would lose power under load, the engine was knocking, and under "harder" acceleration the exhaust would backfire on the passenger side. So I get home ok and on the way stop at autozone to have my codes read...

    Heads were flow tested... Now I need a cam

    Well the ever growing engine rebuild which has turned into a full swap is headed into its final phase. Originally I was just going to do swap on the ram jet intake which turned into heads, cam, and intake and now has become build a 383 for the heads and intake. I was opposed to doing a 383...

    Tow mirror install

    I got these in today and put them on immediately. I was a little concerned they would look too big but I am really happy with how they look. I have my spare tire in the back window I was looking for some more visibility and these work perfectly. The fit and finish look stock.

    Larger oil pan and pump

    When I pull my engine to do my planned upgrades I will probably do the oil cooler delete and switch to the 2wd drive oil filter adapter. I was curious if anyone has put larger oil pans (7 or 8 qt.) in their lifted trucks to help with cooling. From my reading it is debatable that the increase...

    Pics of lifts with 285/75r18 tires

    I am thinking of changing my wheels and tires. Due to my knuckle lift the front tires stick out too far for my liking. So I am looking at a rim with more backspacing and a narrower tire than what I currently have(305/70r16). If you are running 285/75r18's please post a picture of your setup.

    Tall Valve Covers

    I am going to need new taller valve covers with my new heads/cam setup. My question is: those of you that have them on your engine did they interfere with your ac compressor and how did you work around it? If the valve covers did not interfere what covers did you use? Thanks

    Saab 9-5?

    I'm thinking about buying a new car and I'm looking to maybe get another Saab. I know that parts are expensive and not easy to come by but I had one before and I sold it. The car I had before was a 9-3 and I sold it with 375,000 miles on it which I bought it with only 40000. The car was super...

I also was wondering if I have overlooked anything or should do other repairs while I am at it. Here is a list of what I have ordered: AGR 284352 Gear...

    Lifted suspension and sway bar question

    I have a 99 two door Tahoe with a 6 inch RCD suspension lift. I was going to install a thicker front sway bar to help with oversteer issues. The links on this kit are longer to accommodate the suspension lift. These links were a pain to put in and I don't think I'm going to be able to...

    New winch bumper

    Just installed my custom built winch bumper. I have some lights for the bar but have yet to install them. The guy that built it for me is in the Charlotte area. His primary work is on land rovers, but he was so happy with how this turned out he wants to make more obs stuff. Now to pick out a...

    Fuel injection swap

    Ok, so I am about to take the plunge and change my intake. I just wanted to clear something up first. When it comes to wiring the new injectors all the wires necessary are in that large plug that goes into the spider, right? So in order to wire the individual injectors you need to cut off the...

    Weighing my options

    Weighing my options (Building a 383) I am looking to modify my 350 vortec or swap it to a 355 or 383. My goal with this truck is to increase low end torque due to the 33" tires this will not be a high revving engine. The exhaust has been upgraded to thorley tri-y's and 2.5" exhaust. I also...

    Heat soak starter

    After my header install my truck has a hard time turning over when the engine is hot, no problem when cold. I am fairly certain that it is suffering from heat soak. My question is what is a good starter that is not susceptible to the added heat?

    Question from a new member/lurker

    I wanted to thank all the members of the forum for all the helpful info on here without all the nastiness you get on other forums. You guys were especially helpful with diagnosing a steering problem, turned out to be the speed sensor. So I just installed a new exhaust system with thorley...
