    Want To Do An Oil Change Any Suggestions?

    Go with something designed for high mileage. But if you have the dough then go with Synthetic.

    Grille?

    Yeah you can swap the front clip from a Kon or Esky. But a straight grille swap? negative.

    transmission issues

    Hmmm, the loud thud could be U-joints, but not going into gear wouldn't be. Maybe leave it in neutral and park, then next time you start it up cold see if it does it?

    Fuel Capacity?

    Exact number is 29.5 U.S. Gallons. I never really let her get below 4-5 gallons so I can never get more than 25ish gallons in, except once when I ran her out of gas... haha.

    exhaust

    I think your exhaust looks good now, but if you don't want something that everyone else has and isn't played out then you could do side exhaust that dumps before the wheels, like on a viper. :headbang:

    who can help me with my corvette tpi

    Maybe a vaccum leak? Idk if this helps but my Tahoe would idle like crap and sounds like how you said if it had a nasty cam, but from like 2.5k and up you couldn't even tell there was a problem. Vaccum line on the PCV valve was f'ed, fixed that and now she's fine. Check for leaks I say.

    Like everyone said, that's a killer deal. That color isnt for me, but you might find it hard to change it since it is so rare. What are your plans as far as mods?

    where does seafoam go

    On the OBS you can do either the PCV valve line or the brake booster vac line. I have done both lines before, but some say on the 5.7 Vortecs those lines only go to two cylinders, so the way to get the full treatment is put the whole bottle in the gasoline. Personally, I have done some in the...

    Full exhaust!!

    You are correct by saying Turbo'd engines "run" on back pressure to spool the Turbocharger. However, Sufficient back pressure is still needed in a Naturally Aspirated engine. The 2.5 diameter piping is what is optimal for the small block engines that are stock or close to stock. With 3" and...

    Anyone own a Deisel Suburban?

    My boss has one, and my buddy has one, they are both the 6.5 turbo. My boss bought his for $1900, and it's kind of a p.o.s. it has starting problems and is beat to hell. My buddy's is still in pretty good shape, he likes it alot.

    Thanks to the forum and members!!!!!

    I am doing some shorty's as well. From what I hear from guys on here, I ended up going with some Edelbrocks w/ceramic coating. Be very careful when backing out the bolts for the stock manifolds, If they break your gonna have to take the heads off.

    WTF is wrong with people?

    +1 on that. This isn't about a car but it's related. I mowed lawns in high school, I knew this one guy who was in his late 40's, a pretty successful lawyer, good overall guy, good hunter, good common sense, etc. But when it came to handy work or anything like that he'd rather pay someone to do...

    Feels like a misfire

    It is not useless through the vac, it does clean those two cylinders. I did it today and I had lots of smoke. Putting it in the gasoline won't smoke.
