    More air or more fuel????

    How far do you want to go? How much $$ are you going to spend? If you have the trans, and now you want more are you willing to do a build on the motor? Ask yourself that, and then make the decision. I have an HTT 66/16/71 now and am getting a set of Trent's triples to go on top of the HTT...

    Question: Spring clamp location?

    I have a quarter turn of preload, and they ride rougher than stock, bumps (like bridge expansion joints) seem to hit a little harder. I think it is mostly from putting in the aluminum bushing versus the stock rubber bushing in the front spring eye. I have gotten used to it. :D

    egt guage not working

    Do you have the thermocouple wires reversed? The other thing to check is the voltage from the thermocouple. It should generate DC voltage. Check it with a meter (this should rule out the thermocouple if the voltage changes with engine load). There is a corolation between the voltage and the...

    Fuel Mileage

    Winter: 12-14.5 4WD Summer: 15-18 2WD Both of those are commuting, speeds from 65-75. The low numbers are when I start having too much fun! :eek: That is also Alaskan diesel which has a lower wax content, your winter diesel is our summer diesel.

    LLY: Harness, fusebox under hood

    Your best bet would be to get the GM service manual on CD and look up the wiring diagrams. Not a cheap option, but the CD covers ALL GM vehicles from way back to now. Be careful, when I got mine it only worked on XP machines, NOT Win7 or Win7 XP emulator. That may have changed since I bought...

    after market backup camera

    Where I am at we cannot legally have the camera on because we can not have a video display on when traveling, except for GPS. I wired the cam to a switch in my wife's Trailblazer because of the difficulty of getting to the backup wiring (rear lift gate, and BCM under rear seats). She just uses...

    Shop Air

    I have seen white PVC blow off the wall after time and damage a vehicle in a body shop. That failure was in the fitting, not the pipe, a tee broke. Luckily no one was hurt. Be careful with the temperature versus pressure rating. As the temperature goes over 68* F the pressure rating really...

    Help: rookie just got EFIlive

    You really are on the hook for a tune for your rig from one of the tuning vendors if you want something specific. The folks at EFI support the product (hardware and software)... how it is used to modify the tuning, they do not tell you how to tune your truck. A place to start on your own would...

    Question: Programer for mpg

    I can't speak for the LMM, but on my LB7, my $$ would go for EFI w/a DSP5. :thumb: I went the Banks route the first time (they make a nice system), it was OK (I am sure other "modules" are similar), but you get more flexibility with EFI...and when you have to make a change, you can tune your...
