  2. RCSB radiator swap

    in Bolt On Performance

    Posted

    Hey guys, I've done some searching and found very little about the subject. I'm getting closer to doing my lq9 swap and wondering if anyone knows for sure that the 34" radiator would be a direct swap into my truck. I've read that the shroud would be a little short on the sides but I can deal with that until I get my efans, I just really want the nice stock appearing look for oil cooler lines. I was just going to block them off but I can get the radiator for 50$ so I figured run it.

     

    So the question is will the mounting bolts for the top beam of core support bolt up?

     

    It looks to me the hoses will reach a few extra inches?

     

    Thanks for any help, in advance

  3. ENGINE MOUNT OPTIONS"

    One thing we've done with duramax mounts where i work is put a healthy size bolt through them. That clears the block and bottom mount. It may seem redneck but it helps retain some of the anti-vibe and usually won't break again. I have only seen a few if them break and that was on 900+ hp duramax. Maybe An option to consider.

    Have you ever checked your steering gear box for slop? I really don't see why it would hit in a turn as there really shouldn't be any flex to it.. I guess it would help to know what kind of headers you have. The way your engine should pull under load in drive is up and looking at my set up you'd have to have alot of flex in your engine mount to hit the steering shaft. I am just brainstorming here so please don't harp on me lol. What I would do first is do a little brake torque standing still, in forward and reverse, and see if your mounts have any excessive movement. You should be able to see through the gap in your hood. I guess the next spot I would check is the bushing unit in the firewall. I know all trucks are different with fitment and everything, but I would definitely check out all the possible culprits before slapping on new motor mounts.... I had issues with my pacesetters smashing into the frame on passenger side from down shifts and such... Never the driver side though.

  8. Trans cooler fititngs

    I recently bought a B and M super cooler to replace my stock aux. cooler on my 03 silvy Z71 and I'm hoping from some help finding fitting sizes. I want to use my stock cooler lines and just put the fittings in my new cooler..

     

    Does anyone know what I need to go from stock tranny cooler quick disconnect fitting to a 1/2 NPT?

     

    Or what size the stock fitting is? I cant find it anywhere

     

    Thank you in advance!

  12. TFS 216/220 .560 lift with 12499224 LS6 springs

    Hey guys, I am new to the site, but not new to LSx and have been looking at this forum for sometime. I just acquired a 2004 LQ9 for my 03 4x4 Z71 RCSB along with trunion kit, servos, Yank SST3200, HD2, Pacesetter LT's, 3inch dual exhaust through a dual in/out magnaflow x pipe muffler. I have access to EFI live tuning through my job and have a healthy tune on my Current 5.3. My original plan was to install the motor stock with headers and tune. As I cleaned it up and put on new gaskets I could not help, but notice I had about another $600 I could toss at it. I looked on SilveradoSS and other forums/posts to figure out what I thought would work best in my budget. I noticed Zippy's thread about cams and saw that The TFS 216/220 .560 lift was what I was looking for at this price point and boost being a future thought of mine. I ordered the 12499224 ls6 springs from summit along with LS2 Chain, and the jegs brand chromoly pushrods, a new oil pump too.

     

    My question is are the part number of the springs I ordered the correct ones? 12499224 its says .570 max lift and my cam is .560. I've read that crane ground these cams, along with lunati, and comp so I'm not sure what kinda lobes its got.

     

    its just that <obviously> I don't want a valve dropping on me and I guess I could send them back and save for a bit for some PAC 1218's. I would really like to hear that the LS6 springs will be just fine, but I am here to gather opinions to help my project to go forward. I've heard good and bad about pretty much all the beehive springs.

     

    I'm hoping for a reliable, powerful little truck.

     

    Thank you in advance, any help is greatly appreciated
