  5. Tuning Nightmare

    in PCM Tuning

    Posted

    its in the tune. I bet your timing is not blended in the transition areas and when you drop out of steady speed it does not know what value to use. I dont have EFI so I cant look at your logs/tune but someone might be able to compaire tunes and let you know how much work was put into it.

     

    I would also guess it needs more air, in HPT its base running air flow

    bump...still no budge.

    gonna get better puller tool, hopefully today and see if I can get this off without cutting it...anyone know the part number for the seal at the bottom of the steering box?? is this a dealer part?? I would hope not seems like there are too many of these boxes floating around to not offer the seal at the local parts store.

    Got it up and almost apart. Any tips to get the pitman arm off? I have a cheap puller, but it has some pressure on the arm, i have hit it with map gas and even put the oxy-acly on it and its not budgeing. Dont wamt to cut it off but it seems like that is the only way this is coming off. I will post my tips when i get it done. Great way to kill a weekend, and its snowing.

    Any way to find the old owner?? Then i would ask dynonshop if they remember or can put you intouch with someone who knows. Where in mi are you? I could pull the tune amd compaor it to anstock file...how does it run

    A guy down here bought an old members truck and when he found out whos truck it is we found all the build info, takes some thought to do head cam swap.

    So my truck has a good wobble in the wheel. I know my tires are old but think this could be tie rods or the pitman arm. How would you tackle this? I dont want to buy all new stuff if I dont have too, tires are spendy. Should I just do the pitmans or screw it and do it all??

     

    Any tips or advise, its cold and I dont want to waste time.

     

    And after I get this done I am getting new tires and an alignment, any suggestions on good all-season tires?

     

    anyother parts on this list that could get up graded? tie rod sleeves?

     

    I was reading this stuff goes bad on the big tire crowd...so I just might bit the bullet and get all new moog parts :( damn this stuff is expensive.

     

    thanks for your advise and tips

    I was following the drag pack camaro and it has a 5.3 with a TVS on it and went 9's

    I know the 5.3 must be special or they dont want to go all out and 6.2 it up and max out the 2300 because it will be faster than a vette and close to the ZR1

     

    I wish I was around for the COPO days and could have piced out what exactly I want!!!

    AWD Reg cab 6.2L factory supercharged, vette brakes, recaro's from the Caddy's....

    Man, I am sorry I missed this outing, but I should be cool to go if you do go back to Lapeer this weekedn if the weather permits. I had a thing at the kids school last sat @ 4:30 so it would have been too tight to make it back in time.

     

    RiceEater got .4 using some smaller wheels (wonder if he still has them for you to use :))

    With these heavy arse trucks its like .05 for every 100lbs...I saw no gain in dropping my gate/spare, now if you did gate, spare, jack, passenger seat...then you might get a worthy gain but you are not that guy, you like to run it as you drive it! I agree.

  25. Are You A Label Flipper?

    Absolutely, I was looking at tires for the SS the other day and quickly found out what tire companies are based in America. I will always drive an american truck, and i'm into bicycling a lot and when it was time for me to purchase my first pro bike I went with the American company Trek. Why? Because it's made here in America of course.

    pretty sure only the super high end carbon fiber bikes are still made here, the rest are made in china (my brother just got a super nice alum trek and the first thing he had to do was pull off the made in china sticker :( ) My old trek 520 is american made I believe, but its 20years old :)

     

     

    I do like to buy american. I do not shop at walmart b/c of this and would rather drive than support a company that's mission is to destory small businesses. I have also started to buy my clothes second hand, I would rather support the salvation army than a crappy 'over seas' company.
