  5. Need Help! Gm Trying To Make A Fool Of Me

    in General SS

    Posted

    Those GM plugs are spendy, they are platinum/Irideum i believe? I paid like 12.95 a peice for mine?

     

    Generally, Turbocoop, all 8 plugs will not go bad @ once. you will get a p0300 multiple cylinder misfire, as a few off them become to carboned up to fire. ( could be accelerated by bad gas, extended idiling, etc.)

     

    for the wipers, your "wiper module is bad". I have replaced dozen's, and thats what they do.

     

    Sorry to say, but I am pretty sure you wont get anything out of them.( you have the BURDEN of proof) you have to prove they did it.

     

    On the bright side: You got off cheap, next time you go, you will know exactley how to handle the situation, Express no repairs will be made with autherization, (industry standerd). do not except the deal if you are not satisfied. Cost most people alot more to learn that. I got out off the dealerworld, cause they treat customers bad, and employees worse! lol

  6. Through A Engine Code

    in General SS

    Posted

    The code is refering to , Incorrect voltage to your Injectors. (should be Batt. Voltage)

     

    Use your test light and probe the pink wire, w/ key on, see if it light's bright.

     

    second hook your test light between the pink and black wires and see if it light's w/the key on? u can use a paper clip to probe the connector, make sure YOU DONT SPREAD THE TERMINAL BY RAMMING IT IN, file down the end off paper clip if needed, to make it more narrow.

     

    Also Check EVERY fuse w/your test light. you never know what fuse is for what circuit, the lable on the fuse means nothing.

  7. Vortech Question

    in Forced Induction and Nitrous

    Posted

    The Tranny's in our trucks are the weakest links and when you start adding major power adders you will more then likely hurt them... Many have had good luck and lengevity out of their trannys with a few small mods, shift kit, servos, and a larger cooler, guess it just depends on how you drive and the way your truck feels but these are good mods even without a s/c: Me and some of the other SS guys just put a vortech on my truck a few weeks ago and I could see that if you've never done it before it could get pretty confusing, but I'm sure if you came out more this way out to socal you could find some guys to help you get it on... I would think your engine should be fine as long as you have a good tune and stay within a reasonable amount of boost... You'll also need a new fuel pump and bigger injectors...

     

    the kit come with the correct injectors and fuel pump.

  9. Thinking About An Aftermarket Stall.

    in AWD, Differential, & Transmission Tech

    Posted

    I have A 3K Stall, TCI street fighter.

     

    dont be scared to go 3K. After Zippy Tuned the tranny it was sweet,

     

    When You take off with light throttle, 1/4 or so, rpm will hit around 2k and hover there while you accelerate. But no harsh engagements.

     

    You will also shift throught the gears, wayyy quicker @ WOT :D , prolly shave a full sec. of your 1/4? not sure feels that way tho. :thumbs:

  10. Supercharged

    in Forced Induction and Nitrous

    Posted

    yeh, thats a pretty good deal.

     

    The Install on those suck. Vortechs directions are very confusing, you will need special tools,. I think you will spend 20 hrs on it your self if you are reasonably handy. especially your first one.

     

    Note: You may want to consider, "pinning your crank Pully". I didn't do that, and mine fell off, and it can ruin your crank!. Tho if it wern't for bad luck, I would have none at all.

    Why don't you call us and ask us to send you another one as a replacement? The quickest resolution is going to be, call and get another one, not post that nobody cares!

     

    PM me if I can help, if you got it figured out, great!

     

    appreciate the response :thumbs: . Yeh If It wasn't a big enough deal, to call and good it taken care off. prolly wasn't a big enough deal to post about it. I under estimated how many people these forum's access, and the negative effect it could take on a buisiness. For my end off this I appoligize, as you are correct, that I never called and gave you chance to correct it.

     

    Thank You, Danny

  19. Ss 345hp. Vs Hemi345hp?,

    in Street

    Posted

    :lol:

     

    I have never seen an entire vehicle forum so fixated on one engine from one truck from another manufacturer!

    You'll have to beat them ALL to keep them quiet!

    :lol:

     

    I think it is "DODGE" Fault. The Billions off doaller's they put into those, "Yeah, it's got a hemi" commercials.

     

    More people who know nothing about truck's, can Identifie w/ that phrase.

     

    Plus, "yeh, it can beat a TRITON" , does not have a good ring to it. and knowbody would know what ur talkin about. LOL :jester:

    that suck,

     

    I'll add fuel to this fire......

     

    A couple weeks ago, I bought a GM fan harness from Nelson, $80. bucks. I Installed it and my Fans were blowing Backwards!! they were pushing. :mad:

     

    My dumb @ss, didnt relize wich way they were blowing till I was Overheating my $10k engine on a road test!! :fume:

     

    So I cut the Harness and switched it. BTW~ the Fans were Take off's of an 05 Tahoe, so I am guessing they were right.

  23. Local E85 Promotion

    Posted · Edited by Riddler (see edit history)

    If it's anything like other grain related products, it will be cheaper here in Iowa anyway. So how about I sell you some for $3.50? :lol:

     

    I dont know, I live 15mi, from an oil refinary, I live in a state that pumps out 200,000 barrels of oil a day. And we still pay some off the highest gas prices in the country.

     

    We cant get ethanol in Alaska, yet :confused: . But I am Intrested, I could run Soo much boost!! :D . Glad to hear your MPG went up! .......You Loose performance.? guess not?

     

    Most people around here think Ethanol is a big joke. Dont know where they get there info.?

     

    I would rather pay the $5 for bread, then $5 gas. ( I can live without bread! ) LOL :jester:

  24. Idler / Pitman Arms

    in General SS

    Posted

    I dont think they ment the nut is Loose. :confused:

     

    When I say they are loose to a customer, I mean they are worn out...

     

    Jack up the front off your vehicle and support your lower a-arms on jack stands.

     

    Have a partner wiggle your front tire's while you watch your suspension, If you see the stud part of your Idler or pitman arm moving with the center link foward and backward, they are worn out..

     

    As for torque spec, I have a 1/2 drive titanium, w/a 21mm socket, and I let it hammer them down.. (Dont keep hammering after it is bottomed though, 3 good burst once it stopped moving should be plenty.

     

    Hope that help's
