no, I put them on the Silverado, I have the Bear erradispeed on the front & rear of the yukon, the rears on the silverado are still stock but will be the next one's needing to be done and not sure what I will put on there just yet, but those powerstop rotors & autozone elite pads combo have a pretty good bite.
Not that you ever really slow down.
it's a bad habit, I have slowed down compared to 10 years ago, it's like a science. If you accelerate but instead of accelerating at 100%, just let up a hair (sometimes) and stuff will break less, you know like 5800 rpm instead of 6000 lolNot that you ever really slow down.
Haha. Yeah I realized that after I broke the output shaft on my trans which was the second time I’d destroyed that thing. I mean, we found out later it was the servos not releasing but I’m pretty sure if I had driven like I promised myself I was going to, it wouldn’t have broke. I said no more WOT pulls from a dead stop. That lasted a few months before I started doing it again. It’s a hard habit to break, that pedal to the floor thing. Even in reverse sometimes lol. Don’t do that if you’re AWD.
wot is how I have broken several transmissions even without a supercharger, I gave up on having headers those crack/break even more or the bolts come loose and they leak
Same driving style here. Like to feel the pull.
Yep my trans was built for 800 hp so it shouldn’t have broke. However I used RTV on the pan gasket which caused the servos to not release. The NVG149 transfer case is known to handle well over 1000. The front and rear diffs are what I expected to break. I installed a girdle on the G80 to keep it from twisting the bearing mounts and causing a bearing failure which is a known failure point besides the diff itself. I figured I’d upgrade to a Detroit locker or similar if it went. The front did break but that was a stupid WOT in reverse in order to catch an a**hole throwing things at my truck as I passed him. The design of how they’re mounted doesn’t hold up to lots of torque in reverse so it twisted the case in two and blew up a CV joint. I also replaced all the u-joints after I blew one of the originals up with Spicers because they’re tough. So I TRY to roll a bit before I floor it but yet…
So how is that pronounced? I am not anti-WOTer but I also don’t have enough power to break anything but a motor mount.
I didn't say I'm anti wot, just that I don't do it from an absolute dig in my stock 6k lbs daily driver SUV
Oh kinda like TWAter. Got it! Ok, so maybe I could break more…Wah-ter. Like "water". Means "Wide Open Throttler".
A stock 4.8 has enough ass to break a mount.
sure you do, just press the pedal harder I broke d@m near everything on my 00 5.3, the only thing that took a beating and survived was a my 03 2wd silverado I think because the @ss was light as a feather
ya then there's that....i feel you
Is that a truck cam?I really don't want the idle chop, but given the power curve the TruckNorris cam seems to make, I just might have to go with it anyway. That 107 LSA is a little rowdy.
I was looking at their V2 torque cam, but this basically has the same bottom end as that, but also carries the top end a lot better.

Thats why I asked. Chris is in Cajun country and things is said different than they are up hereI’m pro-WOTer but I pronounce it woater not water, must be an accent or area of the country type thing.
