  1. Thanks for all the help. I did order a new pump from summit. I ordered the more expensive one as the original pump which was the same one on the ford was on backorder also ordered a new serpentine belt which another person posted a problem with and I had no clue as to what belt but thanks again for this site and its members I will be back in business again. Best site on the web......

  2. and if you are dead set on using the stock lighning pump here it is at summit...

     

    stock pump

     

     

    Yep thats it, Thats what came off of my truck. It lasted 5yrs. Not too shabby. I appreciate all the help. I could not find any locally at the parts stores. It looks like the upgrade pump does not come complete so you have to spend more to get the correct fittings. I dont know if it would last any longer but those fittings are pretty pricey.

  3. I decided to change out my themostat last nite , It had an 86c in it. I think it converts to 186f and my temp gauge was always on 205. Put in the 160 and it was running 180 on the gauge. I decided to change the fluid in the intercooler and discovered the pump is locked up. p/n 31-12-00-0187. Anybody got a clue as where I can get an intercooler pump for my magnuson supercharger. Has manufactured by Reyes(I think that is the name of the manufacture) Its kind of hard to read.

  4. A man came home after a hard days work and went to the kitchen cabinet for a glass and found 3 eggs and and a twenty stuffed into a bowl. He asked his wife

     

    about the three eggs and she replied well thats the number of times I have been unfaithful. He thought a minute to himself and said well we have been married

     

    ten years thats not so bad. Then she replied and every time I got a dozen I sold them for 50 cents .

  5. A man driving a late model caddy saw a woman walking her poodle and he asked if she would want a ride which she accepted. He then said the poodle could ride

    In the back . She said ' No he preferes to be outside and will just run along the side of the car' At about 30mph the gentleman asked 'Wheres your little dog?

     

    She replied ' he is running right beside the car' He sped up to 50mph and again he asked ' Wheres your little dog ?' and again she replied ' Running right beside

     

    the car' This time he sped up to 90mph and he then ased ' Now where is your little dog ?' and again she replied ' He is running right beside the car " He slammed on

     

    the brakes and looked over and saw the little poodle and asked ' Whats the red ring around his neck ?' to which she replied "Thats his a**hole he is not use to

     

    stopping that quick'

  6. A woman called a plummer to her home to work on the toliet. As he was opening his tool bag the womans young son walked into the bathroom to see what the plummer was doing. He pulled out a wrench and the young man replied 'My dad has two of those" to which the plummer replied ' Is that right" . He next pulled out a screw driver and you guessed it . The little boy said my dad has two of those too . The plummer then had to use the bathroom and as he pulled out his business he replied ' I guess your dad has two of these also' The little boy replied 'Matter of fact he does' He's got one that size he uses to pee thru and one twice that long he chases mom with "

  7. I have headers,no cats and an 18inch pop off of a magnaflow .one in and two out. Bought off ebay for 40 and is ss. Called a thunderbolt. I love it. Had two pop off flowmasters and way to raspy. Muffler does have a drone around 18rpm but clears up when no load and also when crusing on hwy. Yours sounded good to me. Wish I knew how to upload the sound. Just lucky to do pictures.

  8. well i just found out that im going to be a dad! my wife and i are really excited. it wasnt planned but god has his plans. its the first and im so scared. just thought i would share with you guys. :D

    Congats had 3 myself. The girls dont tear up the cars like the boys do. Had 1 girl no car trouble. Two boys alot of sleepless nights. Midnite calls and a lot of broke cars. It all starts after 16. The first 15 years arent as bad as the next years.

  9. I am confused on the 160 and seached the sites and I found two diff part numbers for the 160 thermostat. My truck is a 5.3 2004 and I dont know if I need the sle100223(which looks like the housing plus themostat) or just the thermostat 100228(which is just only the themostat and no housing unit). Summit said the 2003 were different ?

    I know you guys have talked about this before but I just dont know which part number to use. Do I need to buy a whole housing unit ?

  10. I'm looking for a loud exhaust. Anyone have anything or any suggestions?
    Flow sound on Ebay has a 6'' race muffler . Has one chamber. With cats on, not too bad. Cats off, wear ear plugs and your neighbors calling the law. Its a pop off of a flow master but only 1/4 of the price and if you dont like it sell it on craigs list. You may lose only your shiipping cost plus the install cost.
  11. After installing my supercharger 2nd gear would not hold , it slipped big time. I had to install a shift kit and corvette servo. After 4 years I broke the tranny. Mostly my fault, I hit a slight dip in the road as it was going into second and it was a washboard road after the dip. I broke the main output shaft into.

    I drive a little more careful now. Mr P is right on. I heard from a GM mech that the servo's on the trucks are smaller than those on the camero and vets. Something about they wanted a softer shift on the trucks. I hope I got this right.

  12. I too love this site. I have had help on quite a few things here. I know what you mean by all the name calling. I think you hit the nail on the head. Some folks know alot more than others and thats why I am here. One one site I was nade fun for buying sylvannia bulbs . I dont care if they burn out every year . I like the look. Thats why they make Chevy trucks and the other brands.

    I wish not to affend anyone just make friends a learn.

  13. Couldnt agree more with the fireman. Had six diff muffs and when u add or delete something up stream it changes the whole picture. A fairly loud muffler may sound great with cats but if u delete them omg do they get loud. U may lose some low end but I am supercharged so I really dont know if I did or didnt . It still pulls hard enough for me.

    The trucks came with too small of a servo on the tranny. Change to a corvette or a bigger servo. When I added the super 2nd gear didnt want to hook up without slipping.

    New corvette servo and shift kit solved the problem. Taking off the cats will require someone to tweak the computer where your check eng light will not come on and will not dump extra fuel to scrub the cats(this eliminates the gas smell that u get sometimes after cats off)

  14. I have had 6 mufflers on my truck and I loved the sound of the flowmaster but I had the 40 series and have headers and cats at the time. The flowmaster 40 series have a drone that drives me nuts. Took off the cats had a flow sound race muffler and a two chambered flow sound. These are pop off's of a flowmaster.

    With the cats off it was way too loud and racked off like glass packs when you were at 1/2 throttle and pedal to the metal. The drone gave me a headache. Found a thunderbolt on the web 18inch body stainless steel which is a pop off of the magnaflow. They make one even longer(wish I got that one). Very deep sound , it got louder after a week. Has a drone but I can live with it. It has a short rpm range with the drone. Highway 60 and above just deep sound. Wot , well with headers and supercharged, You can hear me far away.

    Not raspy , I really like it. Flowmaster have a very good sound. I know some guys like it but on a trip the drone is a killer.

  15. I have read on another site that a guy called it satans blood . This was on bobistheoilguy site. The next reply was another guy talking about it eating intake gaskets and then another guy has his flushed every 50k and now at 150k no problems.

    Talked to my Chevy mech and he said that guys that do not check their coolant level and over heat the engine are the ones that have the most problem with dex cool. I had mine flushed at 50k and replaced. I am at 75k and it is still clean and clear. Have not changed the coolant in the supercharger yet. It is at 50k as I waited until the engine broke in before adding the magna charger.

  16. A friend of mine just wont let it go. He keeps asking me about a sway bar for the back of a truck. Says he read somewhere a suburban will fit. I dont know what years to what truck. Also what good would a rear sway bar do ?

    Does anyone have any info on this mod ? :confused:

  17. How is it at 70 miles an hour cruising
    After 60 very low noise inside. Outside with hard accleration gets loud but not raspy. I do have a drone but not a headache type. It is not that bad. It has a limited rpm range before 60 and goes almost completely away. I hope that it doesnt get louder.
