    I have one on my 6.2 denali and really like it, power is instant and keeps pulling to the rev limit. just accelerating very gently from a stop light its already making boost. My only complaint is its too quiet :thumbsdown: Some might like that, and to be honest Im starting to as well, after always driving my Procharged SSS.

    L8ERBRO didn't go for a "easy kill" the 300 was trying to start shit with him. Then he got smashed on, I think it was more of a sarcastic type post which everyone got except for you. You make it seem like he's only out there looking for stock vehicles to smash on check out any of his other videos and you'll see that not the case.

    THANK YOU!! reading all this ive been laughing my ass off and shouting this exact statement at the screen!

  4. Truck consuming oil and spraying out dipstick

    well bad news, drove her today and its still having all the symptoms as before. I'm at a loss as to where to check next, I really don't wanna do a compression test because the procharger makes it a major pain in the ass, but I guess I will just have to man up and get my hands a bit dirty. I am just really doubting its the rings because the truck isnt down on power at all and I just had the heads off and all the cylinders where in good shape.

    The fourth comment down in this post, the guy says that the PCV is built into the valve cover and not replaceable.

     

    In the second linked discussion there's a guy talking about cleaning his PCV out with carb cleaner. The guy in the second link had oil coming out of his dip stick tube also.

    Good luck. :cheers:

    I think mine must be built into the valve cover because there is nothing in-line, I will try cleaning it out like discussed in the second link.

    Thanks a bunch guys!!

  7. Truck consuming oil and spraying out dipstick

    So my truck just recently started consuming oil and spraying out the dipstick? I did some research and figured it was a bad PCV valve, but both part stores I went to say my truck doesn't have one? Is it different on an 05? I pulled the vacuum line off from the intake to back of driver side valve cover, and tried to pull the barbed fitting of the valve cover (the part I thought was the pcv valve) but it doesn't seem to wanna budge its like its just part of the valve cover.

    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Glad to hear she's back. Go eat up some rice running around Calgary. If there's none there head to Edmonton. There's plenty lol

    Fair share of rice down here in Calgary too. Its to bad on Sunday I rolled up beside a wicked looking tbss at some lights we were both first at the lights, the guy looking like he was down to race, but it was like the second time driving the truck since the fix and I didn't wanna push it hard just yet. This weekend tho I'm gonna take it for one hell of a joy ride looking forward to it!

    That's awesome good job on the quick turn around fix.

    Thanks! I was on a freaking mission, From the second seeing that white smoke I think I had it ripped apart and heads off in like 4 hours haha. This is defiantly the most in depth repair I've ever done, but pretty much if you've got the tools and a bit of experience wrenching I would say pretty much any one could tackle it. I changing the oil once again today and now there is pretty much zero coolant mixed in, going to do it one more time this week with whatever oils on sale, then one last time with a new mobile 1 filter and some mobile 1 synthetic. That will be about 5 oil changes in 1 week so the truck should be happy haha

    Well she's back on the road boys!!! Good as new, fixed a few other odds and ends while I was in there, and now its running great. Going to change the oil a few more times over the next few weeks just to make sure all the coolant is out. took me about 20 hours to complete. It would have gone faster but I spent a lot of time cleaning everything before it went back together. looking forward to another 100 000 miles in my SS!! :thumbsup:

    Sorry to hear that man. 190,000 miles and having a procharger something was bound to give out, glad to hear you can save it! What procharger are you running, a p1 or a d1? Keep us posted!

    Im in the landscaping business and its looking like rain on Thursday, I hope it does and my parts arrive by then. It would be sweet if I could be cruising again by the weekend!

    I will keep this thread updated and hopefully post some pics once I get some time.

    I Also cannot believe how clean the motor is inside I was expecting to see it just caked with carbon I don't even run a catch can haha. But there is zero and I mean zero carbon build up In the intake ports and on the valves, also you could eat off the tops of the pistons and the combustion chambers.

     

    I Think it goes without saying that im already a diehard GM guy, but after this Its even more set in stone, this truck has been so much fun and given me no trouble along the way, BTW my 4l65e is Bone stock and still going strong :thumbsup:

    Its a P1sc

    That is a ton of miles with a procharger! And only a head gasket? Not bad. I'll be following this to see how hard it is to fix.

    So far tearing it apart was actually pretty easy, once I get the new parts we shall see how easy it all goes back on

    My 05 procharged SS with 190 000 miles finally quit on me, blew passenger side head gasket. I already pulled the heads today and ordered new parts nothing fancy just all new fasteners and felpro gaskets for the intake, heads, and exhaust manifolds. Would've done studs and ls9 gaskets and all that but honestly didn't see the point it will never see more than 6-8 psi and I just want my baby back on the road asap! Any tips/tricks for doing the new gaskets is appreciated.

    Thanks

  23. Another Z06 brake thread.

    I read that the hawk one piece covers a tad more of the over hang than the padlets. I used the padlets. They make a ton of dust. The rotors from summit are the correct ones. One piece. I'd recommend cleaning & painting the rotors. I'm getting some oxidization around the rotor.

     

    Also, invest in the Russel Stainless lines. You'll be all up in there n you mind as well.

     

    If you use the padlets you will need the pins. They are the guides for the padlets. I believe you will still need 4 pins for the guides for the hawk one piece pads

    Okay So even tho the picture on summit says "rotor hat not Included" it does come as a one piece rotor? Because I have been wondering
