  1. Is It Possible?

    in General SS

    Posted

    True,but if they have a veeder-root alarms will sound if there is any water int he ground.Not all store have a veeder-root as they are very expensive.when fuel is dropped int he ground there is a pipe that fills the tank from the bottom up,that way it does not stir anything up while to tanks are filled int he ground.It is pretty neat how they are designed

    All tank now adays are fiberglass,nbot steel like in the 70's

    i know shell and chevron are on GMs list of approved top tier fuels to use. not many chevrons here in the northeast, so shell is the best option for us. its hard to say what affect these additives have on a motor, the idea is to prevent carbon deposits on valve stems and pistons, and allegedly help with lean misfires that GM had such a prob with. i've used a lucas fuel additive about once a month since new, and the idle quality in my truck is better than almost all the 6.0 k trucks that i service. i agree with the other guys, i wasnt the cause of your op failure.

     

    edit: keep in mind too, who knows whats lurking in a gas stations in ground tanks, water, sediment, i'm sure all kinds of crap. so it may not nessacarily be the brand of fuel, but also the station itself.

  5. Pedal Switch Nos System.

    It depends how you have it setup

    you can have a window switch,WOT switch and or both

    If you want to spray it off the line then have it on a WOT switch on the pedal,and of course you need the arming switch

    If you want to delay the nitrous or progress it you can do that also.

    With some good tuning,heat range colder plugs (NGK TR6) you will be good to go

    it is also a good idea to run a FPSS (fuel pressure safety switch)

    How much you wanting to spray?

    ok then you can use the 02 pcm for your 99

    take the 02 pcm and flash a stock 02 5.3 file in it.You must do a write entire to do this

    you use 2 credits inorder flash a different os and vin number in,unless you have a full year liscence for 99 and 02

    you must do a write ENTIRE to change to a different OS Also if the pcm has the 4.3 file and OS in the PCM,you need to flash a 99 5.3 file and OS,to do this Write Entire

    Also,after you that disable your VATs and see what that does

  15. Transmission Temperature

    in AWD, Differential, & Transmission Tech

    Here is what Frank at Performabuilt says,this guy knows trannies.

    Trans temps- This question gets ask a lot. What’s TOO HOT? Well ideally you want you average temp to stay under 190 degrees however I would not get to concerned till the temps get at and or over 230 degrees. Heat can damage a trans but with the exception of extreme heat 250 or higher this damage is a long term killer by breaking down fluid and causing rubber seals to harden and break.

  25. Re-tune For Headers?

    in PCM Tuning

    In all honest,save for some longtubes IMO.Shorties really are not worth the time or money

    edelbrock shorties on a 02 5.3 Z71 gained only 4 rwhp at peak,other than that is was the same lowend and midrange.Pretty much a waste.

    Hope this helps some
