    L31 to MPFI with other than Marine Intake Manifold

    I know I am a few months late to reply but I have been working on an L31/350 Vortec MPFI intake manifold. I am still early in the testing stage. This is a dual plane intake manifold with an estimated RPM range of 1,000-6,000 RPMs (I could change the base manifold to be a 1,500-6,500 RPM...

    (NJ) 2005 HD Conversion

    I am just gauging interest in the front end off a 2005 2500HD. The only thing that is needed is a new lower bumper valance since this one is cracked up. I believe you will need the fenders, radiator core support, hood, grille, front bumper, horns and bumper brackets. If nobody on here...

    2002 4L60E

    When I check on RockAuto, I see the 2002 4L60E is a one off year. I know all of these NBS 4L60Es are physically the same size and bolt pattern. Does anybody know what is different about it? I am looking for a vehicle to install my 2002 4L60E into but I want to know what I'd need to change.

    2002 Tahoe part out

    2002 Tahoe Z71 with 220k miles but pretty much any wear part (drivetrain, suspension, fuel system) has been replaced in the past 45k miles. I originally found a small pinhole in the frame that I was comfortable repairing. When I dropped the fuel tank, the entire inner rail is pinholes...

    03 Escalade ext cranks then dies

    If you turn the key to the start position and let go of the key so it returns to the run position, does it continue to crank for a few seconds?

    Battery tray coating suggestions?

    MasterSeries primer and paint. I'm in the process of doing my entire frame, body mount cups, battery tray, rear axle, lift components, etc with this stuff and its turning out amazing. They claim it has something insane like a 14,000 hour salt water life. It was originally designed for bridges.

    Budget lift dont wanna spend over 600 how high can I go

    If you are handy at welding and fabricating, you can do a 3" body lift for $140 (3" blocks, class 10 bolts and steering shaft extension) like I'm in the process of doing. You will have to make make your own transmission cooler brackets, bumper brackets (front is very easy) and filler neck...

    315/75r16 2000 yukon coil spacers and keys

    CV shaft angle is worse than mine and I destroy axles yearly but it looks good!

    2002 5.3 Crank appears to wobble at idle

    I think you'll be okay. Now you have me curious and I want to check both my LS trucks but I currently have both motors on engine stands at my mom's.

    2002 5.3 Crank appears to wobble at idle

    I honestly don't know. The harmonic balancer does exactly what its name suggests; it reduces engine vibration. I suppose in an extreme circumstance that it could prematurely damage main bearings but I doubt it. I'll be honest with you, I don't even know how to verify if the hub has spun on...

    2002 5.3 Crank appears to wobble at idle

    I'll look at the 5.3 on my engine stand later on. If they have a rubber insulator, it is possible that the rubber is broken and distorting the pulley. It was common practice when assembling the old small/big blocks to verify that the rubber insulator didnt break. This would allow the pulley to...

    [Theoretical] What if we were to move away from the 4lXXe and how would we do it?

    Doesn't the 6L80E have a TCM? I am sure their is a company that makes an aftermarket TCM but it would still be a lot of money, time and fabrication.

    2002 5.3 Crank appears to wobble at idle

    I have never paid attention, do these balancers have a rubber insulator?

    Back to driving my 2000 Suburban after a bad crash. Pics

    Wow, glad you're okay... How fast were you going when this happened?!

    2002 Tahoe Z71

    I've been trying to time priming and painting the remaining 3 body mount cups and frame sections in between rain; it hasn't happened yet so I removed the motor. I originally tried taking it out the top but chickened out lifting it that high on my hoist so I ended up removing the radiator...
