This won’t mean much to most of you. Just a point of interest.
Finally found the perfect tuner. Guy by the name of Jim Hall. He has a company known as TPIS in Chaska MN. They have the “Eddy current” dyno that bolts to the rear axles.
They can simulate any road condition at any speed...
So how much horsepower is being consumed by your alternator?
Most people think electricity is free. Here is a formula to allow you to figure out how much power is being sapped by your zillion amp stereo and your electric radiator fan, and don’t forget the multiple batteries………………..
How...
My Perma-Cool electric fan’s took a dump. I lost track of the exact time, but I think they are about five or six years old.
Looked for replacement motors and found a new Flex-a-lite system, is the same price as two motors for the old system. They also stopped making Perma Cool systems a...
Update on the 4L80e, leaking torque converter seal…
After discovering the cracked flywheel and grooves worn in the TC collar, had caused the seal to leak. My trans tech, needed to know why. He found the trans case itself was distorted by 35 thousands. That caused the stator spline to wear...
Here is something you guys might find interesting. I dropped the 4L80e today to replace the front seal. It had started leaving some spots on the driveway.
Turns out the flexplate was cracked all around the bolts holding it to the crank. That had caused it to run slightly off center...
Anyone looking for a TCU (transmission control unit)?
This control runs circles around any shift kit on the market.
I spotted a (new in box) unit on ebay. Search under “TCI TCU”
It’s the complete kit.
I have been using these controllers for years. It can do either the 4L60e or...
There seem to be a lot of guys running lower temp stats here. I’m not sure what the reason would be in the winter, but I would like to point out that oil does not lubricate as well at lower temperatures.
I once bought a new chev pickup truck that came from the factory with a piece of...
I went to Auto Zone today, bought a oil filter and five quart container of oil, for an oil change. After changing the filter and draining the oil, I started poring the “new” oil in and noticed it was black. I instantly stopped and put some of it into a glass to look at it. Instead of being a...
Carb or Throttle Body Hat
Thought I would mention this Carb hat on ebay. A chance to save a hundred bucks for anyone interested in improving the air path from your K&N. :)

Just picked up a new 4 x 4, to deal with the Minnesota winter.
The 95 Tahoe is going in storage for the winter.
This is a little lower to the ground, but the all wheel drive should do the trick.
Anyone have any experience with these cars? What do you think? :)
I saw the FAST add in this month’s issue of Hot Rod. This looks like the break through for changing to F/I from Carbs, or even upgrading from older F/I systems.
Bolt the system on, plug and play electrical hookup’s and the computer program’s itself. Might be an option for some of these...
Just wondering if anyone here knows anything about Factory Five cars? Hot Rod Magazine has a article this month on the new, 33 Ford Street Rod. Any builders here?

A while ago, someone was looking for some all weather floor mats.
These guys make the ultimate floor mat or liner. They are like ABS floor pans that overlap the door sill. I have used them on all of my Tahoes and Suburbans for years.
They are expensive, but you only buy them once...
Just out of curiosity?
What specifically is done on the jenna bear mods to the ECM. Are we talking modifiying the timeing tables and injectors tables? What about knock sensor tables etc? Are the rev limiters changed and the AFR tables?
Does it have to be OBD2 or are there applications...
Anyone here using multiple fuel pumps. If so, what brand and model fuel pumps and what size lines are you using from the tank? Also curious about the brand and model of regulator and if the hook up is parallel or serial?:cool:
