So i read that thread and i have a pretty good idea now how to set it up. Thanks. What's a good type of catch can that work's well on our trucks?

Could anybody tell me how to vent my crankcase without useing the sts electronic pcv i dont trust it and i would like to just use some mechanical setup with check valve's and a catch can possibly?? Ive been looking around on other threads but couldnt really find anything for my truck. Any diagrams or whatever would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Hey guys, i kinda have a silly question.. Im running 5w30 castrol syntec as we speak but im getting ready to put my turbo on possibly this weekend if my tune arrives. But question is.. is that oil safe to run on an sts turbo system? I didnt really know considering there's a return pump an not knowing whats safe to run through it. Any recommendations would be great. thx

If anyone has a sts turbo kit for sale let me know. Thanks..

Finally someone's honest lol. what kind of shocks do you recommend?

I haven't had time yet to mess with the front end but i was wondering if anyone has ever put softer leaf spring's in the rear so the truck's weight empty in the back would compress the shocks a little kinda like loading the bed to get a smooth ride and of course for anyone that doesn't use the bed for loading and hauling. Or would it make the truck bounce alot..

Alright thanks man. Ill try that this afternoon and see how it turn's out.

I baby the truck anyways so that won't be a problem.. Did u notice a big improvement without them? I have enough clearance in the back i think without having to put a c-notch in the frame.. it's a street truck only and i never load the bed but yeah i have added weight and it rides nice but kills the gas. i might cut the bump stops in the back a little and put bell tech street performance shocks on or bilstein's.

will it be ok without front bump stops??

I did a 3 inch drop in the back and i have about and inch or more between the bump stop and axel. what i don't get tho is that i had plenty of travel before i did the drop and it still rides the same. i don't expect a truck to ride like a caddy but it shouldn't beat the hell out of ya. what i did leave out is my front is riding on the bump stops there's no clearance maybe that's normal..

My truck beats me to death and i need some advice on what i should do.. I'm trying to squeeze as much comfort as i can out of the truck now i did a ground force drop kit, it replaced the rear shackles, hangers, front springs and all four shocks and it still rides like it did when it had bad shocks my girlfriend doesn't even want to ride in it half the time because when u go over a bump it feels like u ran over a 2x4 and it just feels really rough idk if ground force shocks are crap or if its from doing a spare tire delete, having a roll pan and having the bed empty making it lighter in the back but any recommendations of shocks or whatever would be great.

Thank you. I'll run it at 30psi and check them.. My front tires were starting to wear on the insides but i don't know if that's just from the tire pressure or alignment..

Does anybody know what the best tire pressure would be for a smooth ride on 265/50/20 Toyo Proxes S/T?

Im about to order a detroit trutrac 8.6 10bolt 30 spline im guessing thats right? i counted the bolts on the rear end but looking at gears i only see 8.5 4.10's? i dont see any 4.10's that say 8.6 and im guessing if i get those two thats all i need for my mechanic to put them in?? just the locker and gears?? And what brand gears are the best?

Thats what i was wanting to hear. thx

Could anyone tell me if 4.10's would get me to 98 quicker then the stock 3.42's in my truck?

My main concern was if i do the 4.10's will they get me to my top speed quicker then what my stock 3.42's do. And lets say my top speed is 98 since thats what it cuts off at.

Im looking for mirror caps for a 99-02 silverado if theres anyone that has some that are painted or primered for sale let me know.

If i was going to get the 4.10's would it make my truck run more in its power band? And what would the top speed be because i know u lose top end. Or would u recommend something different if it was you.

I have a 99 silverado rcsb, 5.3, 4l60e tranny, 265/50/20 toyo proxies and 3.42 rear end i was wondering if anyone could tell me what rpm's i would be running if i put a 4.10 rear end in with a tru trac?

Would you happen to know what year lq4's that was?

Sounds good thanks.

Well i was planning on just getting a 6.0 that had everything on it already but if i cant find one ill hit you up about the harness thanks. as for the handles and mirrors is there anyway someone could give me the part numbers ive looked everywhere and all i have found is a pre primered bumper cap on www.rockauto.com or if someone has some used mirror caps or handles that are pre primered or already painted i would be interested.

Sounds good but if i get a 6.0 say a lq4 and it comes with the pcm and wiring harness it should just be a direct swap? I know alot of ppl post this on the internet asking this question and it probably gets annoying but i just wanted to make sure because i dont really see any posts about 99 rcsb swaps. I have another question tho can anyone tell me what i can do to get my mirrors, handles, and front bumper cap color matched and could the stock black textured plastic thats on there now be painted? im not planning on doing it myself because i have no experience with painting just wondering if a paint shop could do this.
