DAVECS2

I have seen that badboy in person. I thought it was much more tastful than the Orange County bike. It atleast did not destroy itself in 20 minutes.

So I have a QS SD which runs a D60 in the rear. I upgraded from the Traclok to a Detroit True Trac. It was definetly a nice piece weighed twice what the stocker did. Lots of metal! It is a good diff. Was it worth the 800 dollar upgrade (bearings and all) I am not completely convinced. They say queit operation, but upon start up when it is could you can hear the helicals faintly rattling around. Once it is warm this goes away. On long sweeping corners there can be some slight vibrations. I figure when it is on the verge of lock up this happens. On tight turn (QS Turns) it was giving a faint chirp, but that seems to have subsidded. Control in the snow in rain is a little better and noticeable, but not 800 dollars better. Mind you my truck is Supercharged so it is getting a work out and traction counts. I never really had any traction or control problems to start with though. It is known amoung many SD QS owners that the rear ends can be noisy. I unfortunatel had one of these trucks for about 90K before I switched to the Truc Trac. Only reason I decided to do it was because I had a tune on the transmission that ended up roasting the pinion bearing and seal. It looks like a couple other bearing wer on ther way also. I am not sure GM set it up the greatest. As for the front, there are not any options I know of for the 8.25. I have heard of some limited slips available from Yukon for the 9.25 that came in 3/4 ton trucks

Is there a reason it is mounted on there 90 degrees to the bracket?

I can give you my intake piping. No big deal if you do not want to split it up though.

How much for the meth kit. Ill ask around here locally, Many of my buddies have been jonesn for an SC since I put mine on.

Man I just found this thread. That is incredible! My truck needs a make over :-)

You cannot switch the fron diff off on the AWD. It will burn up the viscuous coupling in the diff. The transfer case needs to be loaded front and back evenly. If you mark the pinion in relationship to the case and then do the same with one of the hubs, you can rotate the pinion until the hub makes one complete revolution. Count the number of revolutions the pinion makes in reference to your mark and that will tell you the gear ratio of the diff you have.

No some 4x4s came with 4.10s Just use some tape and you can figure out what it has in it.

That connection looks like what engages the 4WD on a 4X4. I would check the gear ratio. You can pull your axle tube off and put it on the replacement diff. Otherwise you just need to make sure that the diff is always engaged. I am not sure if that mean the solenois is on or off.

Gingerman would be the closest for me. This will be good since I am going to be racing my trailor vehicle. So it needs to be under it own power there and on the way back.

Hey I am up for it. I would be running an SD if that is alright. Every one can watch in amazment as my rear wheels steer and burn out at the sametime.

Yea I thought I would pipe up. I put my Radix on a while back, and the best week of owning my truck ended with a goofy shifting trans. After teardown, inspection showed a cracked planetary shell, roasted clutches and steels, and some nasty fluid. 2800 dollars later and one very not happy wife I was back on the road, but that was quite an investment to make after buying a supercharger. I think a beefed up trans should last a while, as long as you don't give too many "check this out" rides to your friends.

We have had several problems with this over at the Denali site. The truck drives fine but when they get in inclement weather they realize that the viscuos coupling is not transmitting full power to the fronts when need be. I would not dyno on a two wheel dyno. In fact I have not and I have a blower and a host of other mods.

You all have many more posts then I do so I won't pretend I know more than the rest of the world, and will assume you have some experience with pumping up these trucks. I just wanted to throw out there that you should keep some money in the pot for transmission work. I do not think I have seen a good Blower install not merit a transmission at somepoint in time. You may be able to stave of a trans rebuild for a while with a good quality servo.

Well I suppose if you want to be technical about it The only thing GTA about it any more is the drive shaft, sheet metal, and glass. Some poor off shore racing boat is missing its intake.

Would 400 plus shipping be out of line? They have Bridgestone Duelers on them now, but they are almost shot.

I have set of Denali take offs I would trade for a transfer case or front differential.

Who did you talk too at Magnacharger. I got mine for around $40 dollars. You need to talk to Dave. There is a thread on here with his full name and contact info. I was thinking about making a custom tube for mine, I bought the material, but I have not got around to it yet.

I definetly did not charge enough! It was for free. He is my Brother in Law after all. I have ssen some of your stuff around the site, from what I have seen it looks like you do outstanding work. I am getting old and slow in my old age. I aslo had to trace things out on his truck since I have not tapped into a 2000 yet, and do not have a schematic. Grabbed a couple pin outs of the net, that got me from point a to point b. I have been engineering electrical systems for 15 years, I have not been so hands on as of the last couple years due to a kid an laziness. That is going to be a slick ride. With the money your putting into that, you may wanna look into the new system Littlefuse is offering, to control the electrical system.

Hey Zippy are you still going to be able to help me out??

I have the complete list if you want to compare:-)

http://www.denalitrucks.com/forum/viewtopi...&highlight= This is what I put in, and I am EXTREMELY happy. It sounds awsome, it integrated with my truck 100%, and now my phone is handsfree. I can even stream the music from my phone over the bluetooth connection. I do this when the wife steals the Ipod. I maybe have 450 wrapped up in the whole thing. I am suprised at how well the Bose speakers work when not hampered by the OEM equalization.

http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.a...mp;autoview=sku I have used these on several conversions I have not had any problems. The price is not the bad either.

I just put a Valet 561T in my BIWs truck this past weekend. I thought I had a bunch of wiring. You got me beat! Just a tip. I scavanged the relay bank out of an old Bonneville in the junkyard. They have 12 sealed highpowered relay on the firewall. It took me 8 hours. He couldn't believe how long I was taking. He asked me how long it took to build harnesses for my cars and I said a while. I let him do the neutral bypass switch. He used the blue no heat shrinkable butt splices. His splices did not even survive routing the harness back up under the dash. When I am done my harnesses can double for rock climbing rope:-) It just takes a while.
