    Water pump

    While having the steering box replaced on the truck my mechanic noticed that the water pump was leaking out the weep hole. I will be replacing it next weekend after I gather up the new parts needed but I had a couple questions. What else do you guys replace when doing this? I was thinking...

    Airdog 2 replacement motor

    After about five years my airdog no longer works. I noticed the motor making a straining noise and figured the end was near and sure enough it's done. In doing my research I've seen that pure flow offers a replacement motor for around 200 bucks. I've sent them an email and tried calling...

    Ac compressor

    Mine is starting to chirp mostly in the mornings when I first start the truck. Is there a way or has anyone just replaced the pulley and clutch instead of the entire compressor? The air still works really well and is rather not have to evacuate the system and have it recharged.

    Good buying experience

    With all the talk lately about garage sale transactions going so bad I though I would post up a positive one for a change. I bought a set of stock lly from 05chevy. It was one of the easiest transaction I've had. Quick communication along with a tracking number. The package arrived quickly...

    Rear entertainment screen

    The rear screen is not working right. We can get sound but no picture. No remote or headphones were included when we purchased. Has anyone else had this experience? Do I need to replace the screen? I plan on buying a remote as trying to use the touchscreen in front to run the DVD is a huge...

    New SUV questions.

    I bought the wife a 2009 escalade hybrid a year ago. It's been a good truck for her and our two kids but I've had to out more money in it than I would have liked. It's got too many fancy gadgets for its own good. We have a big road trip coming in march that we will be taking her vehicle on...

    Excellent service

    Just thought everyone should know how happy I've been with Danville performance. Two years ago I bought a stage two turbo and had them modify my cp3. Over 50,000 hard miles later and it still runs and rips as good as the day it was all put on. I've sled pulled, drag raced, towed heavy and far...

    Sitting at the hospital with the wife. Water broke about 4:30 this morning. Now just waiting for the big show. Perfect timing as I just finished with working 14 hour days for a month and a half straight. Going to take a couple weeks off to spend all my time with my family and reconnect with...

    Socket holders

    This is copied and pasted from another forum I belong to called garage journal. Since most of us are pretty hardcore gear heads with extensive tool collections I thought this might be a nice addition for toolbox organization. This is also a nice way to support an American company. They are...

    rear pinion yoke

    I've been having problems since last summer after I broke the pinion yoke and driveshaft. When that happened, I put on a new 1480 rear yoke, brand new driveshaft, new center link and tie rods. The truck had a four wheel alignment done and it came back better than factory specs. The...

    altered stock pull truck

    I'm wanting to campaign a truck in our ISP altered stock 6500 lb class. It's a mixed class of gas and diesel trucks. It's very competitive and seems to be growing in numbers every year. It's also the step up from stock diesel as the other option is 3.0 open driveline. Here's my dilema...

    spool

    I was looking at spools and could only find a yukon full spool for just over 1200 or a mini spool for around 300. The truck it would be going in would be around 650 rwhp and 6500lbs. would the mini spool along with 30 spline moser axles hold up? This truck would be a trailer queen and see NO...

    first time at track

    So I had to run up to wisconsin yesterday to deliver a set of rims/tires. I took 39 up there and ran past Byron, and it being saturday, I thought why not run the test and tune. Of course it started raining right at 10 when we were supposed to start racing so I waited it out and we got going...

    p0336

    p0336 So here's my latest story with the truck: The truck has had a rough idle for a while. Lately it had gotten worse. It would really shake the truck at idle and the balance rates were all over the place with two of the injectors over +14. Thursday morning as I got to work the truck died...

    cat oil filter

    Does anyone know if there is a cat filter that will work for the oil filter on our trucks? I'd really like to run a cat as the price and quality can't be beat. I already run a cat fuel filter and would like to switch the oil filter to a cat unit as well. thanks

    lly motors

    what is the achilles heel of the LLY motors? the LBZ has rods and pistons. the LB7 has the injectors. From what I'm reading the LLY has the biggest stock turbo but the lbz spools faster? How much horsepower are stock internal lly's pushing reliably? I keep hearing 500 rwhp is the...

    autometer replacement bulbs

    I'm trying to find some replacement bulbs for my autometer gauges. the part number is 3286. It's the blue bulb. any vendor on here sell them or does anyone know of someplace local to look for these.
