    Thinking about buying a used 13' Cadillac

    all that said, and it helps if you can do at least some of the smaller jobs yourself. there's just something about these trucks, they cover miles and make road trips more effortless than most vehicles I've driven. I don't tow much and only smaller stuff, but the guys seem to have good luck...

    Thinking about buying a used 13' Cadillac

    so I don't mean for this to talk you out of buying it. but just stuff I would have liked to have known before buying mine. well, OK I mostly knew but bought it anyways haha. which you very well might too. so afm. it's a mechanical failure of the lifters, but there's 3 different reasons they...

    Thinking about buying a used 13' Cadillac

    From what I'm hearing and seeing from friends in the used car industry. the bottom is about the fall out of used car prices.. I don't know a time frame for shit happening, all I hear is it's currently starting and will get much worse. expecting to see a lot of dodge dealership especially...

    that's good stuff, I've always wanted to check out the race week stuff, we used to spend some time out in the co mountains but haven't gotten back in years. I don't remember fuel options being that bad thou, wow. I feel like 91 is the worse i have paid attention to. that's gotta be hard to make...

    Finally Installed K&N CAI in 6.2

    huh.. vararam intake does have a big name in corvette worlds as the only working ram air setup even if most. people feel the quality of the build isn't up to the price but it does make the hp others don'ts.. the truck one looks the part if it's getting high pressure air straight from the front end.

    torque amp, charge while braking only? hmm. there is a whole forum devoted to electric boost. fastest guy runs 9s in a Ltd I believe it is.

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    huh. I guess I just expected it to read current at all times. mine being overly complicated BS shows the current of everything all the time haha. oh well, external clamp it is.

    08 denali awd wont move, diff fluid on the driveway

    not really sure how to explain it. but in a rwd car with a open diff, if you spin one tire one way, the other side spins backward when it park. to technically if you lifted one tire off the ground, even in park you could roll the truck away. the awd has that same rear diff but also a center...

    ahh 91 you must be up high, I've only read about the thin air issues. how's the vortec do for intake Temps up there at 9 lbs. grew up in the sea level life where 8lbs of a s trim didn't even need an intercooler. on a side note, I get that boost is restriction to flow, but say you took the...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    that does sound like a lot. if I had to guess you had that 160 maxed out. I have seen right at 100amp in my car testing it and it doesn't have anything like that much to turn on. I'd love to know what the ecm was saying the amp draw was at that time. sounds like you got a good one on there and...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I totally get bringing a spare in long trips, especially if you have one that works. usually electrical stuff lasts longer the less it's pushed to its max ratings. especially with your camper the 220amp alt would seem to he a logical swap

    Supercharging

    wow I'm surprised it had heat issues at 6 psi. but I guess the 6.2 needs 93 fuel stock, I wouldn't take much to rattle one. interesting. I could see warning lower compression.

    could this be loose fly wheel or converter bolts

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    the step is they put it on a test stand, spin it up and see if it charges. since he doesn't wait till it breaks, they won't replace it on a time basis. they only replace broken ones. these days on most cars/trucks the alternator is considered a life of the car unit. I remember when they failed...

    Yet another Yukon with engine tick and low oil pressure

    it's the craziest thing.. it doesn't sound like valve train to me either, but I've never heard anything knock like that when cold and go away. any time I've been around bottom end stuff, like main or rod bearings they all get much worse than hot.. can almost sound OK when still cold on thick...

    14 LTZ Shutter/shake/ vibration under light throttle

    might be a good idea to get the 4 cyl mode turned off as soon as you can. I doesn't keep it from eating lifters but as far as I've seen, it doesn't hurt and you'll need it turned off anyways when you go full delete

    upgrade to the newer 220amp unit. you can get them off low mileage take offs on ebay for under 200$ and a direct bolt on unless you wanna be a bit extra. all the numbers to look for arw on iamdub built thread.

    Engine knock and don’t know what it could be

    that's good news. I saw the valve mark in the piston, looks like it had been hit repeatedly and figured it was jammed back up in the head. I broke a cranks once, not an ls. but right behind the timing chain gear on the snout. (super charger and to tight a belt) at high rpm. so the pistons...

    I feel like a terrible maintenance mechanic lol. I do tranny and brakes, switch to dot 4 in anything I'm going to drive hard. but besides my c6 that gets the power steering worked very hard since adding the angle kit. byond that, I never thought it was a thing haha.
