  1. 805 Area Transimission Shops?

    in AWD, Differential, & Transmission Tech

    Posted

    YES - I have most of my transmission stuff done over at CRC transmission, and they are doing a complete axle rebuild next week too on my truck.

     

     

    Talk to Craig the owner, cool guy - tell him BIG DAVE sent you, he will cut you a price break. They did my 4l80 swap... they are located in Thousand Oaks, right off of T.O. blvd.

     

    Here is there phone number -

    805-497-0399

     

    ask for craig.

     

    Alright cool. Thanks for the info. I will be sure to contact Craig and let him know you sent me.

  4. Clunk Sound When Breaking?

    in Suspension & Brakes

    Posted

    Check all the calipers and rotors to see what may have made the noise. Maybe a component is loose somewhere on the truck and that's what made the sound. The truck still brakes and drives alright?

     

    Yea truck is driving fine and braking fine. I just replaced my rotors and pads about 2 months ago. I did a visual inspection today and noticed I have one lug nut missing. I wounder if that is what the sound was from. Guess its time to recheck all my lug nuts.

  9. Servos?

    yes, theres a 4th servo if you buy 1 get the sonnax http://cgi.ebay.com/...RK%3AMEWAX%3AIT

     

    heres the boost valve http://cgi.ebay.com/...846322081869018

     

    vette 2nd servo http://cgi.ebay.com/...sQ5fAccessories

     

    unless you just have the extra money dont buy the billet 2nd probably not worth an extra 50 bucks more than the vette 2nd, I dont know what the transgo comes with but these are what your asking about boost valve will increase line pressure to help hold.

     

     

    Thanks for the links. I am going to go ahead and purchase these, then I will be looking for the transgo hd2 shift kit. I have also found a TBTC I am going to be buying as well. Hopefully soon I will be able to get these parts and a tune put in my truck. I'm looking forward to it. Thanks again for all the help.

  10. Servos?

    The link you have posted has a picture for a 700r4. That is not the boost valve that is in your 4l65E transmission. Also the accumulator pistons are both for a 700R4. In your trans you will have a small pin piston for the 1-2 accumlator, a large hole for the 3-4 and the forward acc has a small hole with a smaller diameter. The servo is correct. Just wanted to point this out so you know what you are looking at. Vince

     

    I 'm glad I asked before buying. I am starting to gather that it may be better to just buy the corvette servo. Is there a different servo for the 4th gear? Do I even need to buy an extra boost valve since the Transgo kits come with one? Thanks for all the help.

  14. Pros And Cons Of Adding A Tbtc For Dd

    in AWD, Differential, & Transmission Tech

    Posted

    I ran a TB converter for a very short time when I first got my truck and was one of the first mods I did to it. I bought my truck with the intenstions of pulling my Camaro around.......but that obviously didnt happen lol For the money, it is a very good bang for the buck. I believe mine flashed to 2800 damn near.

     

    But, then again it is still a STOCK converter. Guys with maggies have used them before and have been successful. On the other end iv heard some grenading them also. At the end of the day, they are still a stock converter and arent ment to take excessive torque load.

     

    As mentioned above, TCS, Circle D, and Precision Industries are all good converters. If you are looking to make decent power TB converter isnt what you want. If you are going to keep it simple bolt ons, I would say go for it.

     

    Always remember, you get what you pay for!

     

    I am for sure not going forced induction on my truck. I am going with just some bolt ons with the most being a cam. I don't have a ton of money to throw into my projects right now since I am in school still. So those are my intentions. I am for sure going with a tune also but am trying to wait till I get the most work done on the truck first before I send out for a tune. Thanks for all the input guys.

  16. Pros And Cons Of Adding A Tbtc For Dd

    in AWD, Differential, & Transmission Tech

    Hey guy. I am starting to think about adding a shift kit (zippy, or Trans-Go), servos and possibly a TBTC to my truck. I use the truck as a DD and do very little towing with it (Just jet skis, and a small enclosed trailer for quads). I am wondering what the pros and cons are for adding a stall to a daily driver. Also if no one thinks a TBTC is a bad add, I'd like to know what the proper p/n is for the TBTC. If I add the TBTC do I have to have the truck tuned for it right away, and a bigger fluid cooler? Thanks for the help.

  18. Flowmaster Guys With X-Pipe

    in Bolt On Performance

    Posted

    I was running Duall 40's before I put an x-pipe in and I was begining to hate the mufflers. The sound was fine for me, but it did have a lot of drone. There was what seemed to be low end loss. I put the x-pipe in before the dual 40's and what a difference in performance that made. The throttle response is better and it smoothed out the sound. The sound tone seems to change a little bit, but mostly just a smoother sound. I do thing some of the drone is gone also. Right now I have stock manifolds will soon be changed to Edlebrock shorties I got from my brother so we'll see how that changes things.

  19. Alignment Issues

    in Suspension & Brakes

    Posted

    Hey guys,

     

    I'm taking my truck in for an alignment again next week. Do I need to put the Belltech wheel alignment kit on since I keep having alignment issues with my Belltech 2" drop? The truck is pulling bad to the right.

     

    belltech 4955 kit

     

    Is bad alignment what causes the Steering wheel to vibrate back and fourth?

     

    Thanks guys.

    I have a 2004 Yamaha YFZ450 that I am currently in the process of saving money for to build it for mx motocross racing. Money is falling short and decreasing and that's why I'm trying to sell stuff. But yea I like my quad, but I haven't been able to ride it now for over a year because it's been broke and it's in pieces right now because money is not working for me in my favor. I'm trying to build my quad for Nationals to race at the Pro Am Level, but if I can't get money to buy the parts I want and need, then I won't be able to race or ride at all.

     

     

    Quads are fun. I have an 08 yfz450. I love the thing. I'm trying to figure out what route to go with suspension.

  22. Crush Ring Or Collector Gasket?

    in Bolt On Performance

    Posted

    use the factort gaskets with factory bolts. go to a dealership and get a new set of them. there is 12 bolts.

     

    on a side note, y did u get shorties? they are a waste of time man.

     

    I have the luxury of smog and no one I know that does smog checks. Plus I got them for next to nothing from a friend. Thanks for the help about the bolts and gaskets.
