    Oil analysis questions...

    Ok so would a funnel do this? I dont have a dedicated funnel for oil. I usually just wipe em down and spray out with air. Maybe spray with brake clean first before airing out. Would all of that get into oil when Im ADDING the oil? And stay in there for 8k miles?

    Turbo vanes.....

    Where u at in Central Ohio? Im in Reynoldsburg. In all honestly I was just wondering what would happen if it was doable. I dont have the writing software for an LML anyways and Im not bugging my tuner about it so.... Maybe when I switch tuners I will ask Kory. Just seems the LBZ's have...

    Turbo vanes.....

    Ok so Im sure this is a dumb question to 99% of you guys but as many know Im a noob to diesels. Just had a thought the other day though.... What would happen if you kept the VGT vanes open all the time (0%)(to sound like the LB7) or close to open at all rpms? Would you still make boost or no...

    Shocks gone

    Went with the Rancho 5000 up front since they are really the only ones I could find (and recommended from Monroe... parent company of Rancho) that would fit my 2.5"ish level. Might be less but cant find my sheet I wrote down measurements on. Went with Rancho 9000xl in back. I used spacer up...

    DIY shoc extenders

    Ok I see how they are using what looks like "pucks" on top mounts. What are the physical heights of these? What are DIY guys using in material? Guess I could just order them...lol.

    DIY shoc extenders

    Leveled the front for my new tires a few months ago now trying to get to the extenders for my shocks. Do you see any reason why you could not build your own and run them on top? Maybe even weld to the bottom and do it from there. Im sure someone has had to do this by now. Seems easy enough to...

    Pioneer 4200NEX

    How hard is it to replace the Bose amp? Plug and play or have to hard wire every speaker to the amp? What limited functions are there for maps? Dont you have the option to mirrorlink or similar with these or was that just previous model? I wouldnt be using maps too often just here and there if...

    Z71 Appearance Package

    My 2011 has both Z71 appearance and suspension but not color matched like the 2012 and up. In process of trying to figure out process of doing so. Gonna paint the steel chrome bumper but not wanting to risk painting over the plastic chrome crap. Im getting an OEM Z71 grill for 2013 so that takes...
