  1. yes, thats usually what happens to exposed metal.
  2. Sold my truck so the sts turbo kit is for sale, might consider shipping but would prefer local sale, heres the add http://anchorage.craigslist.org/pts/1678418977.html I was told it could go up to 10 or 11 lbs of boost, on a stock motor? Sts told me this turbo could do 500-600hp, but on a big block or v10 could do much better. I dont know much more about this kit, would trade for equal value dodge diesel performance parts( i know slim chance on this site) but cash is king.
  3. yet another rig with those fender vents, i hope his arent stick ons?
  4. with the 26 inch rims, im guessing he is an Obama voter, so im wondering why the drug dealer didnt paint it maroon?
  5. mine looks close to your truck, cyriusmuscle, but i think my rear is lower? Mine also rubs the inner fender wells,mostly in reverse, but im gonna pull my inner fender wells and do some reconfiguration on the inner fenders, and i think with this size tire, 4.56s would better suit this torque lacking motor?
  6. hmm, a quad cab hemi smoked my ss up to 55 mph by a truck lenght and was pulling on me, im gonna blame it on my cats, I wont even comment what a tuned cummins will do against this taco wagon.
  7. Paint them, thats what the factory does, so thats what i did, but I painted mine white with single stage.
  8. is the t70 for these small blocks or is it for the v10s or big blocks?
  9. Well with the taller tires and cut front bump stops i have about 100% improvement in handling, the ride is still about the same, maybe better? But i think im still on stock shocks. IF i have to buy new front bump stops, its not the end of the world. Im not racist, i hate all equally, especially since im a bit of eveything.
  10. well i did hack 1/2 of my front bump stops off since there were touching, and i think it sits lower in the front but its hard to tell with the taller tires. White rims are the shizz, i think i might have started a new trend, step aside black rockstars. White is the new black.
  11. well heck bigcountry, you were close, the measure at just above 32 inches, i mounted and balanced them my self and is the best mod i have done yet, they slightly rub turning in reverse, but nothing i cant live with, So i am told i have at least 2 inches drop, ill post pics soon and see what you guys think. New edit, the side wall height increase is what these trucks needs, stock or lowered, I always thaught this truck looked like a cheap azz can tried to lower it with just tires, but go figure they were stock size tires. Its kinda like when someone puts 35 inch tires on a stock truck, and it looks like a truck tuckin 35s? well i guess im tuckins 32-33s now, and i gained ground clearance and my speedo will read slower/better for resale. Everyone i talked to tried to talk me out of this tire size and rim color. But im glad i didnt listen.
  12. These trucks are worse than diesel trucks to keep up and running happy, i have never had to take a truck to the dealer ship to fix until i got my taco wagon ss. Yes all the problems brought up are for real, cats, trans, t-case, maf,injectors, piston knock etc, i also got power steering leaks at 40k miles and other issues, i havent delt with the front axle issue but im gonna check out the front end, maybe thats why my truck wont stay on the road?, probably not?
  13. 116k miles on any vehicle is a boat load, you get what you pay for.
  14. My buddy says i have a front spindle drop, thats all i really know. But since my tires where shot, i was gonna replace them and then have an alignment shop check out the suspension, my rims are being coated and and i have either, stock size(275/55r20s or 275/60r20s) to replace with. So thats what im goin wiht right now. No way is a 275/60r20 a 33 inch tire, this is the stock dodge 1500 tire size, i got 33s on my other truck and these are much smaller.
  15. Any good paint shop can do that to your factory lights.
  16. he was a real Can, he was from California.
  17. Hankook Ventus St's are the cheapest tire you can buy, and they are a joke, why only spend $500-600 on tires on your $40k truck? The cheap azz mexican i bought my truck from ran the Ventus St's too, so if your a cheapo ass can, then yes they are for you. I got rid of them crap tires and now im on jack stands, so thats what i think of them tires, i would rather not drive.
  18. Im looking for a little more cush in the tire department so im thinking of running 60 series tires instead of the 55s, my truck is lower 2 inches and is an AWD, Anyone run this setup? My truck is lowered and is the worst handling and ruffest riding truck i have ever owned, so im hopping this will help. Its funny my two 2500 dodges are more pleasant to drive.
  19. Are you looking for a 1990 SS truck or a 2003 SS truck, if you want a clean one good luck on either model for that price, better off just doing a clown clone job on a 2wd.
  20. i think its a recall, I have been trying to get the local clowns here in Anchorage to replace mine for the last 6 months, yet another reason why i do my own work. They tell me every time i go in that they will fix it and i never here from them?
  21. So it looks like you got ride of the hockey sticks? So is this stock intake setup a problem with sts intercooled turbo kits with 10 lbs of boost?
  22. I was doing a buck 5 to see my top speed limit, dont worry it was on an enclosed course and flat ground, is that normal for these Essay SS's, i figured these Can haulers would do better?
  23. In Anchorage, Alaska all i have seen is 90 octane at the pump, so thats what iv been running with good to ok results. My truck is all stock with a crappy k&n filter and gibson exhaust. Is octane booster worth a damn to add>? What about leaded 110 octane? Is it worth mixing?
  24. I would get an 06 duramax if you want 650 hp, much better everything in the drive line for that hp. But what do i know, my 94 cummins smokes my 04 ss.
  25. My cats are junk, i got a brand new set just needing to be installed. Warranty repair but Alaska Sale and Service(in Anchorage, Alaska) doesnt have any mechanics that can weld so they just gave me the cats to install myself. WHat a joke for a service company, especially a warranty repair. Im thinking of not even returning the cores when i do replace them. Im really losing interest in Chevy all together after this. My 1st chevy i drove 100k(92.350), my 2nd i drove 10k(2001.5.3) about as worthless as the 04, this truck my 3rd chevy(2004.6.0) less than 5k miles and im wondering why i even bothered trying chevy again. Looks like my 94 cummins will be my daily driver this winter, i dont have to worry about any ses lights on it, plus it smokes my ss. Did i mention i have a SS for sale.
