    Valve lash

    Built my motor last year. Have put roughly 2k miles on it. A couple months ago I developed a slight valve tick, not to noticable cold but definitely noticable hot. Lately it has gotten louder even cold. Traced it down the the passenger side and pulled the valve cover. #7 exhaust was at .040. a...

    Built motor oil

    What is everyone running in their 1000hp+ motors? When is it worth it to step up to a straight weight oil? I currently run amsoil dominator 20w-50. Forged pistons, hx bearings. After a couple hard pulls oil pressure is lower then I like even with DHD oil pump. Just looking to see what others...

    S485 vs S488

    In a twin setup with a internally gated s366/73/.91 charger. Fuel is 14mm pump with 300 overs. I've never driven either on the street before so I need opinions before a jump. Truck is a street/strip but will see more street. I currently have a s480/96/1.32 what would you go with FI S485/96/1.32...

    Turbo setup to make 1000hp

    I had a couple questions. Currently the truck had a 68vgt/s480 T6 1.32 housing. Talked to a couple turbo guys and they are trying to steer me into a s369 or s372 under the s480 or s485. I keep hearing drive pressure is to much to push a vgt over 4 digit power. I was thinking of running my 68vgt...

    Kicker 46TL7T102-3 sub

    Finally put a sub in my ext lbz. Couldn't take it anymore. I looked high and low for a reasonable priced custom box but they cost more then I wanted to spend. I stumbled across the kicker 46TL7T102-3. It fits perfect under the ext cab seats. It's a 10" L7 sub. Figure I'd share as I surfed the...

    Changing setup, need opinions.

    I did a bunch of work to my lmm in the spring. Trans refreshed with goerend R, 200 overs, dual fuelers and a couple other odds and ends. I started a motor build and life has got in the way. Want to make the truck more of a DD then a weekend warrior. Won't tow with it at all. Thinking about...

    Traction control/stabilitrak

    Anyone know how to permanently or temporarily disable these. Went to the track last night. Kept turning them off but they kept coming back on. It would launch hard out of the hole and fall right on it's face with the traction light blinking even with them turned off. I'd have to hit the button...

    Billet Injector hold downs???

    Anyone here having problems with stock hold downs on the lly/lbz/lmm? I swapped nozzles a few months back and haven't had a problem until the other day. I ran the truck hard about 6 times making a few test passes now I have a tick on the pass side. I've only put probably 500 miles on it since...

    Anyone ever use a dragy?

    I bought one a few months ago and it's been riding around with me. Was out messing around tonight and it was hard to make a decent pass with traffic and the cold roads. Figured I'd give it a try. 1.89 60' 330' 4.97 1/8 [email protected] 1000' [email protected] 1/4 [email protected] Anyone else try these?

    Anti gravity lithium batteries

    Figured Id give some input on someone else who maybe buying one of these. I picked up the antigravity lithium ion H6 size battery 40ah, It's 1500 ca. I've had it in my truck for a couple weeks with surprising results. I don't run glow plugs and it cranks over much faster then the single leadacid...

I Ordered Mcgaughys drop hangers to bring the back down. problem is Rear shocks only have about 3" of travel left now. Was wondering if everyone runs stock length shocks or what...

    Cab vents/water leak

    Figured I share this incase anyone else is having this problem. I was hunting down a water leak in my LBZ for awhile. It would only get water in it when it was parked down hill and the water was always on the front floors. I checked drains, door seals, everything I could think of. The other day...

    Fuel gauge help

    It's been awhile since I've had a fuel tank apart. I always just put sumps in anymore but of course in my lbz the fuel gauge is always erratic. I suspect the sender is bad. Do I just buy the float assembly or the whole sender? Does anyone have one for cheap?

    Headgaskets

    Well I bought a new to me LBZ 2wd W/T in great shape about 3 months ago. Fixed a bunch of things like ball joints etc, added lift pump, gauges, fixed the EGR. Finally got it on the road last week. I Noticed a small puddle in my driveway only after it sits overnight. Sure enough coolant running...

    Different wheel offsets

    I was bored yesterday. I have a set of 20x9's with zero offset and 20x10's with -19 offset. Never liked how the back sticks in two inches but don't want to run wheel spacers. I swapped wheels around to check it out. The offsets come out perfect and both sets have 305/50/20 nitto 420's on them...

    Setup change for towing

    So I'm about to move into a new house with a two car garage. My kids are begging me to build another drag truck(they found all my old videos of when I ran the 10.50 index in my 92 S10) I'm thinking about stepping out of the diesel game a bit and swapping a carbed LS1 into another square body...
