  3. Sold the SS for an Oval

    in My New Truck

    Posted

    I almost kept the SS, too...but when they said 16K....I said it's yours!!! This new tune in this thing is absolutely great. I waited till my patrol car (2013 interceptor--basically SHO) had 15K on it. If it holds up to 15K miles of patrol use...the truck should hold up to 100K, lol. The trasmission is actually a pain in the arse....it's adaptive and if you don't get on it frequently it'll shifter slower than cold molasses lol.

     

    KC, the fx4 in the grey was calling me pretty hard but in the end I said...I can buy more mods sooner, lol. I wish ford started doing bumper wraps instead of painting them though. Rock chips will rust that way. I'm pretty happy w/ it so far.

    Ohhh snap, :ohmy: I knew it was going to be bad but c'mon guys, lol. I was having some severe issues putting a second car seat in the SS, so I needed an upgrade. After the tune is pretty snappy and amazingly torquey.

     

    Still need Fx heads and tails. The surround is also getting PTM. From she'll get a 2" level and some 33's in about a year. Turbos sound pretty cool, too. I was going to get a new Vortec...but the Ford was a good deal cheaper. Pulled her out the door for 23,900 after trade and no money down. And they threw in the Rhino liner for free.

     

    To be honest I think it's slightly faster now than the SS was. The SS was zippy tuned, ported TB, 2nd and 4 gear synchros, intake, true duals, and thermostat (I think 170*). I really miss the AWD though and the dual climate control....I should've sprung for that.

    Yeah yeah I know, but I got a killer deal. The SS has been gone for about 3 months....for this 2013 SuperCrew Ecoboost F-150. So far it's been tinted, plati-dipped front emblem, solo mach-x exhaust, blacked out side mirror markers, and now she's tuned, too.

    I wanted the FX4 but it was about 6K more and I didn't want it that bad, lol. It's a nice truck, E-locker, hill-descent,truck apps, my sync, a lot of options minus leather and PTM numbers.

  8. ABS light and !Brake light issue

    in Suspension & Brakes

    Posted

    Aight guys, hopefully this will help someone else with another solution. Sooooo Chevy has had this thing on and off for about 3 total weeks and to the sum of about 300.00 getting it diagnosed....and in 10 minutes of thinking really hard and about 3 days of searching with no answer I fixed the problem in about 15 minutes.

     

    When they replaced the cluster they knocked loose the connection at the scosche warning chime thingy-ma-bob. Checked all the connections and viola!!! no ABS and no !Brake lights....also no codes after about 15 miles of driving. Total communication with the OBDII. Thanks guys, I hope this might help someone in the future and also saved me 974.00 in parts and labor to replace perfectly fine ABS componets.

  9. ABS light and !Brake light issue

    in Suspension & Brakes

    Wasssup guys been a while.

     

    I've searched and came up with about 100 possible issues, haha. This is a run down on what happened and all help is appreciated.

     

    about 200 miles ago, the abs light started intermitently chiming and the cluster went bad (Speedometer was getting stuck). Then the !brake light would come on and then off under light braking, so I checked the fluid and everything was ok. Finally got Chevy to replace the cluster as truck has 55K miles (it's an 05 SS with intake, exhaust, tune, 180* thermostat, and bored Throttle Body).

     

    Chevy fixes the cluster and when they went to do the inspection on the truck there was no power to OBDII. All the parameters would pass, but were flipping between yes/no constantly and therefore failed to communicate with DMV. They said the ABS was bad. We finally got everything to communicate and the codes cleared---now DMV does not "Recognize the vehicle---they said that it was because it had an aftermarket tune. in 5 years there has been no issues. After driving today with the cleared codes...the same ABS !Brake lights have came back. They started chiming and would go off when I was completely idle with foot on the brake....after sitting at a stoplight they came on and now stay on again. Any idea where I should start looking??? ****Important when they checked for codes with the lights on, there were NO CODES*** I've also had the red battery flash at me a few times.

     

    I have an aftermarket radio with a Scosche warning chime connection thingy-ma-bob, that I think might be causing an issue as when key to "On" the chimes sound WEAK...and then intermitent.....so I'm wondering if since it communicates with EBCM, theres a short in it. Also is it possible there's a bad ground in the electrical system causing this???

     

    Thanks guys

  11. Throttle Body Coolant Mod

    in How To

    Posted

    I could've swore I got 20AWHP...all jokes aside, it's an easy FREE MOD that just keeps temperatures a little more constant, IMO. Never noticed any gains, but I am sure I didn't lose any either.

     

    I did this mod today. I'm hoping for at least 10 rwhp gain out of this :fingersx::laugh:

    All I did was just re-route the hose coming out of radiator. No extra material needed.

  17. Oil Pressure

    Under WOT, mine almost maxes out the gauge....whatever that is, it seems to max out higher with mobil 1 oil filters, if I use a puralator it doesn't get as high.

     

    should I be worried that it gets that high??? I figured it just means the engine is that tight...

    I'll give them this....they can ride, I just stand by the fact that if they weren't weaving around all the cars...I wouldn't say too much. But all the passing so close and cutting people off is seriously GAY.

    Grrr, if he's not dead he would be. NO offense guys, I am all for fun...but some of those stunts could have very well cost someone ELSE their lives....they wanna kill themselves do it......but I would 100% have beat the shit out of them. I would have needed another SilveradoSS door.
