    raptor liner instead of paint ?.?.?.?

    will definitely post pics of it after it's done. gonna wait until it's warmer weather so it gets a good bond. the weather doesnt get really cold here, however in the next month or so the winter rains will start and I'm rotating back to night shift in the next week for 12 weeks. it'll probably...

    raptor liner instead of paint ?.?.?.?

    definitely tougher than typical paint, my only apprehension is if i can get it close to a similar gloss shine as a regular paint job. I'm guessing if it were to be clear coated to have a shine to it the clear coat wouldn't hold up as long.

    raptor liner instead of paint ?.?.?.?

    I've been contemplating raptor lining my 2005 Tahoe instead of painting it. Biggest reason being I cant find a paint and body person local to me that will do an all over paint job. Has anyone on here done it yet ? It seems like a fairly simple process, biggest thing is time, I work with a paint...

    Oxygen Sensor help........

    do you remember the casting numbers that castech supplied? the ones that came off were 706 castings. the ones that I put on were 862 castings. all the research I read said the largest difference between those two castings was the casting material(s) used. one had minimally smoother interior...

    original GM heads. was castech one of GM's suppliers for their cylinder heads ? i ordered these from allied motor parts in Austell GA. they have great turn around time and were extremely helpful and knowledgeable...

    Oxygen Sensor help........

    no secret launch codes here that im aware of LMAO I just dont remember the code number, just what the scanner said. Due to my frustration with totally dispising a check enigine light i cleared the code a week or two ago. i feel certain it will re-appear and when it does i will get the secret...

    Oxygen Sensor help........

    this is what im leaning towards also. yeah its throwing the code on both left and right sides. I dont know of any vacuum leaks at this time. however i do know when changing the cam it could have altered the amount of vacuum produced and therefore altering other things. i think it maybe...

    Oxygen Sensor help........

    Wow lots of information and differing opinions on this topic. I haven't had time to get back under the hoe and try putting an extender in there. someone referred to an EGT (exhaust gas temperature) sensor. it isn't that sensor. it is the upstream O2 sensors. I know sometimes knock off parts...

    Oxygen Sensor help........

    can you upload a pic or link to one of these extenders ok I'm even more confused i think at this point. how would placing an extender onto the O2 sensor cause it to be warmer?? I'm thinking if you place an extender on the O2 sensor it will cause it to be further from the exhaust gases and...

    Oxygen Sensor help........

    I honestly dont remember the brand name of the O2 sensor I bought. Im not certain of the specifics of the code prior to me changing the sensors. The mechanic who re-programmed my ECM for the cam swap told me the O2 sensors were bad when I picked it up from him. I saw a youtube video yesterday of...
