Step 1 when doing electrical work: Disconnect the battery! Sounds pretty bad dude ... hope it gets better soon.

How's your incoming air? Clean filter? Clean MAF sensor? I usually check incoming air when I start to get short stumbles like that and it's usually something in the airbox, or the MAF is dirty ...

It does totally depend on the officer. Especially late summer/early fall when the academy lets out ... then you have a bunch of rookies out trying to make a name for themselves, and they'll stop you for using an aerosol can in a manner other than intended. I got nailed in NJ when I had my Z28 ... they fined me almost $150 for having black outs on my tails. I tried to fight it ... said I was out of state, didn't know NJ laws, etc. They didn't care. All they wanted was my money. bastards.

how is that working for you? Do you have an on board compressor, or do you fill w/ air on demand?

How'd you get burnt?

This is a real good question ... I too have debated whether or not to do a drop kit, and the one thing that I end up pondering is ... will it effect my payload capabilities? Just last week I had the bed full with an electric range and dining room table/chairs and hauled it to PA from NC ... the truck was about 1.5-2" lower than usual with that load ... I don't really want to sacrifice payload if I can help it ...

NICE roll pan ... BSER? Who shaved your 'gate?

bitch ... thanks!

Looks like the driver's door module and passenger door modules need to be reprogrammed ... info. below GM Vehicle Calibration Information - DDM Driver Door Module VIN: 1GCEK19B36Z272086 Controller: DDM Driver Door Module Mirror Type: Power Folding (DL3/DR4) Hardware: 15195317 Calibration History for: Operating system Part Number CVN Bulletin # Description 15883324 000009E2 - Corrects issue of courtesy lamp abnormally staying on - passenger side. 15251168 0000B97F - New software to address mirror positioning problem. 25770606 N/A - Operating system -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Calibration History for: Accessory Part Number CVN Bulletin # Description 15125152 N/A - Accessory -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Calibration History for: Interior Lighting Part Number CVN Bulletin # Description 15195315 N/A - New calibration for start of production 15173759 N/A - Interior Lighting -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GM Vehicle Calibration Information - PDM Passenger Door Module VIN: 1GCEK19B36Z272086 Controller: PDM Passenger Door Module Mirror Type: Base/Power Folding (DL8/5M1/DL3/DR4) Hardware: 15173761 Calibration History for: Operating system Part Number CVN Bulletin # Description 15257789 00007A97 - New software to address mirror positioning problem. 25770607 N/A - Operating system -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Calibration History for: Accessory Part Number CVN Bulletin # Description 15863463 00006835 - New Passenger Door Module calibrations to increase the TPM sensor tolerance from 1.2 to 2.0 psi. 25770609 N/A - Accessory -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Calibration History for: Interior Lighting Part Number CVN Bulletin # Description 15186221 00007863 - New calibration for start of production 15173759 N/A - Interior Lighting --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just watched the mercer fight ... you're right ... he did get a little quicker ...

Ok ... I THINK I understand how you're wired ... you've got a 4 channel amp bridged down to 2 channels. And it sounds like the amp is wired correctly for bridged output ... I believe the problem is the jumper you have on the subs. The way the subs are wired now, you're only powering them to half capacity. That's probably why they don't sound that good. DVC subs can be confusing ... I remember the first time I saw one ... I was like ... WTF??? The way you have the subs wired now is referred to as "in series". One + and one - wire going from one amp channel to the sub. To increase the power to them, you would have to wire them "parallel" ... or run 2 sets of wires from the one amp channel to the sub. This could be dangerous because ... if the sub's voice coils are 6 ohms each, to run them on one bridged channel, you need an amp that will survive at least a 3 ohm load. (Refer to my last post, 6 ohms/2 paths = 3 ohms) If your amp will only tolerate up to a 4 ohm load, you could blow your amp, and take out the subs with it. If you have info. on your amp ... it would help. Post the model again ... I googled the model# and found one amp that's good for 1000W and one that's good for 400W ... so, I dunno which one to look at ...

Don't recall if you ever got this straightened out ... and going back and reading it, I see where I typed it to sound confusing ... sorry ... let me try again ... Having a DVC sub is like having 2 subs in one. Lets use a mono amplifier as an example. It only has 1 channel. If that channel is rated 200 Watts at 4 ohms, then 200 watts is the potential that the amp can put out through 1 path (1 speaker). If the amp is stable to 2 ohms resistance, you can effectively double your power output of the amplifier by connecting 2 4-ohm subs (wired parallel, not in series), or a 1 DVC sub. The reason that the power output doubles is because there's 2 paths for the current to follow, each 4 ohms, and the amplifier doubles current output (Watts) as if there was only 2 ohms of resistance. Think of it like a water tower ... the amount of water stored is the tower's "potential", waiting to be released to the ground. If you have water moving through a 4-inch pipe, only a certain volume will flow to ground. If you connect another 4" pipe to the tank, a higher volume of water will flow ... but the resistance of each pipe (4 inch) remains the same. I think where I typed it confusing was when I tried to explain how you get current flow equivalent to a 1 ohm load by doubling the paths that current could flow through ... (I think I was drunk that night ... note to self: don't post until the room stops spinning ... ... sorry ) So ... if your single channel amp has a power rating of 400 Watts @ 4 ohms, and you provide 2 paths for current to flow (2 single voice coil subs or 1 dual voice coil) you're tricking the amp into thinking there's only 2 ohms of resistance. (4 ohms/2 paths = 2 ohms) If you do this, you've doubled the current flow from 400 Watts to 800 Watts. (400 Watts x 2 paths = 800 Watts) Using a DVC sub in this example is better because all 800 Watts go to 1 sub. Using 2 single voice coil subs, the 800 Watts is split between 2 subs.

I've seen most of his internet fights ... a beast he is indeed. I imagine that he'd be even more dangerous if he could get a little quicker on his feet ...

Surprised he didn't do the Q-Tip ...

Finally a member of the 1000 post club ... Now ... I just got work on getting into the mile-high club ...

Bad boys, Bad boys ... whatcha gonna do ...

I understood it ... but never have seen it. Those are some nice pics ... pretty cool

I dunno about the rest of you guys ... but when I talk and drive, the conversation is priority #2 ... especially when driving in the city. I've been in a few conversations where I asked someone to hold on or let me call them back because traffic was getting out of control. I hope no bans come to the east coast. I work via. my phone. Can't afford to have it off anytime ...

Shaking usually means misfiring.

Especially riding a bike ... I don't ride but I've had many people who do tell me that the street is no place for racing ... obstacles in or on the road, pavement conditions, etc. Racing is for the track ... Best wishes to a safe recovery for them. Hope they're doing well.

I see your nuts ...
