    NP246/266 custom build

    For now, I'm going to run it straight without a cooler and monitor temps via the drain plug. I'm buying an arduino and going to program it to run my fuel pump via throttle % and the transfer case pump via temp and vehicle speed(so I don't run the pump at 100% risking running the cases pump dry)...

    NP246/266 custom build

    Also, I did loose a bit of strength in terms of the output shaft, as that's where the NP263XHD is 1.5" vs the NP246 1.25. Not too concerned for my application, as I have ran the numbers and have a great cushion before that fails. I wouldn't recommend it for 750+hp duramax's though :happy2: I...

    NP246/266 custom build

    I figured I share a little project I've been working on for about a month or so. It is a 05 np246 I bought on craigslist cheap $200.00. Something I've always wanted was an AWD duramax, so I figured I'd build this up to handle the power that my truck pushes out - rougly 950 Ft Lbs. I started out...

    EV Powertrains.

    The new Audi SQ7 TDI does what you were going trying to accomplish. They utilize a 48 volt system to spin up the turbocharger. You may want to check it out, pretty interesting stuff.

    LLY: Control arm bushings

    The leaf spring shells I beat out with a drift and hammer. However you do re-use the UCA inner sleeve and the little circular pieces on the ends of the sleeve - I can't recall what you call them, lol.

    LLY: Control arm bushings

    I would advise renting a torsion bar unloading tool - they have a nub on one end that helps secure the tool during use. I wouldn't mess around trying to use a ball-joint. Some may even tell you to detach the LCA from the spindle and lower the LCA with a jack to unload the bars, again; that's...

    Also, if the gmlan wires you ran from the DLC to c100 aren't twisted, they can pick up noise and cause communication errors.

    2017 Duramax

    I'm hoping Jan 11th or so with the Detroit auto show? I was under the impression the can't produce anymore LMLs after the 1st of 2016 and they built a reserve of them while they're doing the revamp at the factory? Surely they didn't build enough for 3rd Q2016?

    San Antonio Area

    I'm from the Helotes area. I enjoy it, they're doing quite a bit of expanding out here now. If you can afford it, I normally recommend the Northwest side of town, outside of loop 1604 between Bandera and 281. Nicest areas, homes in the $200's-millions and low violent crime rate. I generally...

    2017 Duramax

    I really don't see why everyone is saying GM isn't doing anything? They're remaining competitive with a power-train that has been out since 2010 - typically, beating Dodge and Ford in towing comparisons, which have higher advertised ratings. Unless you consider remaining silent while working in...

    You're killing me, it's "what!" If you're saying all you installed into the transmission is the transgo kit. Then you're on borrowed time as is (at a true 500hp); in no-way shape or fashion is that kit capable of holding 600hp{Let alone 500hp(it truly holds 400-425hp on a healthy transmission...
