  1. I have the new d2s morimoto 4.0 bixenon projectors, and osram CBI bulbs for my new truck. Can't wait to see that cut off flicker that the new 4.0s produce!

    ooooohhhhhhhh you would post these literally the day after I just ordered brand new GM OEM headlights and park lights.

    He's right man. Cancel on the headlights or send them back. Those mh1 projectors are NO JOKE. Absolutely blow factory light output out of the water.

    OP: do you also have a Lincoln or mercury that you did a retrofit on? I remember coming across your truck and seeing those headlights online a long time ago if so haha.

  2. Where did you crossmenber from? I haven't done a whole bunch of research on it yet.

     

    I used some 1/4" diamond plate steel. Folded it diamond plate down and made a tab and just welded it onto the back of the stock member. Have me about 3 extra inches then just measured out and drilled the two holes in it. Ended up working great without hacking up the stock cross member imo.
  3. This sucks, more and more SS' coming up missing weekly it seems like. When my brother flipped the truck I was building, his no name insurance offered us just under $13K or about $10K and a half if we wanted to keep the truck (which I obviously did to sell the drivetrain I had put into it.) The truck was a 2006 LS single cab short bed z71 with 92,XXX miles on it. I'm surprised they are only offering you barely more than half of what my truck brought. They're definitely cheating out. You should get 10-12 no problem imo even with 150K miles.

  4. Just my opinion on this, I am by no means an expert, but I would figure your G80 took a crap on you. It really isn't the best piece of the puzzle in the rear end. Id look into a set of OEM gears for it if the gears got chewed up and a TrueTrac or Eaton Posi LSD. I have used Richmond and Motive gears in a couple of past builds, the Richmond whined like crazy, Motive werent bad. Might consider doing a TA girdle with the stud kit. Should be good as gold with those parts. I am also in the same boat as EXGM and do not trust myself to do gear installs so Ive always used the same local shop.

    Yep! Sounds like the typical death of the G80. Go with a trutrac, and motive gears (I believe they make the oem ones.) Like red03 suggested look into a girdle and arp main cap studs. Most of the hurdles are made by the same company like Moser and ta, so just go with the better deal. Unless you can set up a gear set, you'll need to have it professionally done. You're probably looking around a grand or so all said and done if you can find some deals online for parts.

  5. We haven't stepped up to Facebook status around here yet you need to use another site called Tapatalk if you wanna post pictures nobody since I've been on here can explain why we have to do that but that's how it is

    It's easy to upload pics, but they have to be pretty small files, and each screen name is only allowed so much space, so after a few pics it tells you that you don't have anymore available space. I used to just delete old ones to upload new, but photobucket mobile is so much easier lol. Anuwaus, back to the topic, sorry to crash the thread.....

  6. The amazing thing is he doesn't mention the turbo AT ALL in the ad. NOT AT ALL. You'd have to look at the pics blown up full size and notice the STS tubing in the engine bay. Yep, rear mount turbo.

     

    By the way; you don't wanna throw any boost or nitrous at those Eagle RS-A's. Could get sketchy. :)

    Hahahaha I know man. He talks that turd up like you'd really think it was something, and leaves the out the only slightly cool part about it lol.
  7. I am selling the blower off my truck. It's the radix 112. It has the HD tensioner upgrade, and I have added some other performance parts to it. 90mm j tube, FIC injectors ( can't remember which ones, I'll have to check the reciepts. They were close to $500) x-link, 4bolt throttle body 87mm from a tbss and an extra pulley. Coming off my 2006 with everything you need for install except tuning and fuel pump. I may be able to throw in my oem flex fuel pump. Blower has nearly 25k miles on it. I want $3500 for it with all the extra parts. I can possibly ship at the buyers expense, or pick up in DFW. I might can sell it for less with some of the original parts it came with in place of upgraded parts.

     

    On an LQ9, from what I've read, it should be good for an easy 125 rwhp bolt on.

    Only photo I have of it right now (excuse the filthy engine bay):

  8. I have the updated intermediate steering shaft (part #19153614) and the green bushing (part #88963617) which were both updated versions GM put out to correct the steering clunk and slop. I bought these for my 2006 ss clone I was building, but no longer need them. Both parts are brand new uninstalled in factory packaging. Only taken out for the photos. The cheapest I can find them online with free shipping is $69 for the iss, and $32 for the bushing. These are OEM parts from GM.

     

    I am asking $75 shipped and insured to your door. Paypal accepted as gift or add fees.
