  4. You Guys Want A Ramhammer. Lol

    in Off-Topic/General

    Posted

    quite impressive numbers from it, though....the tapered design actually increases air velocity if I remember correctly. I used to refer to it as a walrus penis.

     

    I used to own a Dodge Ram, and they have some very creative people that try things that most people are like..."that will never work". One of the first guys to pioneer this owns one of the fastest 4.7L dodge rams. The shape is also functional as the turns never slow down the airflow.

  6. Throttle Body Porting

    in Engine Tech And Modification

    Posted

    if youve got a dremel you can follow a how to on this site. i had never ported anything before and im very happy with how mine turned out. i followed the how to and i did NOT "half the shaft" i felt like removing the shaft was to risky as i didnt have another tb incase something got bent or damaged. i felt NO hp difference but there was a huge throttle response increase. also fyi after the porting the truck would rev higher rpms on start up however the computer quickly compensates and after a few start ups w/ the higher rpms it was "learned out". if you dont feel like tackling this by your self there are ported tbs coming up for sale all of the time for under $100 on this forum and pt.net. good luck

     

    I referenced the how-to on the site as well. Let me just say, holy shiat is it a lot of work. On start-up I have a different result, i idle lower around 700rpm. I also halved the shaft, too. I would say that not doing the step makes this job not worth it.

     

    I also modified the idle area of the TB and sloped it for less resistance....I did not feel much gain, but the truck does do better in the upper rpm's (seat of the pants).

  7. Whats The Dumbest Question Any Ones Asked About Your Truck

    I had one rice burner kid ask me what size motor I had I told him a 6.0, his reply was wow thats fast for a 6 cylinder. :freak: I just said yeap lmao

     

    +1.....

     

    And I also get the "nice SS clone, it looks real" because of the cloth interior and absence of bose...

     

    But the one that I get a lot...just like everyone else is....... "Does it have a HEMI?" I have yet to respond to any of them, I can't...it's impossible to when your trying not to just bust out laughing.

    Check all of your blower speeds to make sure they work......

     

    Will do, I just let it handle the speeds automatically...I am not even sure If it has a selection to go from low to high manually without looking (I know I know...I just like the fact that it controls the temps auto so much I haven't attempted to control it manually.

     

    Gasemall, I'll re-check the amp wiring again...as I have it ran through the grommet for the parking brake....I know it's not touching but I'll check it to be sure.I would have thought that the inline fuse would have blown if it was the power wire shorting out.

  9. Ss Silverado Mpg?

    in General SS

    Posted

    Maybe my SS is broke, haha....The highest MPG to date is 13.5 and that was all highway at 65 MPH. If I drive around town and mix highway...I get about 11.8, no I do get on her every now and then but no where near what I would like.

     

    Mods are CAI,True Dual Flowmasters, Ported and Modified TB, Zippy Tune, and 160* thermostat. If I saw 16 MPG in this truck I'd swear it was a miracle.

    All electrical functions work. The only new item installed is subs. I ran the power wire through the a new hole in the grommet with the parking brake line....and it looks perfect. I don't know, I was able to zero in the smell around the fuse area after taking the cover off but there was no heat, smoke, and all the fuses (i checked as i got tired of pulling) looked good.

     

    My wife was with me and she smelled it fairly strong after I had already driven about 15 miles...so i have no clue.

  11. What More Can I Do?

    in Bolt On Performance

    The TB coolant bypass will keep your intake temps more constant, however while you are at it you can port the stock TB, too. Take a dremmel and take some time...I have no clue if any real gains are made...and it's a lot of work. I also polishedup the blade and removed a portion of the rod that holds the blade in place.

     

    The only real difference I noticed, just fyi, was top end.....which should help you trap an overall higher speed.

     

    And Mr. P has a website.

    This is hard to look at. I have a question for you as this is the only SS i know of to do this. Did you ever find the source of the fire?

     

    I was driving my 05 SS the other day and it smelled like burning plastic....I checked every thing like 5 times. I don't see any source of melting etc. The best I could locate the smell was somewhere behind the dash..closer to the fuse area. I had also just started the truck for the first time in about 5 days....and ran the heat....eventually I just shrugged and wondered if it was coming from heating system.

  16. New Tires Ordered--not Much Info Available.

    in Rims and Rubber

    Posted

    Well after my PM from Mr. P....I ordered all 4. They aren't the S/T II....They are the S/T I's, which is fine by me as the tread pattern looks nicer. They are on and installed for 610.00 tax/mounted/balanced.

     

    They look great and ride very well so far...only about 125 miles on them, lol. I'll get some pics up after the middle of this week if time permits for guys who are unsure.

  20. New Tires Ordered--not Much Info Available.

    Wassup guys I just ordered 2 of four needed tires for the SS, Toyo Proxes S/T II in 305/50-20. There is not a lot of information available on them. They look like a nice tire.

     

    Any of guys have them and how did they do in the rain, dry, wet, and light snow? They will be mounted and balanced for $152.00 a piece, so I think I did okay. I was going yokohama parada spec-x's in the same size.....buuuut they were 186.00 a piece...I didn't really see the 136.00 extra for the set.
