  3. Starter life?

    in Engine Tech And Modification

    Posted

    Mine the starter was actually fine it was the  starter solenoid mounted on the side brittle is an understatement tried unbolting the wires and it broke into pieces mind you it let go in a CVS parking lot had to swap it out in a busy parking lot on the ground bought a new starter and a cheap socket set and a half hour of work and I was good to good.

    I stopped liking their pickups with there 2007-2013 body styles it looked so boring with flat panel body lines down the sides I loved the 2014-2018 body styles and now I hate these new body styles and the Stupid tailgate that is the main selling point that has to cost thousands if ever has to be replaced I’m all set who the hell even needs all that crap in a simple tailgate just more things to break and cost the buyer a ton of money I can see those being a hot item for the meatheads stealing them and selling them imagine that even on the black market at half price that would still cost a fortune.   

  8. SSS Is Not A Truck

    Its got the power not so much the transmission itll hold up for some time but its a 1500 and not so much the frame to a point itll hold up but its a 1500 so it has its limits and the suspension is mainly setup to drive as a daily without anything in it being its a Sport Truck I tow 2 Snowmobiles up north for a 5 hour ride and that is perfect Ive towed a 1971 Chevy 3/4ton pickup on a car trailer once and it was definitely a little over the trucks capabilities I wouldnt do it all the time but 1 day trip to get something sure if I was gonna do it weekly Id definitely look into something in the 2500 3500 area.

  10. Rear sway bar

    That wont work for folks with custom dual exhausts.....

    yeah I have had dual exhaust but it was before the bar so I cannot confirm that will work with your setup but people here claimed they wouldnt work with a Corsa Exhaust and mine worked fine without modifying anything and some bars dont work with the rearend covers and these Oem Escalade Esv bars work depending how cheap you can source the bar you could easily spend around $100 or less if your dual exhaust is mounted high these bars might still work

  12. Need to replace transfer case

    in AWD, Differential, & Transmission Tech

    Posted · Edited by Aldofashow (see edit history)

    yeah the dealership transfer case was rebuilt not new wish they told me that I wouldve done the rebuild first cause I was expecting to get a new one and these are pretty easy to swap out in the driveway with a couple of ramps drain it and remove the Driveshafts and its only 6 bolts holding it on definitely worth trying if youre trying to save money.

     

    When I went through it again I also upgraded to a hd rear case along with a MA pump plate had driveshaft problems that caused the rear bushing and bearings to wear out enough to allow the speed sensor to rub the shaft.

  17. How bulletproof are they?

    Im a little over 200,000 miles now Ive always done oil changes on time runs great but I feel when Im doing wide open pulls nowadays that my head gasket might let some coolant push past the gasket cause my engine light flashes only at full operating temp never when its warming up still I dont have cats and I notice coolant missing after awhile of driving Im swapping motors soon Ill know more when I break it open and Ill say Ive been driving this thing hard since 2006 the thing is unstoppable and no engine work ever just oil changes and knock sensors still factory sealed engine
