  1. Power Issue NO POWER WHAT SO EVER

    in Radio/Electronics/Security

    Posted

    So I parked my truck for about a week and a 1/2. Went to get in it and drive and nothing. No Chime, No lights, Nothing!

     

    So naturally i thought bad batt. Batt is good had it checked.

    Terminals are clean its a new Red Top.

    Connections are good just did Big 3 couple of months ago. also checked all of the grounds on the big 3 just to make sure.

    Fuses are good, did a relay swap and that didn't do anything.

     

    I am now completely stumped.

     

    Any advise?

    Just did headers and exhaust on my 05. did a ton of research and ended up doing dynamaxxx 1 7/8 LTs into Borla Hi Flo Cats 3" into Borla Muffs single in single out duals in front of passenger side tire.

     

    Got a deal on the Borla components wasn't really about the brand. Cheaper than a Corsa Sport. Sounds cool little different than most.

     

    If i could do it over i woulda went dumped with a dual in dual or single out muff.

     

    Cant tell you on gains cause i did a lot of stuff at once. heads, cam, 160 stat etc…

     

    tune is a must. wish i had a sound chip but I'm still working on her. pics and clips to come.

     

    Good Luck with your build!! keep us posted.

  10. Loosing power after upgrades

    in Engine Tech And Modification

    Posted

    Yea thats from a straight launch at full throttle.

    Its not shifting to 4th when i run it hard. regular driving it goes through the gears but still acts funny sometimes.

    Local guy in El Paso. He's got a pretty legit shop does some good stuff but Ive had nothing but bad luck with my build. Trans had to be rebuilt twice. So naturally i figured that was the problem also thought it might be the tune as well. He said he drove it several times and "it drives nice and has some good power"

    Big Bear Performance is coming to Houston which is a hike but i think it might be worth it. Either that or zippy.

    Put down 405 on the dyno, doesn't matter much if it aint hittin right tho.

    Still think i need to take a better look at the trans.

    Going to get the contact info of the trans builder and go straight to him, which i shoulda done in the first place. lesson learned.

     

    oh yea and they scuffed the crap outta my bumper, he's making that right tho.

     

    btw i really appreciate the help bro!

  11. Loosing power after upgrades

    So after doing some test runs today...

     

    shifts 1-2 at about 5500 rpm

    2-3 same about 5500

    then it drops to 2500 rpm

    it climbs to around 3k and pretty much holds there

     

    when I'm driving it regular it continues shifting but when i get on it this is what it does.

     

    As I mentioned the guy who did my heads/ cam outsourced the trans. So I'm not 100% sure what all he did. He's supposed to be getting me the info.

     

    my guess is either the cam and stall aren't the best set up or the tune is off.

     

    the cam is a 231/234 torquer v4 which is not on the extensive write up zippy did on here.

    So I finally got to do some mods to my SSS after years and this was the outcome...

     

    2005 SSS

     

    MODS include

     

    Precision Race Components Heads from TX Speed

    Torquer v4 Comp Cam

    DBL Roller Timing Chain

    HV Oil Pump

    new plugs and wires

    160 thermo

    k&n CAI

    custom tune

     

    4l60 Trans Rebuild

    3200 stall

    shift kit

     

    Dynamaxxx LT Headers

    Borla HF Cats

    Borla Muffs

    xpipe

     

    So heres the problem truck makes good power until it shifts from 3-4 gear and it just drops off. The dyno looked good as far as I saw. I had a shop do the build he out sourced the trans which i did not like but he assured me it would be good. The shop i took my truck to is pretty good so i trusted them. After driving it and researching the last few days I think it may be the servos in the trans.

     

    Any help would be much appreciated!

     

     

  17. Black Rims On A Blue Truck

    in Rims and Rubber

    Posted

    WOW Thats freakin ugly, They need shot!! Not only is the size horrible the rims sux as well. Id rather have stock any day.

    The black & blue concept could be cool if you balance it out. black grille, emblems, ducts, tint etc. Not to much just enough to make it flow.

     

    I found this blue SS on a rim website I think the name is on the pic

    Yea just buy one complete its pretty easy and straight forward install you will have to remove your seats first in order to get the center console in then put seats back...do you have a center jump seat?? Reason I ask is because you'll need the center console glove box as well if yours came with a center jump seat...

     

    Yeah I was planning on gettin the whole piece. Thanks for the info bro. Ill make sure to hit ya up if I got any problems. Haha. Now to find a cc for sale.

    So it would I be able to put one in mine if it came without one?

     

    Mine came with the center console and my dumb ass took it out to bypass the factory bose amp when I installed my sound system. I recommend that nobody ever attempt to disassemble theirs, it was the biggest pain in the ass ever. I couldn't get it to line up right for an eternity
