For the rocker arms I’d go with the Smith Bros trunnion upgrade kit which is pretty easy to do yourself or if you want to spend some money and supposedly net 25 hp go with some Yella Terra full roller rockers. I highly recommend Vinci High Performance, their service is the greatest. http://www.vincihiperformance.com/LS1 VALVETRAIN PAGE REDONE.HTML

Well, I went to the truck to test out a new ODDII adapter, lost the other one somwhere. Truck was dead, wife borrowed the truck a few days ago and left the dash cam on again. I forgot to hook up the battery tender as well. So we'll see if the tender can works its magic again or if it's time for a new battery after almost 52 months for the 30 month battery.

You need something like this...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072J3L2JN/ref=cm_sw_r_u_apa_fabc_3LXVFbYCMN184?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

It has low voltage detection and shuts off the power if it drops below 11.9V.

I like that one better than another I had my eye on. One thing the manufacturer stressed though, was not to use those things and just plug them into the cigar lighter for reasons unknown to me. It'll have to wait, I finally found the 2-Way Advanced Remote Start kit for my truck and bought it. Previously, I'd been buying up parts and hoping they'd work. Last attempt didn't work out so we shelved the plan till cooler weather anyway.

The hardwire kit I use for my dashcam has a selectable voltage cut off. It ranges from like 11.8v-12.4v. I think I have mine set to 12.0v.

It helps prevent a dead battery if left in parking mode for extended periods

the one i have in my vette, i usually turn off manually when i park but i like to leave it plugged in.
Works great that way for the most part, and prevents the internal battery from going dead and loosing the date and time.

My idea with the dash cam, if the car leaves view of my house security cameras, then i want it's cameras rolling!
Too many weird things happen to that car.

I even had someone steal my cheapie OEM (C5 era) aluminum valve stem caps once.
But Just on one side. :confused:
I saw who did it, he looked homeless.

Hard part is when i park the car for a month or two, even with the camera off it drains the battery slowly. :rolleyes:


Make sure you get front and rear cameras, most seem expect the front camera but not the rear. ;)

Something i learned, i got rage rear ended one day on the freeway one day...
Me: "you hit me, are you going to pull over???!"
Him: "you hit me"
Me: "dash cam front and back buddy"
Him: *shaky voice* "Ok"
Him: "so you want me to pull over then"
Me: "yes!"

Turns out the driver was out on bail.
Second time something like that happened.


Time before the guy tried to bully me after being rear ended,
His friend kept saying he was an ultimate fighter while all getting closer and closer to me
Me: "I am Armed"
Him: still acting tough but backing away... :Big Laugh:
Me: "Cops called"

Cop was acting weird about it...
So when i got home i googled the drivers name.
Turned out to be Utah's dumbest criminal in 2011
Tried to rob a dollar store with an airsoft gun that he stole from the Walmart across the street.
Stole the magic marker he used to paint over the orange tip also...

Lost money in the transaction, girl called his bluff and took his $1 and the candy bar he used to get the till open.

Dashcams!
Make sure it records audio, important to cover your ass.

:cheers:


I'm also VERY glad that i no longer commute. :D

Just added a water pump to the to-do list.
Heard a new sound today while warming up the hoe.
seems to be coming from the water pump area.

While I'm in there i guess... :rolleyes:
I was sorta expecting to do it, but i was hoping to find a recent water pump replacement.

So question: i have the HD cooling, is there a special high flow pump or only one type?

no same pump, the only thing that makes it heavy duty is higher wattage fans and a 1/8" thicker radiator.

Pretty sure it's just one pump. I like to leave the cameras rolling while parked in case someone hits the truck. Audio is always on! The new one has night vision and WIFI too.

Yeah, the one linked to earlier. I'm sure there are better ones out now. Bought that one in February. It basically fit in the same compact footprint as the one it replaced, same screen and menus but had a better front camera and IR LEDs for the interior camera and they added WIFI and some other features. I like the GPS and the overlay on the screen with position and speed. Would come in handy if in an accident or a false accusation.

You should meet one of my neighbors at the back corner of my property.
Classic narcissist.

All about him, and how dare i mow my lawn while he is outside.
And clearly I'm doing it purposely because of narcissist reasons.
:rolleyes:

I have pretty thick skin, and carry a large stick (with a permit of course). lol

Also Gives me stories to tell :D

My neighbor gave me the original set of winter wheels and tires that came with my 2007. My Grandad, the PO of mine gave them to him quite a few years ago. I’ll post pictures when I get back out in the garage. Its weird that the wheels are the same wheel the spare tire/PPV uses, but they have these fake chrome plates fixed to them. Rubber is In pretty okay shape, about 1/3 life left, aside from being 13 years old. I plan to use these wheels as burners, or maybe I can find a drag radial that will work.

I’d be leery of 13 year old tires. Got a close up of the date code?

The plastic cladding was fairly common on the lower trim packages, if I recall.

Guess it really depends on what the plan is with those wheels and tires.

Ditching the tires and mounting some slicks or drag radials for track use?

Agreed, I have never used my spare, and took it off a few years ago just because it was 10+ years old. I do have AAA so that helps me a bit.

But, I'd love to get a nice set like that for the winter!


As for me, I just picked up mobil 1 syn oil and a filter at walmart and changed the oil before it gets too cold.
