    Compound turbo tuning

    So as the title says, need some tips to get me dialed in on my LBZ. I've done countless research over the web and not much info to get me dialed in. Mostly related to vgt tables and map/boost settings. So far I've taken small changes in the tuning as I've progressed over each tunes I've done and...

    Intercooler mount/bushing

    I've been searching for a while but can't find the damn lower intercooler mount/bushing for my LBZ. Found a massive leak at the intercooler where the pins goes in at the bottom. I'm pretty sure they're shot and want to replace them before I put my new intercooler in. Any help would be...

    Used frame or rolling chassis

    I've been searching around for a used frame or rolling chassis. It seems like that the prices are retarded high for a used frame in the Northeast rusty frames. What's everyone usually paying for a good CCSB frame or rolling chassis? Just don't want to get screwed on paying something too much for...

    Building a shop

    I'm planning to build a shop and I'm somewhat stuck on how big to build it, steel or wood building. I have a 21x30 garage attached to my house and it's already full of my toys and tools, barely can get my wife's car in it, even my truck won't fit in it length wise due to shelves by the end of...

    Air bag front suspension

    Probably a long shot on here but I know that there are a few of you running bagged setups. I haven't found a good source what are you guys running for the front setup in air bag suspensions.... as in slammed trucks, frame laid to the ground. I've always wanted a lowrider for the next truck. As...

    New ride

    I picked up this clean 07 ccsb last night. I'll be dropping it a little, just ordered the stuff on the way. It has the dsp 5 but the previous owner doesn't know who the tuner is since he bought it off someone else. Hopefully I can get into the ecm, the tuning definitely needs work, the...

    Not my day

    So I guess mother nature decided to play some April fool's joke on me... Caught on an icy patch and couldn't regain control for the first time in my life. I'm alright, walked away from that with no injuries. Pretty bummed that I had big plans for it this year.

    Output shaft socket

    Been looking for the output shaft socket for the spanner nut on the extension housing. Apparently all the stores I've been to sells the same exact brand PT, #WR1271 but that socket is 1/4" too short to reach the tangs of the nut. Socket bottoms out on the bottom of the shaft. anyone know where I...

    Avalanche doors on crew cab

    Quick question, does the non cladded avalanche doors fit on the 06 Silverado? I know the front is the same but I am uncertain if the rear doors are the same. My passenger doors got gouged by a trailer and I found a set of mint doors off an 05 avalanche.

    SS brake hose for lifted trucks

    Can't find any reliable source if the Russel SS hoses will fit on lifted applications. Tried my local hose shop, they don't do SS brake hoses :confused:. I'm not sure if those hoses would work when the truck hits full droop. I've had my rear at full droop and the brake hose would be literally...

    Which flex plate?

    I've been getting the tinging & rattling noise ever since I replaced my trans mount 2 weeks ago. I've determined that the flex plate is now cracked. Which brand do most of you guys prefer?

    Rear axle shaft

    I've been battling rear hub seal leaking on the driver's side. Got annoyed with it and ripped out my axle shaft at work and put it on lathe. Found out my driver's side axle shaft is bent after trying to get to the root of the vibration at highway speed. My question is, should I stick with stock...

    37" tire suggestions

    I'm due for a new set of tires in the spring. Currently I have the Nitto Trail Grappler. I'm not quite impressed with the tire, it handles okay in the snow but it is a joke in the mud, it got me stuck easily and would not clean out the treads which took me 10 hours to get it out. Highway driving...

    Rear half of body weight

    Does anyone know the weight of the rear half of the truck, I.E, the bed with frame, fuel tank, hitch, bumper? I'm looking at a set of airbags, it has a minimum of 20psi @ 1500lbs to achieve my ride height. So that's 3klbs at 20 psi, I'm not too sure if it would make my rear end too high at that...

    MA inspection stations

    I'm in need of an inspection sticker in the Worcester county. I've been over 20 local stations within 20 miles and they won't pass me because of my lift. Some stations I know that used to pass people with lifts are now suspended or on parole. Any of you know a place that will pass me? State...

    NP263XHD rebuild kit

    I've been searching for a complete rebuild kit for mine due to a driveline vibration. My rear driveshaft yoke at the transfer case moved up and down by hand easily as an indication of driveline vibration. I've noticed some of the vendors does not specify what brand the bearings are, I've seen...

    New brakes!

    Today was a beautiful day to work on my truck. I've been pushing it off for a bit too long and finally found the time to get it done. My brake fluid was overdue for a flush, fluid was black like engine oil. It had a spongy pedal after I did a hydroboost flush last month when I changed out my...

    Inj pulse width

    I'm curious what happens when the injector pulse width is too low at idle area. Also how many mpa does it usually run at idle? Couldn't find any info about this. I've been experiencing a weird rattle that only happens for 2 second upon initial start up. Been that way for years, never could...

    Digital dual climate control buttons

    Googled all over the internet and I wasn't able to find a replacement button for my dual climate control. I just need to replace a button, the whole unit works fine. It's not worn out or anything, I accidently broke a piece off the defroster button trying to install a custom console I'm in the...

    GM rear fuel tank

    I'm trying to gather more information about the GM rear fuel tank found on the 3500's. I need more fuel capacity in my truck, recently looked into the titan tank and decided not to use it because of the fuel tank hanging low. I do take it off road once in a while and half the time I crawl over...
