    No compression in #4 cylinder, idles rough, like a big cam.

    It’s been a while since I posted on here. Mostly due to work and other hobbies but of course something is wrong with the ole hoe and I humbly come back seeking knowledge from those of you who are much wiser. My hoe, a 1999 LT, 4x4, 5.7 v8, started running with a rough knocking shaking type...

    New head unit options

    I currently have an older pioneer premier HD and am looking at upgrading soon. I really don't care what brand it is, but want the new unit to the whole area better. Something like the OEM unit did. The new unit MUST have an ipod port also, as it's the primary reason i'm upgrading. Any...

    Amp / speaker problem

    I have an mtx 1500 watt amp and two 10 inch pioneer subs in my hoe. For the past couple months, my subs will fire once or twice at random times. This occurs regardless if the radio is on or off. I also have pulled the rca cables and the problem still occurs at random times. I'd say they fire at...

    Painting gauge needles

    How did you do it....After using nail remover, my needles are all fuzzy / distorted now. Any suggestions, I'm planning on painting them white. I'd prefer not to spray paint them since it seems like a lot of work to tape them up.

    De-badging the hoe.

    I posted this topic on the old forum and decided to re-post it here. I have taken the badges/ trim off one side with pretty unsuccessful results. I tried to use my fingers and just rub the tape off with failed attempts. Two huge blisters and only one tape strip off with residue still on the...
